WiFi Wireless SD Card Reader-USB External HDD


Soon I will be traveling with an iPad, Android Galaxy S4, GoPRO Hero2, Canon Rebel T4i, and a 2TB Passort USB HD.

I need a way to move files from the sd cards to the USB HD and also to view them.

This item seems real cool but there are others of course.
Anyone have one? Any brand/model recommendations? What about FTP file apps? Any you like best?

I have a 16GB iPad.
Not gonna cut it.

I am looking to store them on my USB HD:

Might be an issue with the iPad since it's NFTS format however the apps for these wireless units may handle this issue.. I don't know yet.

I take the sd card out of my camera, plug it into my tablet and then copy them to an external USB drive. I do the same with downloaded content. You may want to check if this adapter allows access to both simultaneously.

My tablet is also DLNA compliant which means that I can also stream content to a ROKU Sony netbox (like a ROKU) connected to my TV. I didn't even know that it worked like that. I was browsing through the menu on the netbox and saw my computer listed. I looked inside and all the compatable media files were there available for viewing on my TV.

And to top it all off, I'm doing it with a 5 yr old tablet pc running Vista. If I were you, I would ditch the ipad and buy a more modern version of the Fujitsu Stylistic that I have. You can get a Q702 with a i3 processor and 4 gb ram with a 64gb ssd(upgradeable) for around $400. They fujitsu would integrate all your devices even your phone if it has bluetooth. A dock/keyboard is also optional. The dock has an additional battery that doubles run time. New these run around $1600 for a complete system.
