At $120, the 128GB iXpand works out to an affordable $0.94 per gigabyte. Three additional models are available, but the value isn't quite as great. The $89.99 64GB model costs $1.41 per GB, the $59.99 32GB model comes to $1.87, and the $49.99 16GB drive is the most expensive, at $3.12 per GB.

Fast read speeds; Built-in file manager; Integrated media playback and auto-backup

Flimsy connector cable; App crashed repeatedly when transferring large files in testing

This is a very reliable and useful little device. Pairs seamlessly with my iPhone 6s Plus internal drive. No issues at all. Well, maybe with price which is too steep imo. There are plenty of much cheaper ones out there and probably every bit as reliable I would think.

Unlike many Android phones and tablets, iPhones and iPads don't have expandable storage. You're stuck with the 16, 64, 128 or 256GB that are built in to the Apple device you buy. Unless you get an iXpand Flash Drive, that is.

The new SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive is super compact, very speedy when working with a computer and adds up to 128GB of storage to your iPhone or iPad; Its mobile app can back up data from your mobile device effectively and play back content well

The drive can't hold files larger than 4GB and doesn't support popular audio soundtrack formats; It shortens the mobile device's battery life

SanDisk's iXpand is a dual-pronged memory drive with a Lighting connector on one end and a USB interface on the other. It's designed to solve two problems: the first is the alleged difficulty in getting photos off your iPhone or iPad; the second is iOS devices' lack of expandable storage.

Easy to use; Plays back almost any media file; Clean and simple app

Bulky; No USB 3.0; Apple's ecosystem limits what the iXpand can actually back-up

SanDisk's updated version of the iXpand Flash drive provides you with 128GB of additional storage for Apple devices.

Slim and pocketable design; Directly record and play content from the drive; Easy transfer with automatic backup

Large files cannot be transfered due to file format restriction

This a great extra for your iPhone or iPad. I used it to backup photos on both. Since I bought mine, I have ordered two to give as gifts.

SanDisk is back with a redesigned iXpand iOS flash drive storage solution that is now better and faster than the previous model. Come and take a look.

A perfect device to take backup from Apple device quickly and easily.

Bought to provide mobile & instant storage capacity for iphone. Works great, the interface is also simple and reliable. I wish I was aware of this a few years ago. These ought to be sold at phone stores right there next to the iphone case.

This product looks really nice but unfortunately it keeps crashing. It's ok when u do a few photos at a time but when doing big files it crashes and goes back to home screen
