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.
