SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Luxe REVIEW | MacSources

A unique way to back-up your mobile devices.

When it comes to digital storage, I’m a firm believer in always having a backup option. That couldn’t be more true than it is for my mobile devices — namely my iPhone and iPad. While all my devices have limited onboard storage, I’m particularly concerned about my mobile device storage because I’m always using them and my phone in particular is my primary camera when I’m out and about. So one of the ways I try to manage the storage on my phone and tablet is to utilize devices like the iXpand Flash Drive Luxe.

DETAILS

The iXpand Flash Drive Luxe is a standard flash drive that is specifically designed to work with mobile devices. With it, users can easily move files between an iPhone and USB Type-C Android device or iPad Pro and automatically backup their photos and videos using the iXpand app. The flash drive has two connectors — Lightning and USB-C. Not only is this a great way to move files between an iPhone, iPad, and an Android-based device, but it’s also great for moving files between a mobile device and MacBook Pro. The flash drive features USB 3.0 as a high-speed connection and users can also password-protect their files. The iXpand Flash Drive Luxe features a swivel design with an all-metal casing that helps to protect both connectors when it’s not in use.
