Review: SanDisk's New Lightning/USB 3.0 iXpand Flash Drive Offers Easy Transfers and Backups in a Slim Package

Mobile: You're including the original iPod in the mobile category to try and make your argument work? Ok, then we have to extend the timeframe out, since the only time the connector was different to the 30 pin dock was on the original 1st gen iPod in 2001. After that, the 30 pin dock was used which has a pinout that supports USB and Firewire. You're being inconsistent here, since if you're including the original 1st gen iPod but not the iPod shuffle I'm going to assume you're just trying to pull out ******** to make your argument work.

Mac (Energy): USB-C and MagSafe 2 are not one after the other, they are concurrent on two different products. You might as well have rolled the Mac and iPod into the same category! Oh wait, you did originally. I think I see why your argument is so stupid.

Mac (connectivity): Again, you've stated that USB-C has replaced the MDP connector, yet Apple haven't actually shipped any TB3 devices yet. Which device in Apple's lineup are you stating has replaced its MDP Thunderbolt 2 connectivity with a USB-C port? You're just making **** up now.

I will concede that yes, MDP replaced Firewire 800 as the high speed bus of choice, but the two busses overlapped for a time (TB was introduced in early 2011 and the Firewire port wasn't dropped from the MBP until mid 2012 with the introduction of the retina MBP).

In other words, your original argument, which seemed to be some sort of dig about "constant port changes" on the iPhone is just... total bovine excrement that you've only heaped more bovine waste product on top of in your attempt to defend it.

I haven't seen a sick burn this radical since Kriss Kross made us Jump, Jump.

So basically Apple has been known to change connectors on their devices, and it has happened more than once.

So basically Apple has been known to change connectors on their devices, and it has happened more than once.

The point was that it was "inevitable" that Apple would soon make the lightning port on the iPhone obsolete, making the purchase of this device worthless because "Apple will just change the connector" with no evidence of that other than the single time in the history of the iPhone (9 years) that they have done it, and that only goes to twice over 15 years if you include the 1st generation iPod, as he did, to try and make his point more effective (whether you consider the gen 1 iPod to be the same device category as the iPhone is an exercise left up to the reader).

Bringing up the Mac platform (somewhat questionably), doesn't even help, since ports don't change very frequently, despite the original attempt to class MDP > TB1 > TB2 as three different ports for the sake of this nonsense argument.

Drains the iPhone battery when only 25% through the initial backup!
Just purchased iXpand SDIX30 flash drive (128GB).

Why did I buy it?
Wanted to back up the photos/videos on my iPhone 6 - 128 GB. Have almost 100 GB photos and videos.

My problem?
After installing the app, I asked it to back up my photos, but it drains my fully charged iphone battery before it has even backed up 25% of the photos.
The manual says it has a pause button, which would be useful and allow me to recharge, but it has not!
It does have a cancel button, but I prefer to just unplug. I have tried several times with no luck in getting any further.

How should I approach making the product do the job it was designed for?
I am at the edge of giving up this expensive (€100) and Apple blessed product!

SanDisk's iXpand Flash Drive, which is able to transfer files between an iPhone and a PC, has been around since 2014, giving iPhone and iPad users a simple way to back up their photos, offload extra content, and expand the storage space on their devices.

Today, SanDisk is ready to debut a second-generation iXpand Flash Drive, introducing the same file transfer functionality in a smaller package with faster USB 3.0 transfer speeds and a revamped app that makes it easier to use. Available in 16, 32, 64, and 128GB capacities, the iXpand can back up a full photo library and store a wide range of media files that can be viewed directly from the drive.

Design

The new iXpand Flash Drive, made of metal and a flexible rubber, material, has a curved design with a Lightning connector on one end and a USB connector on the other end. When plugged into an iPhone, the USB connector wraps around the back, allowing the iPhone to be used as normal while it's plugged in.

Design wise, the iXpand Flash Drive works well. When plugged in, the iXpand sticks out from the Lightning connector about an inch, but it doesn't seem to interfere with normal usage. It makes it more awkward to hold an iPhone or stick it in a pocket with the dongle plugged in, but it's not difficult to adjust to.
