One of the biggest concerns that users of an iPad have is storage, and that for several generations, iPads start with very small storage capacities, specifically, 64 GB. For this reason, and since the iPad is a device for professionals, we want to recommend two solutions so that you have infinite storage capacity on your iPad, regardless of the version you have.
Use the best SSD hard drive for iPad
There are many very interesting offers and alternatives for external SSDs for your iPad, although those from the SanDisk brand are one of the best options along with those offered by Apple on its official website. Regarding its construction materials, this SanDisk SSD is made of forged aluminum that acts as a heat sink to offer higher constant speeds in a portable memory. In addition, it has protection from falls up to two meters, resistance to water and dust of IP55 degree.
We can find this SSD disk in different versions, although the most interesting is the one that offers us the greatest capacity because we seek to have unlimited storage. Therefore, the version that we recommend is the one with a data transfer speed of 2000 MB/s, having capacities of 1 and 2 TB and four TB. We also find a slightly smaller version, which is 1050 MB/s, which also has very interesting reading speeds and with half the storage of the commented versions.
Finally, it is important to remember that iPads with USB-C are the following:
- iPad Pro 2018 and later
- iPad Air (4th gen.) and later
- iPad mini (6th gen.)
- 10th generation iPad, although data transfer is reduced.
Use iCloud subscription plans
All Apple users know iCloud, Apple’s cloud service that is available to all users of the bitten apple and that starts with five GB of free storage. Therefore, the normal thing is that if you use the iPad as the main device, it is that you run out of storage in a short time, so the option of having all your files in the cloud without taking up space is a very interesting option. Apple, in its iCloud plan, offers four alternatives:
- Free plan: 0 euros/month. 5GB.
- iCloud+ with 50 GB of storage: 50 GB: 0.99 euros/month
- iCloud+ with 200 GB of free storage: 200 GB: 2.99 euros
- iCloud + with 2 TB of free storage: 14.99 euros
If you want a large amount of storage, the first two options are not worth it, so it is best to choose the last two plans. Both plans are adapted for those users who seek to have practically unlimited storage, and who wish to store documents, photos or videos for both family and work use. With this storage, you will be able to access all the content you have in the iCloud cloud from anywhere without having to carry peripherals that take up space and that can break over time.
Leave us in the comments what storage you have on your iPad and how you value the possibility of applying the mentioned options to obtain infinite storage.
