SanDisk - iXpand 128GB USB 3.0/Lightning Flash Drive - Black/Silver

This is the second one and is the best investment ever

A must have to sort out storage space that you may need to remove photos or videos from your phone.

Bought this for storage for my iPad and I phone.Great just as advertised .

A very good product with sample photos and videos on each stick which reduces the amount of memory space on the unit. You go from 128GB to 119 GB of available space. Deleting some pics, videos and music will free up some space.

Love it. I read other reviews - some said it did not work. I can understand because it drains the battery from a 100% charge down to 80% in 10 seconds but held at that until building up the criteria to download 20,232 photIs and videos. It worked, but the phone battery was completely drained. I plugged the flash drive into my laptop and all images were there! Way to go Sandisk! When you plug the drive in, select automatic download of photos and it will automatically download by year and months. Perfect!

This is my second one. I bought the 32 gig last year. My iPhone just has been full of photos I haven't wanted to delete since 2014. It was time to transfer them somewhere to create space. So I filled the 32 gig w/ is about 300 photos. And Just starting to use the 128GB. Super easy, plugs into the iPhone, open up the SanDisk app, transfer files over. Keeps me at ease knowing my photos are safe. I haven't tried any files yet, mostly photos and videos. Best Buy had the best pricing too and the only place I found the 128GB.

To start with, I have not been disappointed with Sandisk products. Prior to buying the iXpand drive I was, and still use, the Sandisk Connect wireless flash drive 64gb. The iXpand is equipped with your standard USB connection on one side, and a lighning wire connection on the other. The 128gb is curved at the end, so it essentially "clips" to your iPhone or iPad when you plug it in. It has its own app, but you can use the Files app in iOS just as easily. My only complaint would be that large movie files cannot play. The workaround for that is to get the Apple USB3 camera adapter. This allows you to plug a thumb drive in and a lightning wire cable, so you are providing the extra power the iPad or iPhone needs to play large files.

Pros: It is a great idea. The design is good too. It is very reliable. If you need to stop, it starts where you left off. Although my cons list is longer than my pros, I do think this is a good product and I recommended it to my friends. Cons: It doesn’t always seat well in the phone port. You need to reload it a lot. It takes a really long time but I had like 33k videos and pictures. The thing that really bothered me is that my phone said that the media that I had was well within the capacity of the memory of the drive but it fell short and I had to buy another one. The app crashes a lot too. It often times stops when my phone goes to sleep mode or what ever that is called.
