SanDisk today announced it’s next-generation iXpand Flash Drive. This mobile storage device is designed to help iOS users quickly and easily free up space on their iPhone and iPad – with up to 128GB of additional capacity.
According to a recent consumer surveyconducted by SanDisk in the U.S., many iPhone users are looking to free up more space on their phones.
“People are using their mobile phones to capture tons of photos and videos, and more than 70 percent of users transfer files off of their iPhones to another storage location,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product marketing, SanDisk.
“Our line of mobile storage offerings can immediately help them free up space. With the new iXpand Flash Drive, people can spend more time using their iPhone to capture what they love, and less time worrying about how and where to transfer these photos and videos.”
The iXpand Flash Drive features a new design that fits with most iPhone and iPad cases, a USB 3.0 connector for faster transfer speeds to Mac or PCs.
Plus there is a redesigned app, the iXpand Drive app, which offers new features and an improved user experience. Giving users the option to save space instantly, the app now has a camera function so users can shoot and save photos or videos directly to the drive instead of on their iPhone or iPad. The app also allows users to automatically back up content from popular social networking sites, as well as play back music within the app.
Built for the next-generation iXpand Flash Drive, the iXpand Drive app is available for download from the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
