A two-ended flash drive for iPhones with Lightning. On those phones it works only through SanDisk's app, not Apple's Files app.
We may earn a commission.SanDisk's compatibility page says Lightning drives do not show in Apple's Files app. On a Lightning iPhone the drive works through the SANDISK App, version 3.2 or later, which needs iOS 17 or later. On USB-C iPhones SanDisk lists the drive as working in Apple's Files app. It does not support connection adapters.
SanDisk's data sheet gives no read or write speed. Apple says Lightning iPhones transfer at USB 2 speeds, so the phone limits it to 60MB/s at most in any case.
Built-in flash storage in 64GB, 128GB or 256GB, with no card slot. SanDisk says its app can back up photos and videos automatically and password-protect files.
SanDisk publishes no power draw for this drive.
