“Consumers are generating more content than ever and require more advanced solutions to help them capture, access, share and manage it all,” said David Ellis, vice president, product marketing, Western Digital.
“Our top priority is to empower people by giving them complete control of their content, so they have peace of mind that it’s reliably stored and at their fingertips when and where they need it,” Ellis added.
On the occasion, it also unveiled the 1TB SanDisk dual connector drive that works with the latest USB Type-C smartphones and laptops. Called “Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB Type-C,” the all-metal, high-capacity drive can easily transfer content between USB Type-C smartphones, tablets and laptops and USB Type-A computers.
The company also showcased industry-first gaming SSDs WD_Black P50 Game Drive SSDs with SuperSpeed USB 20GBbs transfer speed, to allow PC and console gamers to drive their game and play without limits. It also demonstrated ‘ibi’, a SanDisk brand device for photos and videos.
