Dual USB Flash Drive: USB flash drive from SanDisk future

I just recently published a post about the world's smallest USB flash drive with a capacity of 128 GB by SanDisk. In the post mentioned in passing that the new models of external SSD drives use a standard USB Type-C for connection to PC and laptop.

It turns out that the company has released a USB flash drive, and with the support of both the two interfaces - USB Type-C and conventional Type-A. USB flash drive is called - Dual USB Flash Drive. If necessary, it can be connected to a conventional port, if at the PC / laptop has support for Type-C, a flash drive can be connected to this port, received a much higher data rate.

Developers SanDisk believe that over the USB Type-C future, so try to implement the standard as soon as possible. The company understands that the old standards will soon go out of use, so let the device only with the support of Type-C does not make sense. It is these reasons caused the release of a double stick, which, incidentally, is not much. It is worth recalling that the Type-C standard is backward compatible with all previous standards.

But it should be borne in mind that the geometry of the port Type-C does not compatible with the configuration of the previous connectors. But it's not a very big problem because many developers have already started to produce all sorts of adapters and adapters.

USB flash drive presented itself in March. Relatively recently, the product has been on sale, and not for the highest price. For example, in the Amazon device is priced at $ 39, 99. This applies to the model with 32 GB. According to company management, this USB flash drive is a bridge between past and future. In principle, this is acceptable.
