Tapping on this circle opens a manager for the files and folders on the external drive. The main screen of this application has a large circle to graphically display how much space remains on the i-FlashDrive MAX, with the exact percentage remaining also displayed.

After the software already installed, the user is asked if they would like this app to open whenever the drive is inserted.

The first time the i-FlashDrive MAX is plugged into the iPad the user is prompted to download this app. Windows and OS X have their own file managers, but iOS doesn’t make one available to users, so PhotoFast had to develop its own, called i-FlashDrive ONE. This will offer slower transfer speeds, but we were unable to test this product. This company also makes a USB 2.0 version of the i-FlashDrive MAX.

In our tests, we were able to read a 200 MB file nearly instantly, and write one back in under 12 seconds It supports USB 3.0, and PhotoFast promises that is capable of reading data at up to 90 MB/s and writing it at up to 22 MB/s. It appears as a removable drive in file managers, and items can be deleted, copied, moved around. When plugged into a PC or Mac, this accessory functions just like any other flash drive. The i-FlashDrive MAX performs in different ways depending on whether it’s acting as a USB drive in a PC or as a Lightning drive in an iPad. Presumably, the designers did it this way because the USB jack doesn’t really need much protection, but the Lightning jack is much more fragile. This means this cover isn’t in the way, but can’t be lost as it always stays connected to the flash drive.

There is a removable clear plastic cover for the full size USB jack, but the designers went for a more advanced solution to protect the Lightning jack: a clear plastic cover is pulled out and then pivots to one side.
