Kingston’s Wi-Drive is a new portable (and affordable) storage and sharing solution for iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. The Wi-Drive is roughly the size of an iPhone and comes in 16GB and 32GB storage capacities. It creates a small Wi-Fi network that you can access through their free Wi-Drive app (opens iTunes Store), allowing you to view and share anything that you have stored on your iOS device.
The app also has a built-in media player that streams the music, movies and more that you have stored, so you don’t have to worry that it will take up valuable storage space on the device itself. It supports a wide variety of video, audio and file formats as well.
My one complaint about the app is the fact that you can’t load content to the Wi-Drive from your iOS device directly. All content needs to be loaded via USB from a computer and then streamed to your device. For now, that works well enough for me, but I would like to see that functionality added in the future.
Overall, it’s an ideal solution for people like me who like to have access to all of my media, but have limited available storage on my iPhone. It’s way more affordable to just buy one of these when you need extra space than to upgrade your whole device. I would highly recommend this for any heavy iOS user.
