Loving the SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive

Have you ever got into the situation when you are so excited about taking some photos at an event or at an interesting venue just to find that your smartphone memory is full? That can be a very frustrating right? I know, because it had happened to me myself several times, as I myself am an avid photographer and love taking pictures all the time....And we miss out the chance because some moments are just that fleeting and happen just at that exact moment...

It is said that nowadays mobile users are taking more photos and videos on their phones than ever before – making them a primary means of capturing memorable moments in their daily lives. According to IDC, about 71% of all images today are captured on mobile devices. and this becomes troublesome as well when  it comes to trying to transfer content between devices for safe storage or to free up space on their phones for more photos, videos, and other files.  

*pulling at hair* (from all these frustrating scenarios)




When SanDisk asked me if I wanted to review their iXpand Flash Drive (and also keep it ) I was really jumping up and down like a monkey because I was excited.... ok, ok, maybe too much exaggeration, but seriously, I was delighted...

Let's check it out....... To be exactly honest, when I first saw the Flash Drive I thought it looked big....well, please don't blame me because we have seen many smaller thumb drives etc....however, it was slim and easy to hold.
