SanDisk has announced the E31, a new USB-C portable solid-state drive in China. It is scheduled to go on sale on September 21. The drive is built for people who need to store and transfer large files, such as high-resolution photos, videos, and project archives.
SanDisk E31 SSD Specifications
The physical design of the E31 is compact. It measures approximately 85mm long, 45mm wide, and 10mm thick, and weighs about 33.2 grams. This form factor makes it easy to carry in a pocket, a small bag, or a laptop sleeve.
The SSD can survive drops from heights of up to two meters. It is also designed to operate in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 45°C and can be safely stored at temperatures between -20°C and 85°C.
Internally, the E31 uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface that supports a bandwidth of up to 10Gbps. According to SanDisk, the drive is capable of sequential read speeds of up to 1,000MB/s. For users moving large files, this transfer rate is about five times faster than what is typically seen with standard portable mechanical hard drives.
The drive connects via a standard USB Type-C port, supporting plug-and-play use with compatible laptops, tablets, and smartphones. It has broad software compatibility, working with Windows 10 and macOS 13 or later, as well as mobile devices running Android 13, iOS 15, and iPadOS 15 or newer.
iPad users can access their stored files directly through the native iPadOS Files app. For other platforms, SanDisk provides the Memory Zone application, which offers basic tools for file management and data backups.
Pricing
SanDisk is offering the E31 in three storage capacities to accommodate different user needs. The base 500GB model has a pre-sale price of 829 yuan ($124). The 1TB version is priced at 1,239 yuan ($184), and the 2TB model costs 2,199 yuan ($328). All versions of the E31 come with a three-year limited warranty from the manufacturer.
In related news, Aigo has recently launched the PL10 flash drive with Lightning and USB-C connectors alongside physical write protection, while Lexar has unveiled the world’s thinnest portable SSD with a clever magnetic design and 1,050MB/s speeds.
