SanDisk is marking its 75th
anniversary with a special release. It launched the ever-popular Snoopy with a special line
of storage devices. The company has rolled out a portable SSD
and a set of dual-interface flash drives.
The design of this device is inspired by the classic comic. They’re built for everyday use. However, they add a little fun for anyone who grew up with Snoopy.
Design
and Style
The look is what makes this
collection stand out. The 1TB portable SSD comes with a big Snoopy illustration
on the casing, giving it a lighthearted feel without changing its small,
easy-to-carry shape.
The Phone Drive A+C models take things further, using full
comic panels that feature Snoopy on each one. Each storage size has its own colour,
yellow, red, or blue, so you can quickly tell which is which.
SanDisk clearly
wants this line to feel like a simple way to carry a piece of Peanuts
around with you.
Performance
and Protection
Even with the playful design, the
hardware underneath remains the same quality SanDisk is known for. The Snoopy SSD utilises
NVMe technology paired with a USB 10Gbps port, offering fast speeds of up to
1050MB/s for reading and 1000MB/s for writing.
It’s also built to handle
real-life bumps. It survives drops of up to three meters. It also has an IP65
rating for dust and water resistance.
The dual-interface flash drives work
with both USB-A and USB-C, making it easy to move files between phones,
laptops, and tablets.
If you want extra help managing your storage, the SanDisk
Memory Zone app handles backups and file organisation with little effort.
The two-port design on the Phone
Drive series is one of its biggest advantages. It solves the usual problem of
switching data between older devices and newer ones.
Since it works on just
about anything, you don’t need to hunt for a special adapter. The Snoopy
artwork simply adds a bit of charm to what is otherwise a very practical tool.
Price
and Availability
SanDisk has kept the pricing
familiar. The limited-edition Snoopy portable SSD sells for about $160, while the flash drives cost $12, $16, and $29 for the 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB models, respectively.
Since these are limited releases, they’re likely to appeal both to Snoopy
fans and to anyone who likes tech with a bit of personality.
