SanDisk Connect Wireless looks like a slightly bulky USB pen drive with a power switch on the side. The device creates a Wi-Fi network once you switch it on and you can connect up to three devices to its network. To access the contents of the drive, you need to install the SanDisk Connect Drive app for Android or iOS. This drive is compatible with iOS and Android and available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 200GB capacities.

Design

A power button is placed on the right edge of the wireless stick. The top has a transparent cap (like major USB flash drives) that can be detached when the stick is in use.

There is a single LED on the center of the front panel that lets you know using colours and patterns whether the drive is on, transferring wireless data, charging, low on battery, or updating firmware. 

How to connect Wireless Stick to Mobile or Tablet using Wi-Fi

After the app has been downloaded, you will power on the drive by pressing the side-mounted power button on the Connect Wireless Stick, ensure that the drive is not plugged into your computer's USB port and connect your mobile device to the drive's wireless network by going into your phone's Wi-Fi settings.

Once it's connected, you can move files on or off the drive and stream content from it with little to no delay. 

SanDisk Connect Drive app

It displays how much storage is remaining on the drive as well as what mobile devices are connected, with appealing visuals. It is smartly organized, making navigating files and folders straightforward.

The Stick is available in capacities of 16, 32, 64 and 128GB -prices are Rs 13,00, Rs 1,800, Rs 25,00 and Rs 4,500 respectively. (Prices changed randomly online on different online seller)
 
The SanDisk's battery life is rated for 4 hours 30 minutes of continuous video streaming and it takes about two hours to fully charge which will happen any time you plug it into a USB port on a computer. 

Our Review : 

1) During our testing, we are able to connect our smartphones via the app without facing any problems. 
2) You do not need external wifi access, the USB stick will create its own wifi network (no internet access) to which you can connect and transfer files.
3) The app did take around 20 seconds to start playing the file on each device, but once the streaming started there was no stuttering. The app's built-in video player doesn't let you add subtitles to the video file.
4) The ability to transfer files wirelessly is in general much more useful for your phone.
5)  It is fast enough and can watch a movie with out buffering inside it.
6) We think that a USB 3.0 interface can be better since most new computers support it and transferring large files would have been much faster. 
7) The battery lasts long enough for daily work or home use.
 
Note:

1) Whether the tablet is Android or iOS, getting access to the files stored on the Connect Wireless Stick requires installing a special app called Connect Drive. This acts as a file manager for the accessory.
2) It is compatible with iOS, kindle fire, android, OS X, and windows devices.  
3) If the tablet is communicating with the Connect Wireless Stick over Wi-Fi, it can not be able to connect a hotspot which means the tablet has no Internet access. 
4) Connecting multiple tablets or phones to SanDisk Connect Drive will lower its battery life.
5)  You can charge it using USB charger and it will run for an unlimited time in your car Trips.

Consideration :

1) The only downside is that it only connects to the network internet via Wi-Fi so you will not able to run internet using WiFi of Router at same time. 
2) Services such as Dropbox and iCloud exist to address this solution but they are not of much use if you do not have a stable Internet connection.
3) When you plug the SanDisk Connect Wireless into a PC or laptop, you can not access its data via your smartphones. 
4) It only supports USB 2.0 not the faster USB 3.0.
5) Videos purchased on iTunes are probably not going to play through the SanDisk app.

With its ability to maintain multiple streams, up to three concurrently, the Stick is an excellent travel partner to take with you on holiday.
