SanDisk - Connect 32GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive - Black

I wanted a PC to wirelessly access a USB drive in another PC. The device does accomplish the goal, but awkwardly. The host computer sees the device just like any thumb drive. The external computer sees it in a browser as a web page which responds very slowly to read/write commands. Furthermore, it took some effort to figure out how to make the system work.

I was looking for a way to store documents, photos, movies etc that I could use when traveling with just my ipad. This fit the bill. Easy to use, good wireless connectivity and password protected. Now I have all my media with me without having to lug along a laptop. Great product.

I jumped on this wireless flash drive when it was on sale and compounded the deal by applying a promo code I received from Student Deals. Which ever is on a better sale, buy it because here is a little trick to this Wireless Flash Drive. There is a flap on the side that carries the microSD card. That's right. You can swap out the memory cards. I've placed a 64GB and 128GB memory card in it; it has worked for both cards. This is a great piece to have so you can share files or even use it as a microSD card adapter in a pinch. Sure the transfer speed isn't that great but ti be able to expand it and share files makes it a great buy. I sort of wish the USB drive was shorter in length but then how would it sustain its battery life and sturdiness.

Previously used a portable USB hard-drive. Most of the time this 32 GB stick can do whatever I need. I can store files via wireless connection between phone , android tablet and computer. or the stick can plug into tablet, or into computer. I can keep extra books or movies on it and move them via wifi to my tablet. Can download a file from web via 3G phone, move it to stick then move it to wifi only tablet. Portable, lasts a while (days) from charge, don't have to carry spare power supply or cables. Sandisk supports streaming from the stick but that uses more power and seemed to lag, due to speed of connection on tablet and speed to decompress codec. Easier to move to tablet first, then turn off stick.

Overall I like this device. My studies and school have me working in a clinic setting where i cannot bring my laptop / books with me into various treatment rooms, patient intakes, etc... however, I can bring a small mobile device (Ipad mini, smartphone, tablet, etc...) The ease of being able to quickly find and add a file to my "device" that pertains to what I am dealing with in the clinic is nice. The fact that I can then put it back on the Sandisk instead of taking up room on my tablet is nice too. It also means I can pre-load the stick with a lot more information to access should I need it and just keep it in my pocket. The only thing I wish it could do was work wirelessly with my laptop and not need to be plugged in. Then I could quickly pop into the office, quickly upload or download something and rush back out without having to fish it out, plug it in, etc... BTW, it does have a pretty nice wireless range I've found which allows me to grant access to my colleagues so they can be looking at what I am during our shifts.

I purchased this for an overseas trip where I knew I would have limited internet. I wanted to take only an iPhone -- no laptop -- but still take lots of photos and videos that would otherwise quickly use all the storage space on my iPhone. It worked great for this purpose. As soon as I shot a video, I wirelessly transferred it to the flash drive, then deleted it from my phone and was able to shoot several times the amount of video that would otherwise be available to store on my phone. I knock off a star -- perhaps unfairly -- because I was under the impression from the product description that uploading other data from my phone to the flash drive was equally easy. It does not appear to be designed to work like that, however. Documents, for example, can be downloaded from a computer to the flash drive then wirelessly sent to your phone. But the reverse process is not available except for photos and videos. Or if it is, I haven't been able to figure out how to do it yet.

I hate how Apple still sells their stuff with only 16gb. Because of this, I never store anything on the iPad anymore. The 16gb is barely enough for all the apps I use (DJ apps, productivity, some games, etc.). This thing allows me to access media and other documents without taking up any of the measly 16gb on my iPad. I haven't done any battery run-down tests but I've only had this thing for a few days and I use it sparingly; still going strong. After playing with it a little, I noticed you can remove SD card that sits in it. I'm guessing the rest of the body houses the electronics to make it wifi-accessible and the actual memory part just takes up a small slot. This leads me to believe that while I bought the 32gb version, you may be able to get a 64gb or 128gb even and replace it. I haven't tried, but when I get a chance, I may tinker with that and see if it's feasible. If I do, I'll definitely update my review. As is, this thing does what it says it does and does it well. No complaints here.

Sets up in minutes, works FLAWLESSLY in transferring pics to and from my iPhone 6+ to ANY computer or other Wi-Fi connected smart phones. Large capacity, fast data transfer, easy organization of files, long battery life, great led status indicators, and completely portable and simple to use! Alien Technology for sure... a USB thumbdrive with built-in WiFi??? INCREDIBLE and AWSOME :-) The fastest data transfer is obtained by connecting via Wi-Fi DIRECTLY to the chip using your smart phone. The USB data transfer method works BEST using PC's or USB compatible devices. Works AMAZING!!!
