Shoot photos on your USB type-C smartphone and need those on your PC? We got you. The top-end SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe lets you seamlessly move files between your USB Type-C smartphone, tablets and Macs and USB Type-A computers. 2 Which brings us to the title of this story. Does the (fine, we will give it its full name this time) SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type C do enough for the Rs 1,699 it charges for the 128 GB variant? Well, we think it does. In fact, we would say it is one of those gadgets that are close to a necessity for anyone who uses multiple devices like phones, tablets, and notebooks. It is not just about the storage but the convenience to switch data between devices. Of course, you can also use it to free up space on your device! This Sandisk SDDDC4-128G-I35 OTG Pen Drive image is for illustration purpose only. Actual image may vary. We got the 128 GB version and suddenly, we discovered that sending files between devices was as easy as plug, copy, paste, eject, and repeat! We were sending files between a OnePlus 8 Pro and an iPad Pro, and iPad Pro and a Windows machine, a MacBook Air and a Galaxy Note 2 Ultra by just using this handy little gadget. You do not need to worry about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. This is a good old plug and copy and paste play at its best. With a read speed of 150 MB/second, this is a very fast drive – you can transfer a gig of data to and from your device in less than a minute. A slight catch – it heats up a fair bit. We suspect that metallic casing has something to do with it.
The Sandisk Luxe flash drive has an ‘all-metal’ build. The polished metal is quite rigid and not fingerprint prone. In a month of rugged usage, our luxe did register a few scuff marks, but we’d say that it has resisted scratches rather well. Sandisk doesn’t claim any sort of water resistance.

Out of space on your USB Type-C smartphone? Simply plug in the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Flash Drive and easily move files off your device, freeing up valuable space. With all that extra space you can do more travel photos, movies, music, games and whatever else you want. Shoot photos on your USB type-C smartphone and need those on your PC? We got you. The top-end SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe lets you seamlessly move files between your USB Type-C smartphone, tablets and Macs and USB Type-A computers. In terms of functionality, however, the Ultra Dual have a big advantage that their predecessors did not. In the past, the connecting ports of mobile phones, tablets, and notebooks used to be different. Today, many have a similar USB Type C port, and a fair number also do not have microSD card slots! And that literally adds a new dimension to this handy little device. When inserted, the drive is automatically detected (on most phones). You can use the local file manager app to access the flash drive storage and then tap on Memory Zone APK to install the app (grant permission when prompted). The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe Flash drive has a premium design and works dependably. Sandisk’s Memory Zone App which makes transferring data from Android devices very convenient is the USP of the flash drive in our opinion.
Western Digital has now returned to that “One Drive To Store Them All” formula with the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type C. We will just call it the Ultra Dual henceforth, for the sake of simplicity and a more representative word count. We got the 128 GB version and well, it cuts a very impressive and very compact figure. It is solid metal with a USB Type C (3.1) attachment on one side and a conventional USB (Type A) 3.1 on the other. So you can plug it into any device with a USB Type C port or a conventional USB port. We can see people who shoot content on their phones just loving this (provided they are NOT using iPhones of course – those still do not have USB Type C connectors) as it lets them transfer information from phone to notebook literally in a minute or so. The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type C starts at Rs 839 for 32 GB and goes up to Rs 13,500 for the 1 TB one. If you have more than a USB Type-C or conventional USB device in your house and need to switch data between them, perhaps you should consider this tiny gizmo with gigs of storage in it. There was a time when expandable storage meant investing in a microSD card if you were using a tablet or a phone, or a portable HDD or a flash drive if you were using a notebook. They were two different parts of the byte-ridden storage universe. Yes, you could use adaptors and connect a phone to a flash drive or connect a microSD card to a notebook, but out of the box, they were two different kinds of storage, for two different systems. There had been attempts made to bridge the two, with flash drives that could plug into both a micro USB port (a phone) and a USB port (on a notebook) and others that connected wireless to the devices, but by and large, these had limited success. Read speeds up to 400MB/s. [32GB-64GB] Read speeds up to 150MB/s. Write speed lower and vary by capacity. USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 1/ USB 3.1 Gen 1/ USB 3.0 support required. Based on internal testing; performance may be lower depending upon host device, interface, usage conditions and other factors. 1MB = 1,000,000 bytes.Once done, grant the necessary permissions and then add Sandisk dual drive to the Memory zone app by tapping on “Add Storage”. That’s it. Looking for storage that works across your USB Type-C and Type-A devices? The all-metal, SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe lets you easily move files between your USB Type-C smartphone, tablets and Macs and USB Type-A computers. Now you can take even more photos and access them across all your devices.
