Manufacturer description

The Maxone 256GB flash drive is a 2-in-1 dual drive with a USB Type-C connector. You can move files between Android phones, tablets, MacBooks, Chromebooks such as the Pixel, and desktop PCs without a cable. When your phone fills up with photos and videos, plug the drive in and offload them directly over OTG (On-The-Go). You don't need to install an app or any software, so the drive works as soon as your device recognizes it. The drive is rated USB 3.1 Gen 1 with transfer speeds of up to 150MB/s. That is fast enough to copy a large photo library or a batch of HD clips in minutes, not hours…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Maxone Flash Drive USB Type C Both 3.1 Tech using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the accessories category. Maxone's accessories lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for accessories of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this Maxone flash drive work with my Android phone?

Yes, if your phone has a USB Type-C port and supports OTG (On-The-Go). Plug it in and transfer files directly without installing an app.

How fast is the Maxone 256GB USB-C flash drive?
