Measuring 3 inches (7.62cm) long by 0.75 inches (1.91cm) wide and 0.375 inches (0.95cm) deep, the drive has been redesigned to be smaller and slimmer than the Connect Wireless Flash Drive, Susan Park, Product Marketing Manager at SanDisk, told me, so that it could be used on systems with cramped USB ports without blocking access to adjacent ports. The Connect Wireless Stick competes against media streamers and mobile drives designed specifically for smartphones, including the Kingston MobileLite, SanDisk Wireless Media Drive (80, 65, AU103), SanDisk Ultra Dual USB 3.0 Drive (12, 8, AU16) and SanDisk Dual USB Drive with Type-C Connector (59, 40, AU80).

The top of the drive has a 3D cube pattern that makes it shimmer when its angled under a source of light, giving it an artsy and modern feel. Theres a small power button on the right side and a small LED status indicator light is on the top of the drive. On the bottom edge of the drive is a small loop to attach a lanyard. Accommodating the post-PC transformation While SanDisk is known for its USB drives, solid state drives and memory cards, the company is trying to cater to phone and tablet users. As the smartphone is becoming a mobile computer for many users, Park said, the Connect Wireless Stick is a flash drive for those users. This is important as memory card slots are being trimmed from popular smartphones, with Apple and Samsung focusing on slimmer designs on their latest flagships. The Connect Wireless Stick starts at 29 for 16GB of storage, and the pricing goes up to 89 (57, AU76) for the 128GB capacity. The memory is embedded into the drive, and storage cannot be augmented after purchase with a micro SD card. The pricing of the Connect Wireless Stick is on par with the cost of a micro SDXC memory card, with a 128GB memory card.
