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

For a ton of iPhone users out there I can see the iXpand Flash Drive coming in handy when they are running out of space from the tons of pictures they like to take. They can copy them over and save to a PC/MAC for storage and then clear out their iPhones.

Android users have always enjoyed expanding storage capabilities of their devices using either memory cards or USB drives. Apple, on the other hand, has never added an expansion slot on the iPhone.

+ Easy transfer to iOS devices; + Long Battery Life; + Nice App

The SanDisk iXpand is a flash drive that allows OTG transfers between your computer and your iOS devices. It isn't just your ordinary USB OTG drive and has a few tricks up it's sleeve. Let's dive into our review to learn more about the device and how it performs.

When was the last time that you paid more than R1 000 for a 32 GB flash drive Personally, I've never had to cough up that much, which is why the new SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive 's R1 500 price tag is so surprising.

Well constructed; Quick and easy to use app

Overpriced; Lighting connection not flexible enough

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.

The SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive is a must-have accessory for those with a newer iPhone or iPad.

The SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive instantly adds up to 128GB of storage space and it can work as a USB thumbdrive; Its iXpand Sync mobile app works very well both for media playback and content backup

The drive can't hold files larger than 4GB and only supports USB 2.0
