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 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.
