ibi, New 1TB Smart Photo Manager from
SanDisk, Offers a Better Way to Collect, Organize and Privately
Share Cherished Photos and Videos
The holiday season is about spending time with loved ones and
creating cherished memories together. While we capture these
priceless moments, many of us lack a simple way to manage them.
ibi™, the smart photo manager from SanDisk®, a Western Digital
brand (NASDAQ: WDC), is like giving friends and family their own
personal cloud to keep their memories all in one place. It’s the
perfect gift for those who need a simple, comprehensive solution to
take control of their photos and videos, so they can enjoy them for
years to come.
Available soon with 1TB1 of storage, ibi can store approximately
250,000 photos* or 100 hours of video** for just $129.99 MSRP. At
this affordable price, ibi is an ideal holiday gift to help your
loved ones seamlessly collect, organize and privately share their
photos and videos.
Today, it is easy to capture memories, from family gatherings to
baby’s first holiday season, with a quick tap on a smartphone,
tablet or digital camera. However, the simplicity of capturing
life’s moments is leaving many in a state of digital chaos. People
have an abundance of cherished memories at their fingertips, but
struggle to manage them all because it’s too overwhelming with
photos and videos scattered across multiple devices and services.
ibi aims to solve this problem by offering consumers a physical
device that sits in their home, with the added convenience of
“anywhere-access” to their photos and videos with its companion
mobile app and an internet connection.
Key product features of ibi include:
- Saves photos and videos in one place, ibi can import from
phones, computers, USB drives, and popular cloud and social media
accounts2
- Private sharing of individual photos or entire albums
- Stream photos and videos directly to your TV with popular TV
streaming devices3 – a modern take on the family slideshow
- Great value for a one-time cost and no subscriptions. ibi can
be a lower cost alternative to some cloud services offering the
same amount of space for a monthly subscription fee.
“There are many solutions available to help consumers share and
manage their photos and videos, but nothing matches the unique
capabilities of ibi,” said David Ellis, vice president of
marketing, Western Digital. “With ibi, we put consumers in control
of their content, giving them the peace of mind that their precious
moments are in one place, backed up at home, easy to find and ready
to privately share.”
Hitting the shelves just in time for holiday shopping, the new
1TB ibi will be available starting Oct. 14 at Best Buy stores
nationwide. ibi is also available online at BestBuy.com, Amazon,
Target.com and meetibi.com.
