Instant USB-C MicroSD Storage

The PIODATA iXflash Q is a USB-C MicroSD card reader that adds removable storage to phones, tablets and computers. A MicroSD card is not included, so you choose the capacity you need. The free iXflash app handles one-tap backup of photos, videos and contacts while you keep working.

For mobile creators needing flexible capacity

It suits anyone who wants to record video directly to a card, offload files without a cable mess, or keep a physical backup that can move between Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS and Windows devices. Buyers who prefer built-in flash storage with fixed capacities should consider a different form factor.

Plug in, insert card, open the app

Installation is simply connecting the USB-C male plug to your device, inserting a MicroSD card and launching the iXflash app for the first backup. The 60 W pass-through port keeps the host charging while data moves. The only common issue is forgetting that the reader itself stores no data without a card installed.
