Dual-connector drive for iPhone and PC

The PQI iConnect Mini 6I04-016GR1001 combines a Lightning connector and a USB 3.0 plug in a 16GB flash drive. It is built for iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac users who also move files to Windows PCs. The Iron Gray finish matches recent iPhone colours.

One-button backup app with fingerprint lock

The bundled app enables instant one-button backup so photos are stored directly on the device. Fingerprint protection secures the stored data, and the same drive transfers files between all your devices without cloud uploads. Apple MFi certification guarantees the Lightning interface works with supported iOS hardware.

Plug in and the app guides the rest

Insert the Lightning end into an iOS device or the USB 3.0 end into a Mac or Windows PC; the drive appears immediately. The app walks through the first backup and fingerprint enrolment. The only common issue is forgetting to grant the app storage permission on iOS, which blocks the one-button function until enabled in Settings.

Questions about this item

Does the Lightning connector on this PQI iConnect Mini 16GB drive wear out after many insertions?

The Lightning interface is Apple MFi certified, so it meets Apple's durability requirements for repeated mating cycles with iPhones, iPads and iPods.

Will the USB 3.0 interface throttle during a long 16GB backup?

USB 3.0 provides up to 5 Gbps bandwidth; the drive's controller manages sustained transfers within that limit without an advertised thermal throttle point.

Does the metal Iron Gray casing get hot when the drive runs all day?

The compact 0.31 x 0.50 x 1.75 inch aluminium body acts as a heatsink, keeping the NAND and controller at safe temperatures during continuous use.
