About SanDisk 256GB iXpand Flash Drive Luxe for iPhone and USB Type-C Devices
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
87% highlighting the lasting build
The build quality of this Luxe model is very good and it seems made of strong aluminium, which is nice as many Flash Drives are made of cheap plastic.
The drive's quality is very good and it is made almost entirely of space gray aluminum material.
86% were impressed by extensive compatibility, but 14% weren't
This flash drive is compatible with both iPhones and USB Type-C devices.
The main feature of the drive is its compatibility with all modern mobile devices without any dongles or cables.
The product information on Sandisk site is too vague to be clear.
I have tried the product on four computers but it does not work with USB Type A. Unfortunately, I cannot transfer pictures to an external drive from the Scandisk.

90% appreciated the data security features, but 10% disagreed
Installing the app allows me to set a password to protect the data on the Flash Drive, similar to the data on my phone. This is useful for private photos or work data that should not fall into the wrong hands if the Drive is lost.
I trust Sandisk hardware but am concerned about the privacy of mobile apps.
The USB drive fails to download large videos and immediately stops with a warning symbol, making it useless for me to clear videos from my iPhone.
I have no interest in sending my personal data to a server in a possibly hostile country just to use the product's app.
87% were impressed by the capacious storage, but 13% weren't
This flash drive offers plenty of space for storing photos, videos, music, and other types of data with a 128GB storage capacity.
I found it difficult to understand how 256GB could fit on a tiny flash drive.
88% praised the fast transfer speed, while 12% raised concerns
Transfer speeds were great, even with larger video files, I was never disappointed with the speed of data transfer from one device to another.
The transfer speed of this thumb drive is average and slightly lower than average.
It took me 6 hours to transfer 63gb of videos and pictures on my iPhone XR, and the transfer rate was slow.
