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

Apple 's iPhone users have traditionally struggled with the storage space they get in their devices. There are two reasons for this: one, extra storage on a iOS device comes at a premium; two, iOS does not offer options like expandable storage, which is popular in Android devices.

I usually write Positive reviews but with this product being so poorly manufactured, I have to write a review. The USB connection is too tight, too small to fit most USB ports. It is a well-documented problem with ScanDisk, a well hidden problem with ScanDisk.

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.

The only files you can copy to this device are your photos, videos, and contacts. You cannot copy ANYTHING ELSE, not even your "notes" files; Apple believes they are NOT YOUR FILES, even though YOU created them, and they do not allow it.

Bought this to free up space on my iPad my iPhone and it has done just that I have saved all of my photos and videos onto this item whilst saving space on my phone which is important.And it was a bargain from John Lewis as other retailers were wanting over ￡120.

Picked up a 16GB iPhone or iPad and realised you can't store much on it? Time to pick up one of the best after-market storage gadgets we've seen in recent memory: the Sandisk iXpand Drive for iPhone and iPad.

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

Convenient

Worked once then did not work again

In addition to helping alleviate iOS storage woes, the new iXpand Flash Drive is a really handy tool. You can use it for backups and on occasions when you need to move files between an iOS device and computer. Of course it's perfectly functional as a standard USB pen drive as well.

Lots of functionality in the app; Small and convenient to use; Automatic backups; Direct photo and video recording

iOS storage and accessory handling limitations
