256 GB dual-connector flash drive

The PIODATA iXflash provides 256 GB of storage in a gray enclosure with both USB Type-A and USB Type-C connectors. It is designed for users who move photos, videos and files between iPhone, iPad and computer without relying on cloud services. Apple MFi certification ensures full compatibility with iOS devices. The drive suits anyone needing direct, cable-free backup across multiple platforms.

Sustained transfer via USB 3.2 Gen 1

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface governs how the drive behaves during extended copy operations rather than brief bursts. Large photo libraries or video offloads run at the bus-limited throughput of the 3.2 Gen 1 connection. Performance remains consistent for the duration of the transfer because the controller is matched to the interface specification. No thermal throttling or speed drop-off is introduced beyond the standard bus ceiling.

Apple MFi certification decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is Apple MFi certification. Without it, iOS devices will refuse to recognise the drive or restrict file access. With it, the iXflash works natively with the iXflash app for encrypted backup, direct recording and media playback. Buyers who need Android-only or PC-only storage gain no advantage from the certification.

Questions about this item

Does the 256GB iXflash run warm or draw noticeable power when I leave it plugged into a laptop all day?

The drive uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 and has no active cooling; typical flash drives of this type stay cool to the touch and draw only the bus power allowed by the port.

What do I need to own already so the USB-C connector on this 256GB iXflash works with my iPhone?

The package includes a USB-C to Lightning adapter, so you only need an iPhone or iPad with a Lightning port and the free iXflash app installed.

Will this 256GB iXflash work with an older USB 2.0 Type-A port on my desktop?

Yes, the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface is backward compatible and will operate at USB 2.0 speeds when connected to a legacy Type-A port.
