Portable iPhone and PC backup

The SanDisk iXpand Mini provides 16 GB of storage with a USB 3.0 connector for computers and a Lightning connector for iPhone and iPad. It moves photos, videos and files between mobile devices and a PC without needing an internet connection. The drive weighs 5.8 grams and measures 150 by 102 by 8 millimetres.

Users who want simple local transfer

This drive suits anyone who prefers a physical cable to cloud syncing and needs Lightning compatibility for older iOS devices. It is not for buyers who require USB-C connectivity for current iPhone or iPad models. It is also not for buyers who want more storage than 16 GB.

Dual Lightning and USB 3.0 interface

The decisive specification is the twin connector: one side plugs into a Lightning port and the other into a USB 3.0 Type-A port. Read speeds reach 45 megabytes per second on the USB side.

Questions about this item

Which iXpand Mini capacity should I pick?

The iXpand Mini comes in 16 GB only, so there is no other capacity to choose.

What does the 45 MB/s read speed mean when I use the drive?

45 MB/s is the maximum sequential read rate; large files such as videos will approach that speed, while many small files will transfer more slowly.

What does the USB 3.0 interface limit in practice?

USB 3.0 caps the theoretical throughput at 5 Gb/s, so the drive cannot read faster than the bus allows even if the flash memory could.
