Holiday time is all about family time. Whether you like it or not! 🙂 And it is no secret that this is the time when a lot of pictures are going to be taken! (I’ve already seen some cute Christmas photos on the blogs I follow)… Anyway, whether it is your baby’s first Christmas or just another year that little Joey is going to make that frowny face in the family picture, these photographs are ones to treasure for a lifetime… or more!
What do I mean by more, you say?
Well, what if I told you that SanDisk made a device designed for long-term data – a device that is expected to preserve photos for up to 100 years! Wow!
SANDISK MEMORY VAULT PRESERVES PHOTOS FOR UP TO 100 YEARS
The SanDisk Memory Vault is a photo album for the digital age! It allows you to preserve images in one reliable location. The device connects to USB for easy drag-and-drop functionality. It is a sleek, ruggedized, metallic design that fits in the palm of your hand!
It is so true, photos are so precious to us all. They capture special times in our lives – the way nothing else can. SanDisk wants to help us pass those images down for generations to come.
I received the SanDisk Memory Vault to try out. I found that it was light, easy to use and stores conveniently! I did wish they made them in bigger sizes. The biggest size being 16 GB, I really had to pick and choose which images I wanted to keep. (I have over 300 GB of pictures!)
Obviously, it wouldn’t store all my pictures, but I could select the really, truly important ones that generations after me would care about seeing. (Because I doubt they want 100s of picture of my garden, but they would want those good family photos!)
It’s kind of a mystery to me how SanDisk says it can store for up to 100 years (it hasn’t been around that long), but SanDisk says it was tested to support data that long. SanDisk conducted accelerated temperature cycling tests that simulated the effects of data retention over long periods of time. I have no idea what that means, but I guess you just have to trust them. Either way, I like that it is a sturdy way to transfer picture even RIGHT NOW to family and friends.
- Long-term solution for the memories worth preserving for generations
- Protects the quality of photos and videos
- Tested to support data retention for up to 100 years
- Create your own memory museum to preserve your special moments
- Designed for long-term reliability and durability with exclusive Chronolock™ Technology
Whereas hard drives contain moving parts and CDs can scratch; the SanDisk Memory Vault delivers the long-term reliability that our precious photos deserve. I think it is a great idea for those who love to look at their mothers, grandmothers and great grandmothers pictures (I do!). I cherish these pictures, and I hope generations after me cherish my own.
