Tired of running out of memory or transferring content via iTunes to your favorite Apple device? Worry no more, the Sandisk iXpand is here to make all your data storage and transfer problems go away.
The iXpand Flash Drive was launched along with a host of other devices by Sandisk recently. It acts as an expandable storage option for Apple iPhone and iPad users working in the same way as USB On The Go drives work for Android devices. The iXpand works as a dual flash drive which can plug into your system and phone with ease. Perhaps, the best feature of iXpand is that it can transfer files to your iOS device without iTunes. There are three variants which will be sold in the market based on capacity. The 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB capacity iXpand flash drives will cost Rs 4,490, Rs 5,990, Rs 7,990 and Rs 11,490 respectively.
The iXpand comes with an iXpand sync app which manages data between the iXpand drive and iPhone, iPad, PC and Mac computers. The device automatically copies photos and videos from the camera roll to the drive when connected, and gives the user the ability to play all popular format videos and music files from the drive. You can playback movie files across formats, you can encrypt files using the app’s encryption feature, open documents on your iOS devices and so on. What’s more, Sandisk states that the device will have an in-built battery, so it’ll not drain the battery of your iOS device while transferring content or viewing movies.
The SanDisk iXpand is compatible with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air 2, iPad Air, iPad mini 3, iPad mini 2, iPad mini running iOS 8 or iOS 7. The device is currently available online on Amazon.
