a flash drive that works with lightning
0:02
and USB that's pretty clever Dave Taylor
0:13
here and I want to talk about storage I
0:15
want to talk about cross-platform
0:16
storage specifically which is where this
0:19
comes in this is the I clever 64 gig USB
0:24
3.0 flash drive with dun-dun-dun
0:28
lightning connector so one end has USB
0:32
you spin it around your red use it as a
0:34
USB thumb drive and then you can spin it
0:37
back around and now you're ready to plug
0:39
it into any iOS device that has a
0:41
lightning connector and you might be
0:43
thinking why would I do that
0:45
and the answer is because it's a super
0:47
easy way not just to copy data back and
0:50
forth but it also means that for your
0:52
iPad or your iPhone if you feel like
0:55
you're running out of space or you'd
0:56
really like to have a half dozen movies
0:58
available for that next plane flight you
1:00
don't have to have them on the device
1:01
because it's literally as easy as
1:04
plugging in the flash drive and then it
1:07
actually launches the boost storage app
1:11
that is from I clever and then that
1:13
makes it super easy for you to manage
1:15
everything and what I've been doing is
1:17
I've been using it with my phone so I've
1:20
been taking lots of videos we've been on
1:21
vacation so I've been taking videos with
1:23
my phone I copy them onto here delete
1:26
them from my phone and then I simply
1:30
switch it around plug it in and I'm on
1:34
my Windows or Macintosh system I'm ready
1:37
to go it's super easy it's fast that's
1:39
what I like is it's such an easy way to
1:42
copy huge amounts of data I mean tens of
1:44
gigabytes not something you want to do
1:46
wirelessly and even with a wire it
1:48
generally isn't super fast so doing it
1:50
through the little flash drive is great
1:52
so speaking of speed let's go ahead and
1:55
give it a speed test so come and look on
1:57
the computer okay here's the desktop so
2:00
let's go ahead and drag matter about a
2:02
gigabytes worth of files
2:03
go ahead and put them on to the desktop
2:05
and do that and you can see copying from
2:10
the flash drive to the desktop and this
2:15
it's pretty speedy so this should go
2:18
pretty quick and done now let's go ahead
2:22
and create a new folder we'll call this
2:25
more movies and then I'm going to open
2:28
that folder so this is on the flash
2:30
drive itself and then we'll copy that
2:32
nine hundred megabytes back onto the
2:35
device now what I will say is that
2:37
copying onto a flash drive is always
2:40
slower than reading from a flash drive
2:42
so I am expecting this to take a little
2:45
bit more time but it looks like it's
2:47
under a minute for a gigabyte of data if
2:50
you've ever struggled with copying
2:52
things wirelessly or even just using a
2:55
data sync cable with your iPhone or iPad
2:57
you should be thinking wow a gigabyte in
3:00
under a minute that is not too shabby so
3:03
it's pretty good speed and we're getting
3:06
there come on you can do it the third
3:08
one is going to be super fast with third
3:09
ones really small so there's two and
3:11
there goes the third one and done
3:15
there's a couple of nuances I also want
3:17
to point out one of which is that I
3:19
clever really are a clever bunch because
3:22
the Lightning connector they actually
3:24
extended it out so it works even if your
3:27
phone's in a case or your iPads in a
3:30
case and so you'll notice here is that I
3:33
have a pretty thick case on my iPhone
3:35
and it fits right in it works
3:38
thank you so much there are so many
3:40
devices I've worked with where it's just
3:42
a pain you have to take things out of
3:44
cases to work with that's just bad
3:46
design it's an aluminum assembly so it
3:49
has a nice feel to it and it's running
3:51
USB 3.0 which is supposedly 300 percent
3:55
faster than USB 2 which is good they
3:58
don't however have USB C so on the very
4:02
latest generation of MacBook and MacBook
4:04
Pros you're going to have to find a
4:06
different solution or use an adapter not
4:09
the end of the world but maybe that'll
4:11
be something they'll be coming out with
4:12
soon in any case this little tiny 1.6
4:16
is a really nice little lifesaver now
4:19
before I tell you how much it costs let
4:21
me ask you click the subscribe button
4:23
and join my happy little video watching
4:26
family I know a little weird anyway
4:29
thank you thank you for clicking on that
4:31
and this as I said this is the I clever
4:34
64 gig USB 3.0 flash drive with
4:37
lightning connector and its $49.99 at
4:40
amazon.com so pretty painless investment
4:43
for a whole lot of data storage since
4:46
dave taylor i suggest you check it out
4:48
if you're feeling the crunch and i'll
4:50
catch you in my next video
