Aaron shows you how to back up your SD (Secure Digital) or MicroSD (from GoPro, Osmo, Yi, DJI, drone) or CF (Compact Flash) to an external solid-state drive (SSD) using only an iPhone, USB hub, and a cheap battery pack. This method doesn’t require a laptop, PC, Mac, computer, Macbook, or anything else. You can copy files in the field from your camera to a portable SSD, this case a SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable External SSD.
Assuming you can charge up your phone, cameras, and the portable battery pack, you can keep filming and photographing in the field until you fill up your cards, chips, and the 2TB backup. This is awesome for filmmakers, travelers, photographers, videographers, vloggers, bloggers, creators, and influencers.
This method will also work copying from the USB port of your camera through the hub using the iPhone to the SSD. Just connect your camera, put it into USB mass storage mode, connect it to the hub, and follow the rest of the instructions in the video. The Sandisk SSD is formatted exFAT.
Aaron also talks about the folder delete but doesn’t totally delete bug in iOS13.

@jayratch 3 года назад

The issue is even with all these pieces it's a lot easier to carry in some settings than a laptop. I'm doing a Grand Canyon kayaking trip next month and the iPad Mini is the largest device I can feasibly bring with me; the laptop is too big and too power hungry (electricity). It's three weeks on the river so I really don't want to just rely on not losing or damaging any SD cards. I will be bringing a battery pack anyway to recharge other things so that's not something extra to carry, just the actual adapters and cables. The one saving grace of this setup is that basically all of the involved cables have multiple uses between other cameras and devices that'll be on the trip anyway.

Transfer photos and video on external drive. Had no experience with and you know, days is working to get success because there is the recycle bin, and when connected to Windows 7 the annoying double (white coloured) jpg or other. When clicking to it, any white icon shows same information. At first they where not possible to delete. Have copied the clearly visible maps etc and transfer to other harddisk. The hard disk used was not SSD, it is formatted again to EXFAT. Need to say it wasn’t done with the new UNI HUB. Yours will arrive soon, the second new HUB, the ATOLLA is just now afternoon arrived and directly used. There is a difference into the first HUB ORICO and the ATOLLA. With ORICO was there no power enough and was lightning support needed to recognise the HDD on iPhone. The ATOLLA has more power, there isn’t needed to connect the lightning cable. But after all I connected the lightning also cause it must be better on this way. As is struggling to transfer properly the whole content from iPhone to the HDD, is for sure before deleting the data on iPhone used 3UTOOLS, the downside, 3UTOOLS download really everything and by this almost double via camera roll, compressed photos etc. Normally was the content such as 70 GB and after transfer the photos and video from iPhone to PC via 3UTOOLS was the full content 160 GB, really strange and to know why, very difficult. In case you know, is there an APP on iTunes to find double photo or video? SSD, I think as you have spoken about it will be an better solution to order an SSD hard drive. As I’m on the run for it, I look forward and hope by falling and stand up find best results.

I have 2 ssd and only one from seagate works, the sandisk that you also have doesn't work and don't know why, i don't know if it worths spending more money to get to your setup. In the field the sandisk would be safer than the seagate.

@ALinsdau 4 года назад

I'm definitely more confident with the Sandisk SSD. I've had a few Seagates fail. You have to add power to the hub - that's the key. It worked with a USB HDD just fine, too. It does take some time for the drive to come up sometimes.

@jayratch 3 года назад

@@ALinsdau But even USB 2.0 should be giving much faster speeds than you're reporting. I got the Apple USB adapter today, haven't received the hub you recommended yet but I'm having second thoughts on it. I was able to get much faster copy speeds just connecting the Sandisk to the Apple USB adapter with nothing else in between, but obviously that doesn't help me copy a card. But I was able to copy 150 megabytes in under 5 seconds, and confirmed the speed on a 600MB file in 17 seconds (35 MB/sec). That's quite a bit faster than what you reported. However, I just tried with a cheap old SD card reader I had lying around and it was about half the speed. Based on that, it should take considerably less time to copy the whole card to the iPhone, then from the iPhone to the SSD in two discrete steps, than to copy it directly using the setup you have here - so something is not right. Could also be, though, that the whole process is much faster on an iPhone 12 than on an iPhone XS. Next I will test it on my iPad Mini 5.

@jayratch 3 года назад

23 seconds to copy 300 mb to the iPad Mini 5 with the cheap SD card reader, so the iPad Mini 5 (released last fall) is about 2/3 of the speed of the iPhone 12 Mini with the SD card reader. Gotta do more copy tests to determine my ultimate solution. My iPhone and iPad are both 256 gb, so not really enough to ingest the whole trip worth of videos and photos on the Grand Canyon kayak trip, but it seems like offloading to the SSD should be viable; just not sure how much battery power it'll waste. I'll be replenishing when I can via solar, but power is not unlimited in the backcountry.

@jayratch 3 года назад

I ran some more speed tests copying a folder back and forth off and on the SSD on the iPad Mini 5 and the iPhone 12 Mini. The iPhone is basically twice as fast, accomplishing the copy in as little as 11 seconds (400 megabyte folder) from SSD to iPhone, which took 24 seconds on the iPad, but the copy back to the SSD is less than half that speed, taking 28 seconds. The card reader I have is significantly slower than the SSD for reading. I'm gonna go ahead and get the hub you recommended and test it out in several permutations to see whether the bottleneck you're experiencing has anything to do with the "older" phone, although I doubt it - I suspect it's the combination of multiple devices running over the Lightning port. I think the winning answer is going to be just getting the fastest SD card reader I can get, whether that's the Uni hub or the Apple device, and copying to my phone first and then to the SSD.

@chosenideahandle 4 года назад

Just a PSA. For $55USD you can just buy a RAVPower FileHub. It's an interface between you portable drive and SD card. No adapters, phone or hub required. A lot less money and far more reliable. The RAVPower FileHub is also a battery pack for charging your devices on the road as well as a Wi-Fi router. If you'd like to make certain your files are on your drive you can preview them using the free phone app (Android or iOS).

@ALinsdau 4 года назад

I looked at that device as an option some time ago. The negative user reviews somewhat turned me off, especially the ones that said their SD card was erased. I'll have to take another look.

So it would take 17.78 hours to transfer a 128 GB Micro SD card to the hard drive (128 MB/min)....or almost 9 hours for a 64 GB SC card? Do I have that right?

@jayratch 3 года назад

Any thoughts on why it is so slow even with all high-speed accessories? I found it painfully slow copying from my old Lightning card reader, but testing directly from the Sandisk SSD to my iPhone, it's very fast, about 3 seconds on my test copy of a 160 MB video - which is 20 times faster than the speed you reported in this video. I just ordered the Uni hub you recommended, but I am wondering whether that is actually the fastest product to use or if it may be creating a bottleneck. I wonder, with whatever the botttleneck is that you're experiencing, might it be faster to go from the SD card to the phone first, and then from the phone to the SSD, versus going direct? Could be something about doing simultaneous transfers.

@ALinsdau 3 года назад

The Apple Lightning connector is still an abysmal USB 2.0.

@jayratch 3 года назад

@@ALinsdau not entirely. It appears to give me 3.0 speeds with the 3.0 adapter. I may do my own video going through all the speed tests. I’m waiting for my Sandisk 3.0 card reader to arrive so I can fully test everything.

@jayratch 3 года назад

@@ALinsdau My Sandisk USB 3.0 card reader arrived in today’s mail so I was able to do some additional testing with a 256gb Sandisk Ultra micro SD card and footage from my VIRB 360. In hindsight, I had access to a faster card, and maybe later I’ll test that to verify that the card is the bottleneck. Copying files off and on the card to the phone’s internal storage, and again this is my iPhone 12 Mini, it took as little as 10 seconds to copy a 400 MB file from the SD card to the phone, but four times that long to move it back to the card. A 5.6gb movie took over 7 minutes to copy from the phone to the card and I didn’t test copying the same file back; maybe later, if I decide to do a video on it. Anyway, my ultimate point is that I was able to get upwards of 40 megabytes per second directly from the SD card to my phone - tens of times faster than what you were getting between external devices. I think, ultimately, copying first to the phone and then to the external device, with no hub and only one device connected at a time, is going to end up being much faster than going directly between devices, because of how the iPhone functions when passing data between multiple devices. One other thing to consider is the cables. When I bought the Uni hub and a cable to go with it, I almost didn’t realize the cable I got was only USB 2.0. So that would’ve limited my speeds as well. I don’t know whether I’m really getting USB 3.0 speeds on these devices or not. I can tell you that I’m getting about double the speed on my 2020 iPhone versus my 2019 iPad, using the same adapters, and this USB adapter from Apple is a 3.0 port. I can tell you that things appear to be faster when all the devices and cables I’m using are USB 3.0. It seems writing to the card is definitely bottlenecked by the card’s write speed; reading, I’m not sure I’m hitting peak speeds.

Hi Aaron, I saw this video a while ago , got all the items and it did work exactly like you said for months, but for some odd reason it doesn't detect the SanDisk SSD or any Hard Disk Drive anymore, however it still detects SD cards and USB flash drives. UNI sent me a new hub unit with cable, but still no good. Have you tried your setup lately ? I'm wondering if the lates iPad software update eliminated that capability.

@ALinsdau 4 года назад

So far the setup still works for me. You have to make sure to power the hub and phone separately. This is the number one cause of problems.

I still want to add security or passwords to my items but I’m sure if I can. Thank you again. Jose W.

Solution works and understand video is dated Sept/10/2019 but was looking for a solution to copy a 160GB Card to an external drive like the San Disk Extreme Pro. To transfer 160GB using this method it would take over a day - but it would in theory work. This being said is there another solution using USB 3.1 or maybe another updated Hub? I am certain Aaron that you have upgraded your SD Cards to a larger capacity and was wondering if you have a newer solution that you are now using. My files are 50MB per image (Sony Alpha A1) filling a 160GB card is easy to do in four hours so that is about 3,200 images and as such this method could take a long long time. Is there any newer updates Aaron that you have made and would like to share?

@ALinsdau Год назад

Not at the moment until Apple upgrades its cables. But Apple is committed to wireless so there's not much help on the horizon.

@gphillips2542 Год назад

@@ALinsdau thank you very much for replying. Using your theory this is what I came up with: iPad Mini 6 (I already had) that has the USB-C fast port connected to an Anker 655 Hub that supports an inbound USB-C Power up to 100/w that I can connect to a wall socket using USB-C cable or get a battery like you did. Next I connected to the Anker Hub using their two USB 3.1 ports in-bound ports I connected a Sony cfExpress Card Reader and Samsung T7 2tb SSD. I should note the Card Reader and T7 require power from the wall or a strong enough battery as the iPad will not have enough power. Hooked all this together. Next, I put a full 160GB cfExpress Card (2,800 pictures each averaging 50mb each) into the Sony Reader. After doing this I go to the iPad Files like you showed me and the iPad sees the Sony Reader and the Samsung T7 - sweet. I can now copy from the Sony Reader and paste to the Samsung T7 just like you did. For the full 161GB it took me about 18-minutes. You inspired me sir. I just used newer products to support the ability to transfer large files from the cfExpress Cards but the logic is all yours. I will look for a portable battery as I have a shoot coming up in Florida to take pictures of the Ospreys so I will be in the wild without power. Thanks again!
