Five SanDisk storage upgrades for campus devices

The SanDisk Phone Drive with USB-C connects directly to compatible phones, tablets and laptops and offers up to 1TB of additional storage. It transfers files between devices without a cable or cloud upload and comes in four colors. The SanDisk Extreme Fit USB-C Flash Drive is designed to sit nearly flush with a laptop’s USB-C port; it also offers up to 1TB for project files and other material.

For files that need to travel separately, SanDisk’s pocket-sized Portable Drive offers transfer speeds up to four times faster than select older portable hard drives, according to the company’s testing. The comparison is based on read speed against select commercially available 1TB portable HDDs; performance can vary by device and conditions.

Two internal SSDs target gaming devices. The Optimus GX 7100 NVMe SSD is an upgrade for compatible laptops, while the GX 7100M is designed for compatible gaming handhelds and adds up to 2TB. SanDisk says that capacity can accommodate a game library; the article notes that some AAA titles are 90GB or larger.
