I’m sceptical… is it possible?

Yes, you can transfer files using a USB Storage device - although depending upon iPad model, you may require an appropriate adapter.
If your iPad has a Lightning connector, you will require an Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter:

Don’t be fooled by the name; this adapter allows you to connect many different USB devices, including USB storage to your iPad.
USB storage must be pre-formatted as FAT, FAT32, exFAT (i.e., FAT64) or APFS. Proprietary Microsoft formats, such as NTFS, are not supported.

Any model of iPad running iPadOS13 or later can utilise external USB storage.
Be aware that you should always keep your iPad updated to the most recent version of iOS/iPadOS that your device will support - as updates contain both functional and critical system security updates. The most recent version, at time of writing, is iPadOS 15.5.
Ah great…… so my next question is …..which iPad models will it work on… I have an iPad mini 4.. it works well so not inclined to change / upgrade it …..
