SanDisk Dual drive bridges USB Type-A and Type-C

Technology transitions can be painful especially when it comes to hardware. Suddenly your device isn’t compatible or it is less convenient to use with any of those new-fangled accessories. The same is true when you have a new device and you have to buy new accessories for it or have limited compatible options with it.

SanDisk is trying to make the transition from USB type-A (traditional) to USB Type-C easier with this new USB flash drive. The slide-out thumb drive allows you to push the mechanism one direction to get a USB type-A port and the opposite direction to get a Type-C port. This way your drive can connect to old and new devices alike. It can connect to your phone, ultrabook, laptop, or desktop with these options.

The drive is available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB capacities. It is built to the USB 3.1 specifications for high speed performance. You can pick up a drive for your use from Amazon.com for less than the MSRP of $19.99, $29.99, $39.99 and $69.99, respectively.
