I am sure this topic as come up over the years and continues to come up. I have an iPad Mini 2 with 16gb storage. I am looking to add external storage to watch movies, listen to music, or watch music videos. I am not looking for Photo storage or copy any documents to it. Basically, it will be used for media. Since I will be using Wifi, I would like to be able to carry my iPad plus external storage around with me and use it when I need to.

We all know there is a lot of external storage devices on the market today. You have Mophie Space Pack, Sandisk iXpand, Leef iBridge, etc.. Also, you have the wireless hard drives. I have looked at some reviews on Macworld UK and other sites.

I want something reliable and not too bulky that I can plug in and start watching a movie or listen to music. I was thinking maybe the Mophie Space Pack because it serves as dual purpose, battery backup and external storage. I have read some mixed reviews on this item. I am not sure with Mophie. Also, I was thinking either the Leef iBridge or Sandisk iXpand or something similar to those items.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be helpful
