This year I’ve got one in pre-school and one in first grade. That means that the amount of art coming home is about to EXPLODE. But mama’s got a plan. We’re going to be photographing it and then storing it all on a SanDisk memory card, which takes up pretty much no space at all. #WINNING!
SanDisk, which you can find at Best Buy, has a wide range of products that can fit your data storage needs. You can easily capture and transfer documents, as well as photos and videos (even HD!). Transfer speeds go up to 60MB/s for smartphones, tablets and action cameras. This makes them 10x faster than ordinary cards! Transfer speeds for DSLR cameras and camcorders are up to 80MB/s.
If you are like me and are constantly snapping photos on your phone, make sure it can keep up with you and that you don’t get the dreaded “no more space” message again and again. Add a SanDisk microSD card to your smartphone (or even to your tablet) so that you don’t have to choose between your photos and your apps. Having more storage can also enable you to shoot high resolution photos and videos without worrying that you’ll run out of space quickly. Capacity options range from 4GB up to 200GB.
I also love their USB for iPhone and iPad because you can transfer your pictures and videos easily between your devices. I am often snapping a photo on my phone that I need to edit on my laptop and this makes it a breeze to do.
Just yesterday, in fact, we had a major win thanks to SanDisk. We took advantage of the tax-free weekend here in Tennessee and got a new tablet for the girls (we have been rockin’ the original iPad, which still works beautifully except for the fact that we can no longer upload any new apps, so…boo). We walked into the store thinking we’d stick with the brand we have known and loved, but then we realized that the Apple products couldn’t make use of a micro USB, and that the storage capacity we’d want would mean that the iPad would run us $600. That’s when we decided to look a bit more carefully at some of the android options. And friends, we found one that for all intents and purposes offered the same quality as the iPad, and with the addition of a $39 SanDisk micro USB, we could match the memory of the iPad. Our total cost? $239. BAM! SanDisk saves the day!
Remember, friends, a lack of storage space doesn’t always mean that you need to upgrade your device. SanDisk might be able to get you plenty of extra mileage. Or it might be able to save you lots of space on your fridge for those lovely works of art, too! 🙂
