SanDisk Ultra Dual USB 3.0 OTG Flash Drive Review

USB On The Go (OTG) is a useful feature in today’s smartphones like android, iPhone and Windows Phone. Using an OTG flash drive helps us to quickly transfer data from our smartphones without using a desktop computer. Data taken from one android phone can be transferred to other devices like iPhone with this mobile pen drive. Prior to the launch of SanDisk Ultra Dual USB 3.0 flash drive we were using the normal pen drives with an OTG cable. The data transfer is slow in these older storage devices. But SanDisk Dual USB 3.0 OTG flash drive can deliver read speeds up to 130 MBps on USB 3.0 port and write speeds up to 16 MBps.
