I am considering purchasing a USB-C (3.1,gen2, 10 mbs) external SSD drive to store my Mac Photos library. In anticipation of upgrading my iPad in the next year or so, I am seeking a good drive that will work with both my Macbook Pro and an iPad. Since USB-C (3.1, gen 2) has now been added to the iPads (along with iPad 13.x), it is now open to attach peripherals like an external drive.
My problem is that, at least two manufactures of high performing USB-C external drives (LaCie and Sandisk) have told me that their drives have not been tested and therefor are not supported for attachment to mobile devices like the iPad. This seems crazy, as I'm sure that more than a few would like to switch back and forth between their Mac and their iPad.
Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a USB-C (3.1,gen2) external SSD that is made to work with Mac OS AND iPadOS?
Thanks.
