SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go for iPhone and iPad - DEMO & REVIEW
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- iCloud is a great way to mirror the contents of your Apple iPhone or iPad, but what happens when your device starts to fill up? For that matter, what if you want to share multi-gigabyte files between your iOS device and your Mac or Windows computer? In both cases, the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go is a fantastic solution with its dual USB-3.0 and Lightning connectors. You can back up everything from your iPad or iPhone and share it with friends. You can even copy movies onto the drive and watch them on your iPad without needing to copy the files onto the device!
But there are some things you'll want to know about before you make a purchase decision, even for a product at this low price point. Tech expert Dave Taylor of www.AskDaveTay... runs through a variety of demos, showing how photo backup to the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go works, and then showing on a MacOS X system how everything's easily accessible.

Thanks for the advice. Because of your video, I bought one of these. I needed to get my pictures off my phone before I took any summer trips and filled it up with new memories.
This review was really helpful! I just ordered one for myself. I recently had a baby and have COMPLETELY filled my phone with photos and videos of her! My windows computer hasn’t been letting me upload them, I’m thinking because there are too many.. So I’m hoping and praying this works for me!!
Hi the same thing happened with my son... i filled my phone with pictures of him and when I used the regular lightning cord to transfer to my pc it would disconnect. Please share if it worked for you. Thank you 😊
same happened to me, can't transfer from iphone to mac because too many items, so I hope this works, at that speed it could take weeks though, hopefully it's faster.
Got mine today & it backed up 54GB of photos & videos in less than a hour. Love this tiny device! :)
REALLY???!!!!
are you able to Load them back onto the phone ? Possibly when posting on social media ? Also did it take the media off of the phone , or just copy ?
How please??
@@TheHollywoodList yes!
@@tia4680 it will give u the option to “delete all”, “select” & I think to leave as is…I can’t remember the last option tho, but it does let u move files back & forth.
Your the first one that explained this properly I thank you very very much god bless
I don't usually comment on videos, but this was VERY well done. Great information and everything I wanted to know.
Thanks, Marcus. I appreciate the feedback!
I really like the way you speak, tone of voice and pace. Easy to understand!! Gracias
¡de nada!
"Or teen son its okay"
What does he even mean by that?
Great video and easy to understand! I ran out of Cloud space and do not want to pay for additional space. This is a great alternative. Just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you!
I was trying to find out for about an hour if I can play .mkv from this flash drive directly, finally this video gave me the answer, thanks! My main problem is that HD movies won't fit on my iPad storage, this drive will hopefully help me watch HD movies on my iPad on the plane.
I agree with you with iCloud.. I wish there would be an option that will pop up when your deleting something on your iPhone and if you want to save it on your iCloud..
I can't find it. It seems like iCloud has some settings that are configurable and I see a message about deleting in icloud but? It feels confusing and I can't reliably see where that happens. Look also on Apple ID settings for iCloud, not just the phone? I backup notes in an email account but I think my phone and iCloud are not totally mirrored. I used up all iCloud space but can't read clearly what is in there or choose what to let go of.
@@TeresaDLeecomedy all you do is turn on Optimise Storage under iCloud settings for Photos.
Hey there,
Thanks for sharing your review of the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive Go. It's great to see a detailed overview of its features and capabilities. I'm considering getting one for myself, especially since I have an iPhone with limited storage space. Your explanation of how it works with backups and file transfers is really helpful.
I do have a couple of questions before I make a decision:
1. You mentioned that the device's performance wasn't as fast as you expected. Can you provide more details about the backup speed? Did it improve with subsequent backups, or did it consistently take a while?
2. How is the build quality of the flash drive? Does it feel durable and reliable for everyday use?
I appreciate your insights, and I'm looking forward to hearing more about your experience with it.
You speak so clearly and good tone of voice. So easy to understand. Thank you
I have a question when i want to open the pictures on my laptop there are icons among pictures there that don’t open. What are those? Is it possible these are pictures ? If yes then if i delete pics from my iPhone, i can loose the pictures which i cannot open on my computer
I'm about as technically Inclined as a friggin' CARROT, but your excellent lesson made this really EASY for me. Thank you!
Perfect. My wife and I are going on a trip through Spain/France/Italy in the spring. I was thinking about picking something like this up for the trip. Now I will. Thanks Dave!
oop. hope youre doing fine since the worlds kinda ending.
did you try it out?
Good to learn these informations.
I’m from Brazil 🇧🇷 and just bought it.
Tks
Okay Dave. Details provided. Thanks
Thank you for explaining this 🙏❤️
It's slow on some devices. As it depends on the amount of files that you have. As it has to scan the whole library. Then index them. And as you said. It's looks to see how much power the device is at.. It will work slower as to not deplete your battery. As the last thing you want. Is for the thing to shut down in the middle of a Backup...
Great review David. I was looking for a USB that could back-up our iPhones without the hassle of another software.
Just picked one up. It transferred 64 GB (4500 photos) in about 22 min. Not bad...
So did you turn in “Free up Space”?
I would like to take some personal pictures off my phone. Also will the device ever duplicate a copy ?
How possible
So I watched another review of this product where the guy only demonstrated transferring files when all we really want to know is if our 64 GB iPads can finally play lots of movies from this. Thank you for answering that part.
Wicked.. many thanks and will purchase ASAP as I'm running out of space for my iphone 64gb storage.. :) have a good day
Great YT video, I have the IXpand Flash Drive Luxe, has lightning & USB C connector, Xfer rate for me was really fast.
Great video, thanks so much! I really don‘t mind this takes some time and I don‘t see the point why things have to get faster and faster.
The new luxe version has usb-c as well so it’ll work with my iPad Pro usb-c iPhone 14 pro and future iPhones when they change from the lightning to usb-c like the ipad pros have changed.!!!
Is it possibly super slow because the photos it is backing up aren’t actually ON your device? Rather, they are streaming from iCloud, via your device, to the drive? iCloud is a time-murderer, and it drives me bananas!
WOW ANSWERED EVERYTHING
MUCH better than other brand I bought at first, great video, thanks! Mine was very fast, too, couple of minutes to get all( > 1000) my photos
Very Helpful, thank you for the demonstration and review!
Thank you!
Great video Dave! I have been trying to find a way of playing many of my Bowie, Beatles, Stones and Cure bootleg concerts without having to listen to them through an external drive on my computer. Really appreciate your advice. 👍
You covered everything needed to know. Thank you:)
A fair, candid, and great review of SanDisk iXpand. You can trust the review by Dave Taylor!!! Subscribed! 👍
You're very kind. Thanks, Cathy!
Thank u! I have ancient ipad. Will see if this works
Great review. Clear and helpful!
If only I had found out about this before my old phone stopped working with all my graduation and concert videos :(
Super informative video, I'm gonna try this out because my pc hasn't been letting me transfer photos from my phone.
Ah, that stinks. Do you still have your old phone? Even if the screen is dark it might still be accessible when plugged in. There are a variety of devices on the market for backups now too, and, of course, software programs too. Good luck!
Thank you so much you are the only one that explained it so much
My works pretty fast, but I also have pretty good Wi-Fi
Very well described. Awesome presentation. Cheers!
The otherone before this one is better in quality and look better for me but both are excellent.
I subscribed! Thanks for a very informative video, grateful for your insight, and for you!
very good explanation.
Does iXpand software maintain the _original_ file creation dates - - or write them to the new location using the current date?
yes even i want to know this , i have more than 30,000 photos all are jumbled up now .... cant assemble it date wise
Thanks for this review sir. Nice review!
THANKS
Great vid my guy🔥🤝
Great instructional video. I also bought the iXpand Flash Drive for my IPad Pro but it is painfully slow to transfer large files from the iPad to the flash drive. I wanted to free up some space on my iPad but copying movies or videos is extremely slow and difficult.
Blame apple, lighting is limited to usb 2 speeds
What a great review! Thanks dave
What a lovely explanation and review!
TYSM!!! i ordered and have been confused for Days!!! i thought after backups i had to use the transfer photos to drive too! (i have Thousands!!) 😱.. can U demonstrate how to view files on phone after deleting from phone?
great video. this sounds awesome, I hope it works for tens of thousands of items. I tried using usb cable to mac from iphone, doesn't work, too much data to transfer, so this could be the solution.
My phone is a iPhone 11 and I need a good computer for my iPhone. That was the best one to get.
nice video
Amazing.
Nice explanation!
I have been scratching my head as to why I pay Apple each month for storage (2TB plan) when I only have about 500Gbs in total saved. I did the math and some research and bought this exact product for ~$60. It basically pays for itself in a few months after I cancel the iCloud subscription.
Hey David, great video!! I have a question that would be much appreciated if you were able to help me out. My question is - are you able to select what gets uploaded onto the drive from your iPhone or does it just grab every single bit of data and stores it on there immediately? This is a main concern for me because although I would want everything backed up, because of my occupation I need to only have hi-res videos on the drive in order to free up space on my I phone
Plug it in before you go to sleep
You can save the photo to files app (in iCloud) and then delete the photo in the photos app which it will delete in the photos in iCloud as well, but it will save in files on iCloud Freeing up the phone space but still able to be downloaded from the cloud. Very easy just select photos or videos then click share button, then save to files, then make a folder and save it to files in ICLOUD and youll be good to go!!! Stay safe hope someone figures it out very easy and it works like you think it would have. Just not through a “backup” It’s a different method.
Dave, are you going to talk about how the drive rename your file to some funky naming convention? I find it irritating because I no longer know what files is what. Is there a way to get around this?
Thanks
I should of bought the 256gb don't cheap out like me😔
Excelente reseña, saludos desde México compadre
¡gracias, amigo!
Very informative!! Thanks
tnks👏👏👏
Good review.Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great info
Sorry Sir, why did you need an adaptator ?
Lightning on one end, USB-3.0 on the other. My computer only has USB-C. So to get that to work, I needed an adapter.
Thanks for the review.
I'm at 98% capacity like many people on my iPhone. Will this allow me to move my photos and videos from my phone?
The reason for slow transfer speed is the lightning connector is only rated for usb 2.0 speed!
One thing to maybe look into is that if you copy a folder with other sub folders, photons, files, etc…, directly to the drive from a windows computer, you won’t ever be able to see the folder but you can search for that folders content and sub folder and see them and access them only from the search results. You will never be able to delete them so the space they take up will never be recovered. So be careful with putting folders and files onto this drive from your windows computer. You may permanently use up your drive space.
What ? Are u joking?? Mo! i need a system which has many folders and subfolders otherwise its useless to me. u mean u see the folders / subfolders on your computer but they disappear when u put the drive into your iphone????
9:15 ! SIR GREAT MINDS THINK A LIKE, I HAVE ARGUED WITH APPLE OVER AND OVER ABOUT THAT!
Nice channel. Nicely presented. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank the you for your informative video. I liked the feature description and mention that you can record video straight to the ixpand drive. I watched this because I was looking for a comparison between this drive and the other Sandisk ixpand drive that doesn't have an adapter and looks like a straight stick. I wonder which is older, if there is a different version of USB, if the menu to manage features is the same, and what the switch looking indentation on the side is. There's also a curved designed one that seems to stack the lightning connector on top of the usb connector and I wonder if it is as tedious and uncomfortable as it looks to me?
Very helpful video, fellow David! Few questions. I’m interested in this device solely to transfer music files from my Apple devices, to the flash drive itself. Can such be done? Will it rename the files, or keep the original titles? And lastly, can the flash drive be inserted in to devices such as a home stereo, to play the music? Thank you for your time!
Being able to transfer music onto it is a function of the app that's saved the music. A Spotify offline playlist, for example, is locked up (I believe) so you can't access those files to copy. In terms of plugging it into a stereo, well, if you use the SanDisk backup software it might not be compatible. If you copy files yourself and they're all in .mp3 or .aac (perhaps) format, it should work. Haven't tried what you're suggesting, which is why I can't be definitive with this answer. :-)
How does it works with new apple "file" app?
Far as I can tell, it works in parallel.
Dave Taylor what does that mean?..
Hi thank you for the video as looking to purchase. My iPhone has set my photos to low resolution with iCloud will that still allow me to transfer my photos still on to the drive. Have over 9000 photos.
Yes trying to connect my Apple iPad Pro to a Sandisk iXpand mini drive stick
Not sure why you'd need an adapter, but if you do, then yes, it should work fine with that inline.
You use an adapter in the video,iPhone and iPad connections are different , wasn’t sure if the in line connectors have to be compatible with Sandisk .
INCORRECT.
You can’t plug this into any high-end iPad since 2018, and more recently, ALL newer iPad models, though you can get cheaper USB A > C adapters, but then you might as well just use any USB (no lightning port on ALL NEW iPads.
I think it's pretty obvious that if it's a lightning connector and you have an iPad with USB-C then it's not going to work. But I appreciate your DRAMATIC use of caps.
I lost mine the same day I bought it it was like 40$ and so I just got a new one
I used at ipad air 2 IOS 15 , but can’t recognaze it, how to resolve???
Bottleneck is the apple lightening port. As long as it is a similar speed as syncing with cable to to computer, you are getting the fastest speed the port on your device is capable of. The only faster way is using WiFi… I think. Years later, still simple and lovable. Just slow
Yep. When we switch iPhones to USB-C I am hopeful that slow port gets a 10x speed improvement, or more!
@@AskDaveTaylor I keep hearing iPhone will have a proprietary cable… it will still be a type-c connector but a bus that is basically the same slower lightning speeds
Very good video, SanDisk should pay you.
lol, from your words to their accountant :-)
Yeah… I’m going to get one and I’m certain it’s gonna take me around 24 hours to upload all of my photos and videos 😆
Can I put the pictures back on my iPhone from this saver ?😊
Does it store text messages and files? I cannot find where it states that it does. :)
I haas a 128 and that’s the one I lost so sad but I did get another one
I've heard that the reason why it is so slow is because there's only two iOS devices that have usb 3.0 capability; all Mac models after 2012 and iPad Pro after 2015 have USB 3.0 ports/capability.
The rest of the iOS device line up including recent iPhone models can only use USB 2.0 speeds.
I'm skeptical of that, Lindy, because all of these features are on-chip and if Apple's designing its latest devices, it's harder to get old chips with previous generations of USB than to get the latest gen. Do you have a source for this?
I see that these questions was asked and never answered….
What’s the difference in copying and backing up the photos on the Sandisk?
How do I transfer pics from my Sandisk now to my laptop?
I would encourage you to reach out to Sandisk support for your questions, Emma!
Heads up, if you're trying to transfer videos from your phone to computer with this device, the video may be choppy. I've tried 3 times to transfer videos and each time the replay on my mac is choppy.
Yes I wish it was faster
I notice I don’t get the option to use my 4K when use the camera part of the app
Hi Dave, is this device compatible with windows computer ??
Hello
I have a question
Can I copy a photo from sandisk to iPhone directly?
Not sure if you or anyone else can help me but ... can I upload from this flash drive directly onto my external hard drive without a computer and just a hub port? I'm doing a wilderness hike for 50 days; vlogging the whole thing. I have no access to internet or wifi, and no computer, ipad, or cellular data on my iphone. This device certainly helps get videos off my camera, but I doubt it will hold 50 days worth of vlogging. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated; thanks in advance!!
Hello, when you lost flash drive the folder of privacy access cannot access by others?
It is not an encrypted device, so by default, it would be accessible by others.
Can you transfer the files in Andriod devices ? Or the window desktops ?
Sounds like a good device. Can you delete your Iphone pictures after uploading them to the device? Also can you delete the app and just look at your pictures into another device?
Does it also store the data of where the picture was taken with the location stamp?
That's all the EXIF information and is part of the photo file, so if your camera captures and stores that in the file, yes, it should transfer across intact.
Can you choose 1 video to transfer? That’s all I need right now
I believe so, but you might check with SanDisk customer service to confirm.
I was told by apple that the purpose of iCloud is not for storage but for sharing. I wish I woulda known that 14,000 pictures ago. 😒
That's news to me. If that were the case, why would Apple promote iCloud as a backup solution? Hmm....
@@AskDaveTaylor Exactly what I said! I even spoke to apple again today and they confirmed it again. I had to request for them to download all my pics for me and send them to me so its easy to put onto the drive straight from the email. What a mess. No more icloud for me.
