Best Buy is our go-to store when for electronics, gadgets, and peripherals which are about the only type of product I don’t prefer to shop online for.   I’m like a kid in a candy store at Best Buy.  Not too long ago Madelyn noticed I was stressed asked if I’d like to go to a fun place like Best Buy.    Whether it was because she wanted something from the store or she was really trying to help me didn’t come up because I said yes and we took off.

While we were there, among other fun and shiny gadgets, we saw a section of SanDisk products surrounded by parents with their school-age children. SD Cards, or some type of digital media storage device, are mandatory for most students these days.  My son uses an SD card to store and transfer research papers he writes on a school computer to an iPad to work on at home.

I use SanDisk’s iXpand, to store and move photos from my iPhone to my computer or iPad as well as to anyone else’s computer who might want the photos I’ve taken on my phone.   No more having to text or email 25+ photos!  The SanDisk iXpand is a long overdue, must-have storage and transfer device for iPhone and iPad enthusiasts!

For iPhone, iPad, PC, and Mac: iXpand

For Android Smartphones and Tablets: SanDisk microSD Card

Thin and light computing devices, tablets, and smartphones demand the compact form factors of SanDisk microSD cards.  My son started using a SanDisk microSD card when his tablet began running sluggishly.  He moved all his music and photos off his tablet onto a SanDisk microSD™ after learning that if he offloaded some of the music and photos to a storage device, his tablet would perform better.  His tablet starting running smoother instantly.   SanDisk microSD™ cards give your smartphone or tablet a more responsive camera function and smoother media playback.

If you own an iPhone and iPad you’ll want to buy the SanDisk iXpand and if you own Android devices you’ll want a SanDisk Micro USB/USB 3.0 Flash Drive.   On one end of each of these devices is a lightning adapter or micro USB respectively.  The other end is where the standard USB is which you can insert into any standard USB port resulting in the transfer of photos and other files from device-to-device.
