SanDisk has relaunched the iXpand Flash Drive, the mobile storage device designed to help people transfer data from an iPhone or iPad while on the go. The device is available with a storage capacity of up to 128GB. The iXpand Flash Drive features a new, modern design that fits with most iPhone and iPad cases, a USB 3.0 connector for faster transfer speeds to Mac or PCs, and a completely redesigned app to easily manage photos, videos and music.

According to a recent consumer survey on the ‘Storage Consumption needs of the Indian consumer’ conducted by AMI for SanDisk India, many iPhone users are looking to free up more space on their phones.

“People are using their mobile phones to capture tons of photos and videos, and about 70% of iPhone users in India run out of memory every week and end up deleting files,”

said Rajesh Gupta, Country Manager – India & SAARC, SanDisk Corporation.

“Our line of mobile storage offerings can immediately help them free up space. With the new iXpand Flash Drive, people can spend more time using their iPhone to capture what they love, and less time worrying about how and where to transfer these photos and videos,”

he further added.

The iXpand Flash Drive allows users to automatically back up their camera roll and contacts, and watch popular video formats straight from the drive. The new drive also includes encryption software that password-protects files, allowing people to share their content while keeping sensitive files secure across devices.

The product features a redesigned app, the iXpand Drive app, which offers new features and an improved user experience. Giving users the option to save space instantly, the app now has a camera function so users can shoot and save photos or videos directly to the drive instead of on their iPhone or iPad. The app also allows users to automatically back up content from popular social networking sites, as well as play back music within the app.
