We analyze the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick, the wireless USB for Android and IOS

Sandisk Wireless ConnectStick

As many of you know and perhaps suffer from, there are a large number of manufacturers who choose not to equip their phones with a micro SD expansion slot, a real problem for users who tend to handle a large number of multimedia files, be they videos, photos or music. With the SanDisk Connect wireless Stick, it was never so easy expand the capacity of our phone.

This device built by SanDisk, allows us to enjoy all kinds of multimedia content wirelessly through its application available on both Android and iOS. SanDisk is a powerful California-based company specializing in the manufacture of Flash storage drives. Rrecently has been bought by Western Digital, a manufacturer hard drive world, with a long history in the electronics industry. The SanDisk brand that is very popular due to the quality of its products will retain its name within Western Digital Corporation.

Sleek design and solid construction

The device built en black polycarbonate exudes elegance and quality, on its front part we can see a design of hexagons with relief that create cube shapes depending on how the light falls, a detail that gives the unit personality, as SanDisk is used to in its product line, such as the SanDisk Ultra-USB. On this front appears a white led that will give us feedback about what isá happening to the device. The funny thing about this white led is that it is totally imperceptible if the Connect Wireless Stick is off. On its right side we find el button ignitionfáeyelash to press at the same time difficulteyelash of this happening by error. At the bottom back, we can place a loop, to attach it to our keys or where it suits us best, a classic feature of many conventional USB sticks that SanDisk has wanted to keep in its wireless unit.

I would like to make a special mention of the lid, since it is built in two parts, one of them, la Exterior, es plastic ttransparent of great resistance and the other, la interiorit's withálic  protectge the USB type A connector. If you lose this cover it is almost certainly because of your mistake, since it fits so well that it is practically impossible for it to fall off.

Measures of the SanDisk Connect wireless Stick consist of 191mm wide, 762mm long y 95mm thick. Something bigger than the conventional pendrives that we can currently find in the market, but considering that it includes a battery, an antenna and a Wifi controller under its chassis, it is a merit that it continues to be so manageable. To the touch and the weight you can tell that the feeling is good, and which feels tough.

Using the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick is very easy

The main asset of the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick is undoubtedly its wireless connectivity compatible with iOS and Android through a specific APP, and it is that as we have mentioned above using the device is very simpleWe just have to press the power button on the side and from our terminal or tablet find and connect to the Wifi network that the Wireless Stick is providing. Obviously a posteriori we can change the SSID (network name) and assign a password so that only those of us who want to connect.

In the application menu we will find very convenient features, such as connecting the SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick to a local Wifi network, which will allow us to remain connected to the device at the same time as we don't lose la connection to Intinternet de our Wifi.

The SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick is also still a USB stick

One point in favor is that the drive of this SanDisk Connect drive is still a USB 3.0 pendrive, with which we can connect it to the computer and upload files comfortably to take them from here to there or to enjoy them from our smartphone.

Up to three devices connected simultaneously

This is a convenient way to have a little server to share all kinds of files locally. So far, a great sum of functionalities and connection possibilities that gives us a huge increase in productivity for both the professional world and the personal one.

The autonomy of this device is 4.5 hours

In its best conditions, with a single device connected we will have 4.5 hours of continuous use, really this not his strong point, but at the level of small one-off transactions, accessing files four and a half hours is a long time, and offers us the possibility of watching an entire movie without worries.

Charging is relatively fast in 2 hours we have the unit at 100%  and of course we can connect it to a socket or a powerbank to extend the hours of use as much as we need.
