PIODATA iXflash 256GB dual-connector drive

This USB 3.2 Gen 1 flash drive provides 256 GB of storage with both USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectors. It is designed for iPhone, iPad and computer users who need a single device to move files between Lightning and USB ports. The drive includes a USB-C to Lightning adapter and works with the iXflash app for direct backups. It suits anyone who wants portable, cross-platform file transfer without cloud reliance.

Passive operation with AES 256 encryption

The drive has no moving parts and draws power only when connected, so it runs silently and adds negligible load to a host device. Hardware-based AES 256 encryption secures data at rest without requiring extra software or battery power. Normal use involves plugging the drive into a phone, tablet or PC and running the backup or transfer task through the companion app. Thermal output remains minimal during typical file operations.

MFi certification decides compatibility

Apple’s Made for iPhone licence is the single specification that determines whether this drive will work with a given iOS or iPadOS device. Without MFi approval the drive cannot communicate with the Lightning port, so buyers must confirm their iPhone or iPad model appears on the manufacturer’s supported list. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and dual connectors are secondary to that certification requirement.

Questions about this item

How do I install the iXflash app and connect the USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive to my iPhone using the USB-C to Lightning adapter?

Download the iXflash app from the App Store, plug the USB-C to Lightning adapter into the drive's Type-C connector, insert the Lightning end into your iPhone, then follow the on-screen prompts to grant file access and start backing up.

Will the AES 256 encryption or the USB-C to Lightning adapter need replacement after extended use?

The AES 256 encryption is a firmware feature with no moving parts, so it does not wear out. The USB-C to Lightning adapter is a passive cable; replace it only if the connector becomes loose or physically damaged.

At what point does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface become the bottleneck during sustained 256GB video recording sessions?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 caps theoretical throughput at 5 Gbps. When writing continuous high-bitrate video directly to the drive, the interface saturates before the flash memory does, so sustained write speed will not exceed that limit.
