SanDisk has released a new version of its iXpand Flash Drive for Apple tablets and phones. This has a slimmer design, new software, and faster transfer speeds.

SanDisk's updated version of the iXpand Flash drive provides you with 128GB of additional storage for Apple devices.

Slim and pocketable design; Directly record and play content from the drive; Easy transfer with automatic backup

Large files cannot be transfered due to file format restriction

In just a few months after releasing the first generation iXpand, SanDisk were able to take head of reviewer and customer feedback from around the world, and create something that is more in tune with something available in 2016.

At $120, the 128GB iXpand works out to an affordable $0.94 per gigabyte. Three additional models are available, but the value isn't quite as great. The $89.99 64GB model costs $1.41 per GB, the $59.99 32GB model comes to $1.87, and the $49.99 16GB drive is the most expensive, at $3.12 per GB.

Fast read speeds; Built-in file manager; Integrated media playback and auto-backup

Flimsy connector cable; App crashed repeatedly when transferring large files in testing

SanDisk's iXpand in its second iteration is a solid, high performance solution for iOS users. On the downside, it carries a price point well over $1 per GB, making it one of the more expensive solutions.

Good product, purchased because I wanted something small. Careful, though, as it makes it easier to lose (this is a replacement for a similar one I lost), but this one has a rubber loop at the end which does make it easier to attach to things (and thus less likely to lose.)

If you own a iPhone and running out of space here is the SanDisk iXpand flash drive that will help expand your iPhone / iPad storage. This especially made pendrive works with Apple devices and available from 16GB to 128GB capacities.

Apple 's iPhone users have traditionally struggled with the storage space they get in their devices. There are two reasons for this: one, extra storage on a iOS device comes at a premium; two, iOS does not offer options like expandable storage, which is popular in Android devices.

Bought to provide mobile & instant storage capacity for iphone. Works great, the interface is also simple and reliable. I wish I was aware of this a few years ago. These ought to be sold at phone stores right there next to the iphone case.

This product looks really nice but unfortunately it keeps crashing. It's ok when u do a few photos at a time but when doing big files it crashes and goes back to home screen
