256GB Dual-Connector Flash Drive for iPhone and PC

The PIODATA iXflash provides 256GB of portable storage with both Lightning and USB-C connectors. It is built for iPhone and iPad users who want to back up photos, videos and files directly from their device without using cloud services. Apple MFi certification ensures compatibility with iOS devices and modern computers.

Ideal for mobile backup.

This drive suits anyone who regularly fills an iPhone camera roll and needs instant, offline space recovery while travelling or shooting. It also works well for transferring large media libraries between phone and laptop. Users who only need permanent, high-capacity storage inside a desktop tower should consider internal drives instead.

Plugs straight into iPhone Lightning or USB-C ports

The dual-head design removes the need for adapters or cables when moving data between an iPhone, iPad and a USB-C equipped PC or Mac. Extended connectors fit most protective cases so the drive seats securely. USB 3.2 Gen 1 delivers fast transfers, while built-in AES-256 encryption and read-only mode protect sensitive files on the go.
