Universal USB-C MicroSD Reader

The PIODATA iXflash Q mini is a USB 3.2 Gen1 flash drive with an integrated MicroSD card reader. It connects via USB-C to iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, PC and laptop devices. The free iXflash or PioData app handles automatic photo, video and contact backup with iCloud sync on Apple devices. Its case-friendly extended connector works with most phone cases.

Mobile creators and multi-device users

This reader suits anyone who wants to back up media directly to a MicroSD card, record 4K video without filling internal storage, or transfer secure ZIP, RAR and 7Z archives between phones, tablets and computers. It also reads cards from drones, action cams and dash cams. Buyers who need a Lightning connector for older iPhone models should look at a different adapter.

USB 3.2 Gen1 interface

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen1 USB-C interface. It provides the bandwidth for fast file transfers and 4K media playback across the listed platforms. If your device only offers a Lightning port or an older USB-A port without an adapter, this reader cannot connect directly.

Questions about this item

What does USB 3.2 Gen1 mean for real-world transfer speeds with this reader?

The USB 3.2 Gen1 interface supports up to 5 Gbps, so large photo and video batches move noticeably faster than USB 2.0, limited only by the MicroSD card's own rating.

Which USB standard does the iXflash Q mini use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses USB 3.2 Gen1 over USB-C, capping the bus at 5 Gbps; actual throughput depends on the inserted MicroSD card's speed class.

Will the extended USB-C connector fit through my phone case without removing it?

Yes, the extended USB-C connector is designed to work with most phone cases, so you can leave the case on while backing up or recording.
