Incorporating wide range of products including USB flash drives, expansion cards, portable hard drives and external SSD, the SP Apple Series is about to satisfy all kinds of memory expansion needs with ease and little cost.
Instantly Add More Space for Apple Handsets with Multiple Interfaces
According to Gartner, the well-known research and advisory company, Apple’s iOS mobile platform saw its great slice of the smartphone pie with 17.9% for the first quarter of 2015. Moreover, the research corporation-IDC also addressed that Apple sold around 48 million iPhones during the third quarter of 2015, which outperformed the sales during the same period in 2014. However, the Institute for Information Industry recently released a report indicating that more than 35% of iPhone users claimed that the biggest problem they have encountered is “No enough storage available”. Additionally, the big price gap between iPhones/iPads with different capacities also troubles many users for they have to spend much more money to upgrade the storage. The problems of “Space Shortage” and “High cost” imply that there are more and more users looking for cost-effective iOS-supported memory storage devices. In response to such booing demands, Silicon Power offers the SP xDrive Z30 Lightning USB drive that enables easy storage expansion for iOS handsets. Furthermore, the Z30 features dual-interface design with Lightning and USB 3.0 connectors that make the drive a perfect bridge to move photos and videos among iOS handsets, desktops and laptops. In addition to Lightning-interface application, SP also takes the upcoming trend of USB Type-C into consideration and therefore introduces the Mobile C80 dual USB drive, which incorporates two connectors with Type-C and USB 3.0 interfaces. Equipped with the dual-connector design, the C80 enables data backup and transmission between devices with USB Type-C or USB Type-A ports.
