Overview
Not a cloud plan and not a memory card, the SanDisk Phone Drive is a small USB-C stick that adds storage to a phone. The Memory Zone app backs up photos and videos to it automatically and moves files between devices.
Offloading a full camera roll in one plug-in frees space without monthly fees. The single USB-C connector limits it to newer devices unless you carry an adapter.
Who it's for
Travelers, parents and anyone filling a phone with video get a quick offload and backup option. Users of older phones or computers without USB-C will need something else.
Pros and cons
- Adds storage to a phone
- Automatic photo and video backup
- Works across phone, tablet and computer
- Very small and light
- USB-C connector only
- Lightning iPhones not supported
- Write speed ceiling is moderate
- Box contents not listed
Performance notes
Transfer time depends on the USB connection, with speed topping out at the rated figure on a fast USB port. Backups run through the Memory Zone app, so the app needs to be installed on the phone first.
