We’ll admit that wires have put us through our share of trouble in the past and still do till’ this day. We’ve been trying to decrease our wire amount over time and we think the new SanDisk Connect Wireless Media Drive will help tremendously. This durable aluminum wireless hard drive is pocket-sized and perfect for entertaining family and friends. You can wirelessly stream up to five different high-definition movies simultaneously, share photos instantly with the built-in SD card slot, and even stream music to tablets, smartphones and computers. All of this and more is accomplished with 8 hours of pure streaming battery life and the SanDisk Wireless Media app. We’ll definitely be adding this to our wireless collection.
