In a move that underscores just how much content-creation is shaping device design and storage demand, SanDisk has officially introduced its Creator Series of storage devices in India. Tailored for creators — photographers, videographers, vloggers, graphic designers, social media influencers, and basically anyone working with large media files — the series promises to deliver speed, flexibility, durability, and cross-device compatibility.
What’s in the Lineup
The Creator Series includes five distinct storage products, each addressing different pain points in creative workflows. Here’s a breakdown:
| Product | Target Use / Unique Feature | Capacity / Speed Highlights | Rugged / Durability Features | Price in India* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SanDisk Creator Phone SSD | MagSafe-attachable SSD for iPhones; ideal for direct capture & editing | 1 TB / 2 TB options; supports Apple ProRes 4K @ 60fps | Silicone shell, IP65 water & dust resistance, 3m drop protection | Starting at ₹10,999 |
| SanDisk Creator microSD (UHS-I) | For use in smartphones, drones, action cams | Up to 1 TB; read speeds up to 190 MB/s; write speeds (e.g. ~130 MB/s) | Temperature-proof, drop-proof, waterproof | From ₹1,809 |
| SanDisk Creator SD UHS-II | For DSLRs, mirrorless cameras — high throughput workflows | Up to 1 TB; speeds up to 280 MB/s; optimized for 6K video & RAW workflows | RescuePRO Deluxe data recovery included | Starting at ₹4,999 |

At the center of the launch is the MagSafe SSD for iPhone, designed for creators who capture and edit high-resolution content directly on their smartphones. Alongside it, SanDisk introduced high-performance microSD and SD UHS-II cards, capable of handling demanding photo and video formats used in cameras, drones, and other capture devices.
The series also features a USB-C flash drive for quick transfers between laptops, tablets, and PCs, as well as a dual-connector phone drive that allows creators to offload and share content seamlessly between phones and computers without relying on adapters.
Value-Add: Adobe Bundled Trials
To complement the hardware launch, SanDisk is offering software incentives: select Creator Series devices come with bundled trials of Adobe tools:
- Many models include 3 months of Adobe Lightroom with purchase.
- Some products (e.g. SD UHS-II) also qualify for 1 month of Adobe Creative Cloud access.
Why It Matters
The timing of this launch reflects a major shift in how content is produced and consumed. With 4K and even 8K video becoming commonplace, file sizes have grown exponentially, making high-speed, reliable storage essential. Mobile-first workflows are also on the rise, with many creators relying on smartphones, drones, and action cameras for their projects. SanDisk’s new lineup addresses these challenges by making data transfer faster and storage more accessible across multiple devices.
