📱 SanDisk 64GB iXpand Mini Flash Drive with Lightning Connector - USB 3.0 - for iPhones, iPads, and Computers (Model SDIX40N-064G) Review

I bought this to offload Procreate (it's a digital art app) photos and files from my iPad Pro. I haven't seen any videos or blogs where this works with anything other than photos and videos, but the built-in software in the drive makes it pretty easy.

Wow. This is the first time I've been disappointed with a SanDisk product. It was supposed to be a lightning fast iPhone to flash drive transfer but it broke so many times and they took your photos and videos and then sold them to other companies. It is correct by convention. SanDisk, you're trash, brother! Never again.

This device made my work a lot easier! I work as a surveyor and I have to constantly run to my truck to retrieve files from my email on my laptop. No longer! I will recommend this to all my colleagues. I ordered another unit that was not of the brand but was similar. It broke within an hour. So far this works great. The only problem is that it's easy to lose.

I can't believe a little magic wand has such power. Once the app downloaded, which was very fast, the flash drive was just as fast as downloading and backing up my iPhone. The phone could not be updated due to insufficient gigs. Now I have as many as I used on files and images. It is very convenient and easy to deal with the application. I highly recommend it.

Wow, very easy to use and I learned something new - it saves image files in Apple's native format (which my PC has no problem with). I've had trouble booting my computer via USB and cable, but this little device is fast, easy, and hassle-free. After copying to Sandisk, the files are easily transferred to my computer via the USB port on the other end. I wish I had had this many years ago!

Decent performance/price and works great. I feel that the design of the device could be improved with a flip cover or a slide out mechanism or something more secure. This form factor is so narrow and thin that it seems like hanging it on a smartphone just by cleaning it can damage the connector too easily with normal use. to lose. Other than that, performance is decent, and the accompanying application is easy to understand and use. A very good product for the price if you are careful with it.

I had one and lost it in the gully. Luckily I encrypt everything I put on it. I travel a lot and upload pictures of the machines I work on. I can quickly send these images to my clients via email or SMS from my i-device and then encrypt the data. I want the encryption to reflect the directory structure of the unencrypted part of things, but it just puts everything in one directory. There's nothing wrong with that, I just serialize everything with a date, and whatever duplication issues I have…

Drive needs an app to "back up" your phone, iCloud already does that. So it's superfluous. It allows you to copy or move your photos/documents to disk and it works well. Although classified as USB 3.0, the speed is similar to a good USB 2.0. You're lucky to see 15-18 MB/s. Other USB 3.0 drives that reach 500 MB/s are rather disappointing. Being more of a 'backup', the images are saved in Apple's proprietary Live Photo format, preventing them from being viewed on a PC. Disappointed again because
