SanDisk iXpand Luxe 256GB USB 3.1 Flash Drive

The SanDisk SDIX70N-256G-AN6NE is a 256GB flash drive designed for people who move files between an iPhone, an iPad, a USB-C phone, and a computer. It pairs a Lightning connector on one end with a USB-C connector on the other, so you can shift photos, videos, and documents without cables, adapters, or a cloud connection.

When you plug it into a USB-C port on a laptop or an Android device, the USB 3.1 interface lets large video files move quickly. Switch to the Lightning side, and you can pull images off an iPhone in seconds, clearing space before a trip or an event. Because transfers happen locally, you avoid mobile-data charges and do not have to wait for slow hotel Wi-Fi.

The iXpand app can create an automatic backup of your camera roll the moment the drive connects, so new pictures are protected even if you forget to sync manually. A password-protection feature lets you place sensitive files in a private vault that remains locked on every platform.

Both connectors tuck into a swivel housing that shields the tips when the drive rides in a bag or pocket. A built-in keyring hole lets students, photographers, and frequent travelers keep the drive on a lanyard or a set of keys, making extra storage as easy to reach as a house key.

Whether you are archiving classroom projects, offloading 4K footage on location, or handing a client a finished presentation, this compact tool gives you plenty of space and speed without adding bulk to your kit.
