No matter which storage capacity you choose for your iPhone, I bet from time to time you'll
0:07
see this. Well what if you could add storage to your iPhone without using the cloud or upgrading
0:12
your phone? This is the JetDrive Go 500 from Transcend. It's essentially a memory stick that you can use for both your iPhone and your Mac or PC
0:21
It comes in 3 storage sizes, the 128GB I have here, as well as 32GB and 64GB variants
0:29
As well as adding extra storage to your iPhone or iPad, the JetDrive can also back up and
0:33
move photos and videos between the drive and your device. In the box there's a handy keyring fob to make sure it's not too easy to lose, a spare
0:40
plastic cap to cover the USB end of the drive which is super nice, I'm sure that's something
0:44
I'll end up losing and finally the usual warranty info and quick start guides
0:48
The JetDrive itself is super small, coming in at just under 37mm long and 14mm wide
0:55
Once I plugged in the JetDrive for the first time, I was prompted to download the JetDrive Go app, a free companion app which makes it super easy to manage all of the data that's
1:02
on the drive. Within the app, there's also a backup feature, so you can back up all of your pictures, videos
1:07
and contacts and even any files stored on the cloud. Which is perfect if you're travelling somewhere where getting a signal or wifi is an issue
1:14
I've personally used the JetDrive for storing films on whilst travelling. It's the perfect solution for throwing on a ton of films that haven't been purchased
1:21
on iTunes and then watching on a plane or while abroad. It's also great for transferring files from your phone to a desktop back and forth thanks
1:28
to the dual connectors, especially if it's a PC as it reads Microsoft Office files and PDFs
1:33
The final reason I think this should be on your lust list is if you're conscious of safety
1:37
With the JetDrive Go app, it's super easy to add a 4 digit password or protect it using
1:41
Touch ID. Let me know in the comments if the JetDrive Go has fought its way onto your lust list
