iPad compatible memory sticks

[er..n]

8th Gen iPad nearing The End..any ideas for a compatible low volume memory device?

I’d never use any stick but here’s a guide form Apple:
An external storage device must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT. To change the formatting of a storage device, use the Files app on iPad or a Mac or PC.

you need either Apple’s Lightning->USB/Camera adapter or a lightning<->USB stick like the SanDisk’s iXPand.
The lightning sticks - depending on the model - might require to use an app (they are not necessarily accessible directly from Apple’s Files).
If you use an USB-Stick exclusively on iPad or between iPad and Mac format it as APFS (on the Mac); for data sharing with other OS exFAT is the best option, because you will not run into file size restriction due to the file system.

I would strongly recommend using Apple’s adapter. What version of iPadOS are you using? The format-option @User #07242024 pointed to is available since iPadOS 18.x
