256GB dual-connector flash drive

This PIODATA iXflash drive provides 256GB of storage with both USB Type A and USB Type C connectors on the same device. It is designed for users who need to move files between modern USB-C laptops, older USB-A ports, and Apple iPhones or iPads using the included Lightning adapter. The drive is Apple MFi certified for direct iOS compatibility.

Plug into USB-A, USB-C or Lightning ports

The 2-in-1 connector layout lets you insert the drive straight into a computer's USB-A port or a newer USB-C port without a separate dongle. For iPhone or iPad backups, the supplied USB-C to Lightning adapter bridges the connection, freeing up internal device storage by recording photos and video directly to the drive. USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface handles the data transfer.

Suits multi-device households and mobile creators

This drive suits people who regularly shift photos, videos or documents between Windows PCs, Macs, Android phones, iPhones, iPads, TVs or car stereos. Buyers who only use a single connector type, or who need capacities beyond 256GB, should look at other models in the range.

Questions about this item

How quickly does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface reach its speed limit during long transfers?

The USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection caps sustained throughput at its rated bandwidth, so extended copies will level off at that ceiling.

Does the drive get hot or draw extra power when plugged in all day?

It runs from the host port with no external supply, so heat and power stay within normal USB limits during continuous use.

Which iOS devices need the included USB-C to Lightning adapter to work with this drive?

iPhones and iPads with a Lightning port require the supplied adapter; USB-C iPads connect directly via the Type C end.
