Today only, Amazon is discounting a bunch of SanDisk storage products.
Engadget giveaway: win an iPad Air 2 and iXpand drive courtesy of SanDisk!
Let's face it, devices offer more storage space than ever, but our expectations (and file sizes) are growing too. If you'd like to free up some room and quickly transfer files between iDevices running iOS 7.1 or greater, SanDisk's new iXpand could be a welcome addition to your arsenal. This flash drive has USB and Lightning connectors for high-speed data transfers, and with its companion app, you can even watch AVI and WMV clips on your iPhone or iPad without conversion. The company has provided us with a 32GB iXpand for one lucky Engadget reader this week, and they'll also get a new iPad Air 2 to round out the deal. All you need to do is head down to the Rafflecopter widget below for up to three chances at winning this spacious tablet and flash drive combo. Winner: congratulations to Thomas N. (New Port Richey, FL).
SanDisk's newest iOS storage drive comes with Lightning, too
As great as it was that Apple eliminated the 32GB iPhone in favor of a 64GB model, those whose budget could only stretch to the 16GB model are still in need of more storage. There's plenty of wireless flash drives knocking around, but SanDisk feels that its latest iXpand Flash Drive still has something new to bring to the party. Tailored for gear running iOS 7 and 8, the drive either connects via the built-in lightning cable, pushing photos and videos between the two with ease. A companion app will even let you stream AVI and WMV clips on your iPhone or iPad without having to convert it beforehand. The 16GB base model is available for $59.99, the 32GB is a Best Buy exclusive and is priced at $79.99 and the 64GB-er requires $119.99 of your Earth dollars.
