  • The SanDisk Connect wifi/USB drives are another option with storage capacities of 32GB, 64GB, 128GB and 265GB. Remember a backup strategy is to not just have one, but multiple copies of important photos and documents! In other words, buy two, back up twice. 
  • SanDisk iXpand Drive Go has a Lightning connector and a USB connector. Capacities come in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB.  If your next iPhone has a USB-C connector, then look at SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Luxe USB-C flash drive.
