Review on Expand Your iPhone and iPad Storage with SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go - 256GB Capacity by Tara Ford

Revainrating 1 out of 5

READ THE REVIEWS FIRST! Changes image names to a meaningless 43-character string!

I bought this unit because all other Sandisk units feel "best in class". However, not this one. First: for some odd reason, Sandisk decided that the image naming convention used by iCloud and your iPhone should be changed to something completely different, random and lengthy, making it impossible to tell which image is which. There's no way to check iCloud Photos or your iPhone to find out. I. Second, if you are using a case on your iPhone, you will likely need to remove it to connect the Sandisk iXpand. The Sandisk flash drive is in most cases too wide to fit in the power/USB cable hole. Not much, mind you, just enough to keep him from connecting. I had to remove my case (OtterBox) and carefully file the hole slightly larger. It amazes me how a company like Sandisk, whose products are usually great, can ruin their image with a big mistake like this device. Great idea, very poorly implemented. RETURN!

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Slightly torn
