256GB dual-connector flash drive

The PIODATA iXflash provides 256GB of storage in a USB 3.2 Gen 1 stick that carries both a Type-A and a Type-C plug. It is built for iPhone, iPad and computer users who need to move photos, videos and files between devices without relying on cloud services. Apple MFi certification guarantees compatibility with iOS and iPadOS devices. The drive also works with Android phones, TVs and car stereos that accept USB mass storage.

Passive thermals and bus power

The drive has no moving parts and draws power directly from the host port, so it generates only modest warmth during sustained transfers. Operation is silent because there are no fans or mechanical components. Power consumption stays within the limits of the USB 3.2 Gen 1 specification, making it suitable for use on laptop ports without extra adapters.

Apple MFi certification decides fit

The single specification that determines whether this is the right part is Apple MFi certification, which allows the drive to communicate directly with iPhone and iPad over the Lightning adapter included in the package. Buyers who need encrypted backups, direct video recording to the drive or metadata-preserving photo transfers on iOS require this certification. Users who only move files between Windows, macOS or Android devices do not need MFi and may prefer a simpler drive.

Questions about this item

How do I install the iXflash app and the step users often miss when plugging the USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A & C drive into an iPhone?

Download the iXflash app from the App Store, attach the USB-C to Lightning adapter to the Type C end, insert it into the iPhone, then open the app and grant photo and file access — the permission prompt is the step most people skip.

What maintenance or replacement will the 256GB iXflash need after extended use?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the drive eventually wears out or is lost, replace it with another MFi-certified 256GB unit.

What limit appears first during sustained video recording straight to the 256GB iXflash?

The 256GB capacity fills first; once full, recording stops until space is freed.
