SanDisk iXpand USB 3.0 256Gb (SDIX30N-256G)

The SanDisk iXpand USB 3.0 USB flash drive for iPhones solves the age-old problem of lack of free space for data storage and will come in handy for adherents of the video blogging genre — the footage can be recorded directly to its memory, bypassing the internal storage of the mobile device.

Flexible body

At one end of the flash drive is a full-sized USB port that flows smoothly into a flexible body with a Lighthing connector. When folded, the tongue of the "Apple" connection interface is pressed tightly into the latch on the "back" of the flash drive. However, over time, her grip weakens and the plug does not always sit tightly in its “house”. When connected to the iPhone, the flash drive seems to wrap around the phone, not particularly conspicuous and not disturbing with its presence.

Unleashing the potential

To unlock the potential of the drive, you will need to install the iXpand Drive application on your smartphone. The utility provides access to the full functions of the flash drive and is a convenient file manager. With it, you can configure the creation of automatic backups, play video files, take photos and record videos directly to a USB flash drive. Another useful option in the programme's arsenal is the encryption of selected files and folders in order to protect against unauthorized access.

Stability is a sign of excellence

SanDisk iXpand USB 3.0 provides a write speed of about 25-30 MB / s, and reads at speeds up to 90 MB / s, which fully corresponds to the "passport" values. With such an accomplice, buying an iPhone in the maximum configuration is not at all necessary — a flash drive will go with a bang for those who often face the problem of lack of free space on their smartphone. In addition, the model is an officially certified Apple accessory, which guarantees its stable and reliable operation in tandem with iPhones and iPads.
