Over the past few years, storage on a gadget has become a negligible aspect for buyers. Pick a random smartphone or a laptop on any price category and there will be at least 16GB of free storage on it. With this in mind, the relevance of thumb drives has minimized in practicality. But Western Digital is finding a solution to make pen drives relevant again. It has launched 1TB pen drive in India that can be used on laptops and smartphones with a USB-C port.
The SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe comes with a maximum storage capacity of 1TB, which is enough to store about 13 full-length 4K UHD movies and millions of MP3 songs, although they both sound dated in the era of online streaming. If you are one of those people who like collectables, a 1TB pen drive will do the job. There are other storage variants available for the model - 32GB*, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. Moreover, it is compatible with all the Android smartphones and laptops, including the latest MacBook and iMac models with USB-C port.
