Taipei, Taiwan – August 7th, 2015 – SP/ Silicon Power, the world’s leading provider of memory storage solutions, today announces the launch of its first dual USB drive – Mobile C80 with a USB Type-C connector and a standard USB Type-A connector. Type-C is the next-generation interface that will simplify all formats into one universal interface that will deliver both data and power between devices. Mobile C80 can absolutely fulfill the needs of storage space for Type-C ready smartphones, tablets, and notebooks. Type-C standard enables not only slim designs but also reversible connector which allows users to insert it into their device's port no matter which way up it is. Moreover, Mobile C80 has a USB 3.0 connector to truly bridge various computing devices and makes your digital life easier.

 

Type-C Interface Rules the Next Generation

The announcements of new Apple MacBook and Chromebook Pixel in March this year have brought attention to USB Type-C interface, and it is gaining rapid support from top-tier PC and consumer electronics manufacturers. However, many users may suffer from relatively few and specific expansion slots of new-generation mobile devices, and it is costly for additional storage space. Mobile C80 delivers up to 64GB of instant capacity for you to transfer and store content. Without constraints of internet signals and different kinds of cables and adapters, C80 promises easier, faster and more stable data transmission. Inheriting from Jewel J80/ Firma F80, Mobile C80 retains the ergonomic circular shape for easy grasp and perfect keychain accessory, but adds a sturdy 360° swivel cap to protect the connector from harm when it is not in use. Moreover, the zinc alloy casing of C80 features sandblasting treatment that enables delicate touch and provides superior resistance to scratches and fingerprints.

 

SP File Explorer Manages Files Smartly

Mobile C80 offers the exclusive free-download App－SP File Explorer, which is a file management app for your Type-C Android™ smartphone or tablet. In addition to the intelligent function of automatic file categorization, the app provides“one-touch backup” by which you can back up files stored on your mobile device with a simple touch only. All Silicon Power USB flash drive products come with a lifetime warranty, SP Widget application software which provides seven major back up and security tools and a 60-day trial version of NIS (Norton Internet Security). Furthermore, SP also provides users with the Recuva File Recovery software which allows users to easily rescue the deleted files including digital photos, documents, music and videos.
