Geekscape Tech Review: MiLi iData Pro Smart Flash Drive and iDataCable Pro

If you have never heard of MiLi, they put out a lot of intriguing accessories. It seems like they are designed for Apple products, and maybe they were at first. However, it seems like these MiLi products like the iData Pro Smart Flash Drive and iDataCable Pro can do quite a lot for many tablets and smartphones.

The MiLi iData Pro Smart Flash Drive is made for importing photos from a smartphone or tablet. I once tried the non-pro version, and I honestly have to say that I forget how the first iData Flash Drive works. I seem to remember it coming with a Lightning connector and it is just a backup drive for your iPhone/iPad.

The MiLi iData Pro can connect with just about any device, provided it doesn’t have USB C charging, like my HTC 10. So, you got yourself a backup drive for just about any device, and the 16 GB will cost you $69.90 on the MiLi Site. It is available in silver, gold, and rose gold, and it has storage for 32 GB ($99.90), 64 GB ($129.90), 128 GB ($189.90), and 256 GB ($269.90).

The MiLi iDataCable Pro is a charging cable that has a microSD card slot inside it. That really comes in handy for when you want to store some information on a charging cable, which is something that I haven’t really tried to do, honestly.

So yes, it can charge up an iDevice, and you can store data in the card slot. This makes it easy for transfer when you truly want to. You can even use the in-App camera to save photos and other media to the card instead of the iDevice.

Just to let you know, I tried it out, and my computer didn’t recognize the cable without an SDcard inside. After that, file transfer was quite simple.

Just to let you know, it is pretty expensive at $69.99, but that is with 16 GB of storage, on a card. The model that I had to review didn’t come with a card, and I am not certain of the price of that. The price goes up to $99.90 for 32 GB, $129.90 for 64 GB, and $189.90 for 128 GB. Check it out for yourself on the MiLi site.

Also, do you want to hear more about the latest in technology? In early January, there is a big event in Las Vegas known as CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I want to go and report on it, but I need some help. I have a new GoFundMe site that will “Send Mark (me) to CES 2017”. Please click here and make a donation.
