A:AnswerThese drives are USB 2.0, meaning that their read speed is around 10-25 Mbps, while the read speed is 3-10 Mbps. These speeds may change based on the specifications of your device, I.E. if your device has USB 1.0 and not USB 2.0. USB 1.0's data transfer rate is around 1.5 Mbps.
A:AnswerThe sliding covers are quite tight when new. They will loosen with time and use. I also thought that mine were defective. Found out that I had to be forceful for the first week. Leave the hammer in the tool box. That would constitute "excessive force".
A:AnswerI don't know. Depends on the model of your iPad. These PNY USB flash drives plug into a standard USB (2.0 or 3.0) port, so your iPad has to have one of those ports available, or, if you have a port of a different type (e.g. USB-C) on your iPad, you can likely find an adapter that will allow you to plug in the PNY drive into the port that you have available.
A:AnswerSo 4 mb/s write speed is the spec for PNY Attache 4 (USB 2.0) flash drive. Might work.
You could go to a higher spec model PNY Turbo Attache 4 (USB 3.0) to be sure.
