Worked once then did not work again

Operation is poor and glitchy .

The SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive is a fast, handy way to increase storage on your iPhone or iPad, but we encountered some reliability issues in testing.

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

The idea behind the SanDisk iXpand Flash drive is simple. Essentially a USB thumb drive that's equipped with a Lightning connector, it's all you need for an excellent storage expansion for your iPad (or iPhone).

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

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

Is your iPhone or iPad filled with lots of data? There are solutions, either you use Apple's storage or use an external drive that lets your backup your device data easily. Sandisk came up with the second solution and introduced iXpand flash drive.

Easy to operate; nice app

Limited file transfer; awkward to handle an iPhone or iPad when plugged in

SanDisk's iXpand Flash drive delivers what it promises to. Priced close to Rs.3990 for a 16GB variant, you will definitely find cheaper options available in the market if you can compromise on the looks and the multi-feature application.

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

In just a few months after releasing the first generation iXpand, SanDisk were able to take head of reviewer and customer feedback from around the world, and create something that is more in tune with something available in 2016.

SanDisk's iXpand flash drive brings additional storage to your Apple iOS device, but is the performance it offers enough?

My first experience getting photos of my ipad went well. However, the app renames your files in to 20 some character mishmash. It does not keep the original file name or give the option to create your own naming scheme. Improve the app and I could give a higher rating.
