    Much thanks Freeley.. i did have the hub that i tried but didn't work cos i didn't have a power bank to power it up, then my Sandisk unlocker messed up my SSD.. then i plugged in the SSD then SD card didn't work, but SD card first then SSD worked on my Samsung S24.. not sure why but what the hey, its all working great now, able to copy files from SD to SSD. i looked all over and most recommend the Ravpower or Gnarbox, but this is better for me.. awesome.. much thanks, very much appreciated.

    I don't think I heard the mention of OTG, but since the hub in question is out of stock, alternatives will need to support USB On The Go (OTG).

    • @freeleymedia

      thanks for clarifying! I'll add that to the description

    I have found a hub that you can insert an m.2 SSD in , I think that may be able to simplify a lot the setup because you could then only with the hub only copy files from the SD to the M.2 SSD inside the Hub

      I've been looking at this solution. but instead would be using a cfast card reader (I am concerned it will be too much power for a phone). when using a hub that you can insert an m.2 SSD in (I was looking at Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter with SSD Enclosure). how many additional devices can you connect before it's too much power for the phone?
      edit: planning to use this solution to offload canon c200 raw files (can easily be 2tb or more)

    UPDATE 2022:
    The CHEAPEST Gnarbox solution (for Android & Samsung Users) is to simply plug the Card Reader into your smartphone and drag & drop the files. This works extremely well, especially if your smartphone STILL HAS 👉EXPANDABLE EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD👈 options.
    Sidenote: Please stop rewarding these Smartphone manufactures with your hard-earned money, for new devices that LOCK you out of ACTUAL "PRO FEATURES"...but still want to use the phrase "PRO" to market their devices. 🙏

    Thanks so much for the video. Everything went well. One problem I use Olympus cameras and the file format in my WD storage is not recognized in Lightroom. If I take the SD card out of the transfer set up and go into my computer it reads the sd card just fine. So any Ideas about this problem?

    • @freeleymedia
      @freeleymedia  2 роки тому

      It MIGHT be because your WD storage isn't formatted to something that Lightroom can recognize. When you put your SD card in, it reads that fine so that tells me it's probably the WD storage.

    I already asked the question if it would be possible to use my phone instead of a laptop. But people in the shop weren't very helpful.
    You explained how to put my theory into practice. I spent less than 100 euro's now and saved mayby 400 or 500 Euro's!
    Again, thanks a lot!

  • @FrankieTheOne
    @FrankieTheOne 3 роки тому +1

    Great idea. 3 questions? How long would 128GB take to transfer to SSD and does the cable that you connect to the phone. Does it charge it while it transfers?? Also does the SSD type determine the transfer speed? For example newer ssds have faster transfer speeds

    • @freeleymedia
      @freeleymedia  3 роки тому

      1st Q: Depends on the transfer speeds of the SD card and the SSD
      2nd Q: No, it doesn't charge while connected. When the backup battery is connected to the dongle it powers the hard drive you connect.
      3rd Q: Yes, depending on the SSD you get, it will have faster or slower read/write speeds. This one has a good combination of read/write speed and ruggedness for on-the-go: amzn.to/2RTAvVB

    Do you know if the new hub you have listed (the Anker) will still pass power through to the Ext HDD if you don't have a battery bank that is USB PD? I have an older batter bank and don't want to buy a new one yet... Great video, wish I had seen it in time to get the hub you originally recommended!

    Does the model with 3 Usb Slots and 1 HDMI slot work as well for this? Because its 15 bucks cheaper so i would tend to buy this, if this works as well

    • @freeleymedia

      If it has a slot for an SD or microSD, then go for it.

    Call me naive, but why don't you just use a SD to USB C adaptor, then plug that straight into your phone and upload to a cloud?

    • @freeleymedia
      @freeleymedia  3 роки тому +2

      I see where you're coming from but for me and I'm sure with many other ppl they prefer to save their photos or files on an external HD they own. In addition to that since my use case for this setup is more for travel and in those situations idk where or when ill have a reliable internet connection to upload to a cloud storage, this is a great option to at least be able to back up my files directly to a HD and not risk losing my files. I hope that makes sense!
