The memory space of my Samsung A30s had just been exhausted and it was a struggle to use the phone. I was prompted to delete some files, but all the files were very important to me.
I would have transferred my files to my desktop, but I need them handy. So, I was advised to get the Western Digital Dual Drive USB Type-C.
Designed specifically for next-generation devices, the dual USB drive has a USB-C and USB-A connector with 128GB storage capacity.
Unboxing
The portable Western Digital Dual Drive USB Type-C comes well packaged in a tight transparent pack. Tearing open the pack reveals the portable device which looks like a typical USB drive, but with a Type-C at the other end.
On closer inspection, the dual drive comes with a reversible slider which helps to switch between the traditional USB and Type-C connector and makes it is easy to use with mobile phones and laptops.
Compatibility
With dual connectors, the SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive USB Type-C lets you free up space easily on your smartphone or tablet and transfer files faster to your computer. The device works perfectly on any computer with Windows Vista®, Windows® 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Mac OS X v10.6 and higher OS.
For smartphones and tablets, the device is compatible with most Android phones. Basically, any host devices with USB Type-C™ ports and On-The-Go (OTG) support can use the device.
Design and Performance
The dual drive USB has a smooth surface with simple plain colours that gives it a beautiful but not flashy look and feel. Its design is nothing compared to the high performing device with high-speed USB 3.1 performance of up to 150MB per second.
This enables fast transfer between devices. The reversible connector has a symmetric design so that it stays right-side up, making it easy and fast to plug in. Also, the device comes with access to SanDisk Memory Zone app which helps to manage device memory on Android device.
Conclusion
The Western Digital Dual Drive USB Type-C is a yes for smartphone users who wish to retain their files while they continue enjoying their mobile phones. The device also doubles as a USB device and so serves the purpose.
It comes in different storage sizes based on individual preferences from 16GB to 256GB. The dual drive USB Type-C is affordable and can be purchased on the Western Digital online stores and comes with 30-day money-back guarantee and 5-yearlimited warranty.
