When it comes to external storage media, most drives connect to PCs or tablets through USB, or data cables in case of phones.

Not so for the SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive and SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive.

Obviously, these are Wi-Fi-enabled storage products. The former is a series of USB flash drives, while the latter are portable drives, not quite HDDs/SSDs but close.

The SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drives come in 16GB or 32GB. They sell for $49.99 / €49.99 and $59.99 / €59.99.

The SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drives have 32GB or 64GB and ship for $79.99 / €79.99 and $99.99 / €99.99, respectively. An SDHC/SDXC memory card slot is part of the construction

"Today's consumers own an increasing number of mobile devices and accessing content across them can be a challenge," said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing, SanDisk. "With the new SanDisk Connect product line, we're raising the bar on what consumers can expect from personal storage."
