I got the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter for transferring files between my iPad Pro 10.5” and Sandisk Extreme Pro 256GB USB 3 flash drive which has USB 3.1 Type A connector.
File used: A 4 GB ipsw firmware file and timed the transfer using stop watch to calculate speed.
Result? Success. It really works

Result? Success. It really works
Pros:
- Yes it works. My flash drive is seen as EXTREME256 in Files app of iOS 13 beta 1.
- Transfer speed from flash drive to iPad was 88 MBps which is higher than USB 2 speeds which cap out at under 40 MBps.
- Now you can download huge files to iPad using Safari and transfer them back to your flash drives using this specific adaptter
- Needed to be powered by inserting a lightning charging cable into the dongle to power the device.
- Transfer speed from iPad to flash drive was 38 MBps which is mediocre and is USB 2 type speed.
- Files app hanged crashed many times when Copy function was used. I had to use Move option which resulted in Copy on both devices and did not delete the file from source destination.
