    This little flash drive is so cool. I too have used SanDisk flash drives. I would really like to get my hands on one. Love it.

    Eli - To answer your question, the SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive has a microSDHC card built in as its internal storage. Other microSD/microSDHC cards (up to 32GB) can be swapped into the SanDisk Connect Wireless Flash Drive.

    whats the length of transfering a 1gig file to it wirelessly, just for reference.

    Yup! Got this two months ago & it does have the removable storage just like yours! You can indeed use the app for iOS, Android, and the browser from any wifi device with internet capabilities. Price? About $65 bucks at BestBuy. They adapted a internet connection passthru by putting your network settings via the browser accessible settings of the device & voila! Internet connection + your files in one connection! Awesome for on the go! Transfer rates thru wifi are decent, but I'm sure they capped them to conserve battery life! Bluetooth? Now that would be draggingly slowwww... which is why they went with wifi! Some video formats(mkv) aren't recognized in the android app which sux, but most everything it can copy then play if can't be streamed thru the app.

    I will be watching for these to be available in the Philippines. Wondering how the battery is changed/charged? The size issue is common to many USB devices. The computer manufacturer could give more space as a remedy but the USB device manufacture is the correct place to solve the issue. Until then we need to use USB hab.

    This is great for the Apple people who are file transfer impaired. Just tested this for the airline I work at, They work fantastic and will replace some paper products and good for maintenance crews. The PDF reader doesn't use the bookmarks...it's a very basic reader. You can however open files with whatever app you want.

  • @gtb2009b
    @gtb2009b 10 лет назад +1

    With the 16 and 32 connect flash drive like the one you have shown you can not use a 64 gb sd card. You must buy the $100 64gb sdxc then you can upgrade up to 2tb in the future. The one you have only works with sdhc card that will only work upto 32gb.

    I might get one when I can pick one up at the local walmart for $19.95. Most of the time I have easier access to a usb port than a wireless connection that I can bother to configure, at least in the environments that I work in.

    Sandisk Q&A States the usb will support up to 128 GB microSD card. I put a 64GB in and it works fine for me. The app on the other hand sometimes sticks with the file open and freezing the app screen but I just hit the home button on my iPhone and turn off the Wi-Fi and that works fine. It is just on certain files audio that happens. All said I am very happy with this Wi-Fi USB flash drive.

  • @unclejordan16
    @unclejordan16 8 лет назад

    Thank you good sir! This helped me feel better about getting a wireless usb flash drive. I don't own one yet, however I think I will be getting one now. I saw a 16gb for $24 at walmart. Unfortunately I need something bigger. And I also can't run iOS 8 efficiently on my phone.
    Anyways, thank you very much! I know this is near 3 years old now but it actually answered some questions. Also you look like my brother, so that's cool. Lol.
    Liked for great justice!

  • @Sertdatarecovery
    @Sertdatarecovery 10 лет назад +1

    Eli can you get Sandisk to send you the encryption, XOR, ECC and any other information that we need to recover their flash drives when their controller goes bad? We can work something out here :) We see a lot of these drives go bad and unfortunately these are one of the most unrecoverable Flash drives out there. Much appreciation

  • @laranitasantana
    @laranitasantana 9 лет назад +1

    I didn't have luck connecting to the wireless flash drive in my Note 4. Even after I updated the firmware for the flash drive. Sometimes was able to connect, sometimes didn't, and sometimes the App crashed. It works only with small files. Do not attempt to upload videos over 100 megabytes, it is very, very, slow and when it has uploaded 10%, the app restart the process again. This is very annoying. The concept of a wireless flash drive is good, but the technology is still in baby steps. I returned the wireless flash drive to Best Buy.

    Hi, I've been dying to get one of these but the new one from Sandisk does not allow one to swap out the micro sd, its a fixed flash memory. Any idea if there is a current model of this or anything like it that allows micro sd to be swapped out. Thanks

  • @misterprice2205
    @misterprice2205 11 лет назад

    Great review. Here is the deal. This thing has great potential, but It doesn't serve my needs if I can't upload from a remote computer without the app. You mentioned a web server. I have been snooping around in the file system, but can't find any PHP or HTML files to mess with. So, how does it SERVE? When you go to SANDISK.com is SANDISK actually serving from their site? If so, how could I load it with my own PHP files that will allow me to upload files? That would be really useful.

  • @JonthueMichel

    Hi, I have enjoyed all of your videos I have seen so far including this one but in this case I was hoping for info on how to fix or retrieve data on a Lexar Jumpdrive Secure. Its silver and black. It's an older one and it was doing fine until I dropped it on a concrete floor. It landed flat on its side. I presumed it was ok but the next time I used it on a computer, the indicator on the computer came on for a few seconds and then went off and hasn't worked since. I took it apart to see if I could determine the problem and a little metal piece fell out. It's about a half inch long and almost a quarter inch tall. It says on the top "48,000 CK" It's on a very thin piece of black plastic. I thought about soldering it back on but not sure what direction it should go or if that is even the problem. It would be great if it can be fixed but I would be content with getting data transferred to my new jumpdrive. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    I know Microsoft was creating a software for virtualwifi which if I am correct can create a additional wifi adapter. i. e. I could connect to other networks and be on more then one at the same time. I know they have a download for winXP but what about win7? I don't care about muliti connect on a virtual host I just want to connect to more then one wireless network.

    So I'm wondering, is the server OS on the Micro SD or on some other storage location? If it's on the SD, maybe one could reformat it and put a Linux server OS on it? If so, that would be a lot better, since I just setup an Ubuntu server. Plus with that, one could simply ftp data to and from it, thus making it readable and writable wirelessly.

I even tried to use it with my laptop while running two wireless adapters, having it connected to one and the other to the internet. It would always override the internet in the browser. :/

      I would be disappointed too. Im using a Media Streamer from Dane Elec as I type this on my tablet, it has a flash drive connection and sd card slot that gapoens to have a 64gb sd card. It is acting as a bridge to my router but allows me to surf or watch one of the video files. I have no special software to log into it and I can use my favorite player to view the video which bookmarks where I am on the video for later. Runs 8 hours on a charge with built in 2400mah lion battery. Got it at walmart for $27. range is 60'. so the Sandisk does not look that appealing to me.

    This looks to be astounding technology for Windows platforms, but what about Kindle hdx tablets? Can one download Amazon content? Say you buy a movie, or TV episode, can it be dowloaded to this device or is Amazon content limited to the Kindle memory in the hdx? For photos, docs, pdfs and such, I dont need this. But if it will download movies, well, that would be very useful. Unfortunately, I don't think Amazon would allow this. Perhaps movies from other sources like Ultraviolet woul work. Anyone know??

    I give you my word that I liked your video. But RUclips seems to like to censor that. It doesn't surprise me when this happens to conspiratorial analytical video presentations, but when it happens to channels like your channel, it does surprise me. I thought I'd let you know, even though this video is 3 yrs old...

    Yes. The flash drive will provide a offline virtual server, so there's no need of an Internet connection for that.
