From Conner’s earliest days, the focus was on pushing the boundaries of digital storage—engineering smaller, faster, and more efficient hard drives that helped power the rise of modern computing. Conner was driven by the mission to make powerful storage accessible wherever technology goes.

Today, computing no longer lives in one place. It moves with us—across smartphones, tablets, and computers—and the way data is created and used has fundamentally changed. Mobile devices now capture our most important moments, store our work, and run increasingly advanced applications. Yet as these devices become thinner and more powerful, their built-in storage remains limited and non-expandable.

This challenge became personal for Conner’s CEO, Jaci Jin. Like millions of users, she repeatedly hit the storage limits of a phone that otherwise worked perfectly. Upgrading hardware simply to gain more memory felt wasteful and unnecessary. Relying solely on cloud storage—dependent on internet access, subscriptions, and third parties—felt equally unsatisfying. There had to be a better way: a simple, physical solution that let users expand their storage, move content freely, and keep their data with them—anytime, anywhere.

That moment sparked a new chapter for Conner.

That’s why we’ve reimagined storage for the mobile era, developing compact, high-performance flash drives and portable SSDs designed to work seamlessly across iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and computers. Our localized, device-level storage empowers users to add capacity instantly, back up what matters, and access their content without depending on the cloud, extending the life of their devices today and into the future.

At the same time, the industry is shifting toward edge computing and on-device AI. More intelligence is happening directly on the device, not in the cloud. While this enables faster performance, greater privacy, and offline functionality, it also demands significantly more local storage for apps, photos, videos, and AI-driven data—without relying on external cloud services to offload memory.

As technology continues to move closer to the user, storage must move with it. Our legacy of innovation now lives at the edge—empowering people with smarter, more efficient storage built for the future of mobile computing and AI.
