SanDisk 1TB Phone Drive with USB Type-C Turns Storage Limits Into Something You No Longer Worry About for $100

Smartphones and tablets still promise the world, but when the customary warning “not enough space” creeps up, the game is over…until now. High-end storage solutions can be expensive, but the gap between what you capture and what you can preserve on your device is only increasing. That’s where SanDisk comes in, with the Phone Drive, priced at $100 (was $13), a handy small USB Type-C flash drive that plugs directly into your phone, no adapters needed.

The drive connects via USB Type-C (the same one found on the back of most modern Android phones, iPhone 15/16/17s, iPads, MacBooks, and many Windows laptops or tablets), and you’ve got an extra 1TB of storage space at your disposal to store all those cherished photos, videos, and files. No more cloud subscriptions or deleting all your photos to free up space. With this, you can simply leave all of your high-resolution images, 4K films, and files to pile up. With a full terabyte to play with, those memories are safe from deletion.

According to SanDisk, if you match pair the Phone drive with their free app called Memory Zone (available on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows), it will do all of the heavy lifting for you by automatically moving new photographs / videos over, organizing them for you, and even backing them up. If something goes wrong, the software will even help you retrieve your data.

On USB 3.2 Gen 1, read speeds of up to 150MB/s are achievable, which is adequate for everyday use. Transferring large amounts of media is simple, and considerably faster than your ordinary disk, however the speed will vary depending on your phone or computer. The drive is small enough to fit in your bag yet durable enough to endure frequent plugging and unplugging.

The days of buying a new device solely for greater storage are over. SanDisk has created a simple device that allows your phone or tablet to hold a lot more; simply attach it and forget about storage issues. No more constant erasing to make space. If you’re running out of space on your device, this tiny gem is the answer to all of your prayers.
