SanDisk iXpand Go 128Gb (SDIX60N-128G-GN6NE)

As you know, in "apple" smartphones it is not customary to use memory expansion slots. Lifesaver when there is not enough free space on board the iPhone are numerous cloud services or the SanDisk iXpand family of USB flash drives. Let's look at it using the Go model as an example.

Connectors at the tip of the "tails"

In appearance, the device is a typical USB flash drive with a USB Type-A connector for connecting to a computer. However, it is worth turning the metal part inside the cap by 180 ° and the Lighthing connector appears. Through the contacts of the corresponding port, the drive will dock with any iPhone, starting from the 5th model.

Mobile app

In order for an Apple smartphone to see a flash drive, you need to download and install the iXpand Drive application. It provides access to the functions of the drive and is a convenient file manager. Through the programme, you can set up automatic data backup, copy files from your phone, and it also provides an interesting opportunity to take photos and videos directly to a USB flash drive(bypassing the smartphone's memory).

External storage

The computer "sees" the flash drive without third-party programs as a regular external storage device. Data is read from it at an average rate of 75-85 MB / s, recording is performed at a speed of 45-55 MB / s. The drive is useful on a long journey (you can throw a whole season of your favorite TV series on it in high quality), mobile videographers who prefer to shoot in 4K resolution, and simply to solve the problem of lack of free memory in the iPhone.
