Storage manufacturer SanDisk has unveiled two themed drives featuring iconic Pokémon characters to commemorate the franchise’s three-decade milestone. The releases combine functionality with nostalgic appeal, offering fans practical storage solutions with licensed character designs.
The Mew-branded flash drive provides 128GB of portable storage via USB-C connectivity and currently retails for $27.99, reduced from its original $34.99 price tag. This option accommodates approximately 5,000 photographs alongside video and audio files, with transfer speeds reaching 250MB/s. The accompanying SanDisk application facilitates automatic syncing and file management across compatible devices including smartphones, Mac computers, and Windows systems.
For users requiring greater capacity, the Mewtwo Edition solid-state drive offers 500GB at $119.99, down from $149.99. This model delivers significantly faster performance with read speeds up to 1,000MB/s—approximately five times quicker than traditional portable hard drives—making it suitable for professionals handling large video files or high-resolution photography. The rugged construction includes drop protection up to two meters and contains no moving internal components.
Both products represent collaborative efforts between SanDisk and the Pokémon Company, arriving with temporary promotional pricing as the franchise celebrates its 30-year anniversary. Storage options accommodate different user needs, from casual photo backup to professional creative workflows.
