u/mdaffin · 280 pointsr/raspberry_pi

BIOS and now UEFI are a bit of firmware designed to make it easy and convenient to boot typical computers with possibly removable storage on a vast array of different hardware and to be able to toggle and change different settings. They are both quite large and require an extra dedicated chip on the board which costs a small amount and takes up valuable real estate on the board (and larger boards cost more).

BIOS or UEFI firmware is required by x86/64 systems as the CPU is not able to bootstrap itself and so requires an external chip to do so.

The ARM chip in the PI however has its own internal firmware that bootstraps the CPU and rest of the system with out the need for an extra chip. This firmware is programmable but there is limited space for complex firmware like traditional BIOS and UEFI firmware. As such they tend to use simpler firmware that can boot from a single device in a set way with no way to configure this after boot most of the time. The pi chose to load from an SD card instead on some ROM chip on board to make it easy to install to and backup images on the device and be able to swap out the os by simply changing the SD card. It also moves the storage off the device reducing its stand along cost as you have to buy the storage separately.

Sd cards where likely chosen as they are cheaper the HDD or SSD which are far to large for a position typical use case, require more power and are much more bulky. Though I don't know their actual reasoning.

On the pi 3 they added experimental support for booting from a USB device which you have to enable explicitly (and cannot disable). This is a new addition to the onboard firmware and was likely harder to write and fit inside CPU which is likely another reason they started with SD cards.

> I always lose that micro-to-full sized SD adapter too

If your laptop has a full sized SD card slot then just store the adaptor in there when not in use. Otherwise you can tape/bluetack it to your positive case or just store it inside the case or even on your PC/monitor.

You can also get SD card to usb adaptor like this and attach it to your keychain.

u/Unique_username1 · 120 pointsr/buildapc

This drawer for your USB drives, adapters, memory cards, etc. Looks silly and has crappy build quality, but it's damn convenient.

There are also card readers for your unused 3.5" or 5.25" bays I own that specific one, and there's not much to say about it. It's functional so if you need one, it'll be worthwhile. I will note I had to open that one and cut out the power LED because it was so blindingly bright and unnecessary (it's built into my computer-- once I've tested it once I can assume it's turned on whenever my computer is turned on). But that was an easy fix and besides, $7 card reader, do you expect perfection?

u/MoogleMan3 · 85 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Great deal!

Another fantastic deal is the 200GB for $34.99. It's a good day to grab either.

And FYI, as soon as you get any microsd card, run it through h2testw to see if it's legit (if it's sold and shipped by amazon it most likely is the real deal), and then crystaldiskmark to test the speed. Make sure to use a usb 3.0 port and card reader.

u/TheDerpySpoon · 66 pointsr/buildapc

Personally I have one of these and its pretty damn awesome.

u/Beaun · 28 pointsr/gaming

This is my parts list from Amazon, I just googled Retro Pi installation guide and used one of the top results;

CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3

Samsung 32GB EVO (storage is entirely based on your budget and how much space you think you will need)

Raspberry Pi Case (lots of options)

Wired Controller (lots of options)

Card Reader (If your PC doesn't have one already)

Add in an HDMI cable if you don't have an extra laying around.

u/danhm · 19 pointsr/kodi

Raspberry Pi 2 Model B

Supports CEC. Comes with 4x USB 2.0 slots, an HDMI, quad core ARM A7 processor, 1 GB RAM, and an ethernet port. Also has GPIO pins but I don't know of any Kodi related uses for them. It is an extremely low power device (uses about $3 worth of electricity per year) and requires nothing to keep it cool (e.g., no fans blaring in the middle of your favorite movie).

Base cost is $35. Requires a microSD card, an HDMI cable, and a microUSB charger, all of which can be purchased for approximately $5 each. An existing microUSB charger, such as from your cell phone or a device like a Kindle or Chromecast can be used, of course. Optional components include a case ($10-$20 or 3D print your own), USB wifi dongle ($10+), and an external hard drive ($50+). A few companies put out bundles that include a Raspberry Pi board and various components such as this basic one and this more complete one. A wireless keyboard ($20+) can also be handy. Product links are provided as examples; there may be better deals or smarter purchases to be had.

You'll then want to use a minimalistic Linux distro such as OpenELEC or OSMC, both of which are designed specifically to run Kodi and have optimized builds for a Raspberry Pi. OpenELEC seems to be more popular and is what I use myself. Installation is easy -- you just download and write to your SD card (oh yeah, you might need an SD card reader, $5). If you'd like you can also install a "real" Linux distro and install Kodi in that as you would on a regular desktop computer. You can either store your media on an external hard drive connected to the Raspberry Pi or on a separate computer or NAS and share your files over your LAN.

Pros:

  • Cheap base cost
  • Low power
  • Very hands off after initial setup
  • CEC! Use your TV remote to control Kodi
  • Hardware decoding for h264
  • As it is full-fledged computer you can easily add in additional software such as emulators, a web browser, etc.
  • More of a DIY solution (may be a con)

    Cons:

  • A few plugins (typically they are Windows dependent) and more computationally intensive skins may not work
  • May get pricey if you need to buy all the separate components
  • Can not handle 10-bit x264 (aka Hi10p; rare outside of anime fansubs) or HEVC (aka h265) files.
  • No 4K output, max resolution is 1920x1200
  • More of a DIY solution (may be a pro)
u/brandude87 · 16 pointsr/teslamotors

I used to have the same USB drive as you, and it also gave me the same error message. Unfortunately, USB drives aren't really meant for constant re-writing, and wear out pretty quickly. What you need is a high endurance microSD card and USB adapter. The "high endurance" cards are designed specifically for dashcams and are made to handle constant re-writing. After upgrading to the high endurance card, I have perfect quality videos with no more error messages.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible to format drives from an iPad or iPhone. I use GUIFormat on Windows to format drives to FAT32.

u/skitch920 · 14 pointsr/gaming

You need:

  • A RaspberryPi - newer versions have a better CPU (but you can get a Zero for $5). If you want to play N64, go with a newer Raspberry Model B.
  • A +5.1V micro USB power supply (for RetroPie, a 2.5A one works well)
  • A USB Keyboard
  • An HDMI cable
  • A gaming controller of your choosing (USB cord if you can/otherwise bluetooth)
  • An SD card - these can come pre-loaded if you shop around

    Optional:

  • A nice case (according to OP's friend, Legos).
  • SD Card Reader/Writer (if you didn't buy an SD card preloaded; some laptops have them)
  • A bluetooth dongle (for PS3/PS4/XBox/XBoxOne/etc.)
  • A wifi dongle (if you don't want a hard wired connection)

    Download RetroPie

    Follow video here:

    https://retropie.org.uk/documentation/installing-retropie/

    Might I add, you can setup SSH on the retropie, so you can connect to the machine and upload ROMs without having to use a USB keyboard. Google for old ROMs, I've used LoveROMs in the past.

    Total build time ~1-2 hours. Total cost $30 - $65.
u/MoltenSlowa · 14 pointsr/buildapc

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, but an internal or external SD/MicroSD card reader (Sabrent 74-in-1 3.5" Internal Flash Media Card Reader/Writer with USB Port, Black (CR-USNT) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GAKX34E/) is great. Even having a small USB card reader always plugged in and easily accessible is good.

u/pinchies · 13 pointsr/CrappyDesign

Check the item page. It’s definitely an SD card and not a compactflash.

u/viral_dna · 12 pointsr/classicmods

This is actually something I began last year and have only really posted a few teasers here and there. Well now that I've finally had time to clean it up and go back and add in the original cable I figured I'd share it with you all.

This "Stealth SD Mod" as I'm calling it, uses a MicroSD card and reader, however, you could just as easily use a small USB thumb drive in place of the MicroSD card and reader.

The way the stock USB cable connects to the inside of the controller actually presented itself as quite a problem, and not wanting to cut the cable, or destructively dremel away any of the controller (mainly due to my OCD) only made things harder. Fortunately, I was able to find a solution. Once assembled, this non destructive mod is Plug & Play.

This is actually an early prototype of something a little more advanced I'm working on.

Parts Required


  • Question: Does the controller have to be connected to Port 2?

    Answer:
    >Currently yes it must be connected to Port 2 (Player 2). The reason for this is when connected to Port 1 the system doesn't recognize the controller. This is something I think we can fix in a future update.


  • Question: Does the controller still function as a controller?

    Answer:
    >Yes, absolutely. Keep in mind however that the draw does exceed the allowed amount, so the USB Current Limit Mod is still required.


  • Question: What about USB Brown-outs?

    Answer:
    >While the power draw on this is incredibly low you'll still need to perform the USB Current Limit Mod in order to use this (Or use a hub, but that sort of defeats the purpose).


  • Question: Can you still use port 2 for other things like USB Thumb-drives, hubs etc?

    Answer:
    >Yes, absolutely.


  • Question: Can I bring my modded controller to a friends and play on their system with it?

    Answer:
    >Only if they have a powered USB hub or have performed the USB Current Limit Mod


  • Question: Does it throw off the balance of the controller at all?

    Answer:
    >The difference in weight is negligible (Stock 130g vs modded 136g).
u/Abbazaba35 · 11 pointsr/buildapc

Anyone use this Rosewell SD Card Reader/USB hub thingyamajig? I've often thought about purchasing one....

u/WompWomp187 · 9 pointsr/3DS

get one of these plug it into your computer copy your content from SD card to your desktop. Put the microSD card in the reader and copy the content from your desktop to the microSD card.

u/thibit · 8 pointsr/gadgets

A better reader in terms of being small would be this one.

u/Snoot_Boopins · 8 pointsr/octoprint

That kit is overkill if you are just running Octoprint and don't want a case. All the Pi needs is a power supply cable (for power, obvs), an sd card (which operates like the Pi's internal storage like an HDD/SDD in a standard computer), and a USB cable to connect to your 3d printer. This is assuming it is a Pi model that has a wifi antenna built in (all models after the Pi 3 B+ have this standard) otherwise you will need a wifi adapter or an ethernet cable to connect to your access point.

Outside of the Pi itself, you will need an sd card reader to flash Octoprint to the sd card.

​

Hope this helps!

u/jbigboote · 8 pointsr/3DS

whatever it takes. some computers have an SD card reader built-in. if yours does not, USB card readers are very inexpensive and widely available.

u/Photographer_Rob · 8 pointsr/photography

There is this option if you want a portable battery pack as well.

u/horse_and_buggy · 8 pointsr/Android

$30

  • the same storage I would have put into the Saygus + 64gb Nexus 6P for cheaper than a vaporware phone by a no-name company.
u/bertrum2k · 8 pointsr/PlaystationClassic

This. A lot of people use:
Inateck Micro USB Card Reader... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Has the added benefit of a microSD reader which allows you to put all your games onto a card and frees up your jump drive for kernel updates when the time comes (instead of backing up and formatting every kernel update). Personally ordered this when I reached Psycho Mantis and it worked like a charm, makes the setup look cleaner too. Honestly didn't know about the statue thing haha

u/chip16 · 8 pointsr/Nexus6P

Personally, I got and prefer this, since it lets me plug into a computer and read the microsd card from there as well.

Also, the added benefit of not having to worry about losing the microsd card!

u/rhymes_with_chicken · 7 pointsr/whatstheword

micro sd to sd adapter

Or micro sd to USB adapter, you weren't terribly specific about how you plug it in to your computer.

u/SK360 · 7 pointsr/TeslaLounge

Using a SanDisk High Endurance 128GB card and this adapter.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XTQZS4F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_v7MPDbT1QWD0R

It’s really the best option, all other card readers are huge and bulky

u/[deleted] · 7 pointsr/apple

I've been using this plus a 64GB micro SD card. A bit slower, but I like the storage flexibility, and it's perfect for my iTunes library.

u/ghst343 · 7 pointsr/technology

I got you fam. I followed Nintendo’s support documentation on this (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27595/~/how-to-transfer-data-between-microsd-cards-for-use-on-nintendo-switch). I was moving around 40GB from my old 64GB to my new 256GB card. To do this I needed to buy a usb reader alongside my microSD card (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009D79VH4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MCeDCbV3G5PM2) so that I could actually access and move the data around. Some computers might have this slot already. I ended up using the SD adapter that came with the microSD card as well bc I felt weird shoving in the delicate micro card directly.

The whole process Nintendo listed out actually took quite a while - maybe like 4 hours tbh. The part that took the longest was a full OverWrite to reformat my new microSD card using their recommended 3rd party application (https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/).

After everything was done, the data on the new card worked seamlessly. It was fairly simple, just slow! I’ve heard some people skip the reformat and have had success. I was too nervous to do that.

Feel free to DM me if you get stuck - I did this just two days ago so it’s top of mind.

u/burfdl · 6 pointsr/BuyItForLife

If you look inside a rectangular USB key/port, you'll see four gold or silver stripes. Thats where the data/power goes, and the only parts that need to touch for a USB device to work. The metal 'box' around them is just to make it easier for us clumsy humans to plug in properly. You can actually get USB keys that have no box, like these micro-sd card ones that just wedge themselves between the 'tongue' of the usb port and the outer edge: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0028R3NCU/ref=psdc_430545031_t3_B001U7R1CM (not a BIFL recommendation btw; they're cute but break easily).
So, the box can be made of thick, strong metal in stead of very-conductive-but-pretty-weak metal, and survive for a long time.

u/SelectaRx · 6 pointsr/pcmasterrace
u/Koofteh · 6 pointsr/TeslaModel3

Is that your delivery appointment?

I didn't have any 'introduction' appointment, just picked up my AWD from the dump warehouse on Powell Street. I've heard of people waiting literally all day to pick up their car at that location so my only advice would be to have nothing else planned. 😁

Also bring something for TeslaCam, you never know when an accident can happen. I was hit soon after getting my car and my dashcam stuff was still in the mail. I recommend a high-endurance microSD with a good quality card reader for long term reliability but for now you can just use any USB flash drive you hand handy.

u/PlatypusW · 6 pointsr/jailbreak

Ok so this is the amazon hub I have

http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-4-Port-USB-2-0-Ultra-Mini/dp/B003M0NURK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407942392&sr=8-1&keywords=amazon+basic+usb+hub

Apple decided to put a software power limit to the USB CCK (Camera Connection Kit) a few years ago. The hardware is capable of outputting 100ma, but Apple limited it to 20ma. The trick works by making it think that there are 4 ports instead of one, meaning the iPad gives the hub 80ma, and then the hub can give 80ma to the usb stick. I believe that is how it works anyway.

Might I ask where you will be getting the usb sticks from? Will they be given to you (in lectures or from friends etc), or is it so you can plug in a usb stick back and forth from a computer? The reason I ask, is if it is for your use, I have found that the SD card CCK is much better for this. The SD card reader has no power limit, so no hub is required and it works for any card (formatted in FAT32/HFS+) - so 128gb cards work, and most likely 256gb cards when they become reasonably priced :P. Its a lot less messy (only one cable sticking out), and for the times when I want to plug it into a computer with no SD card slot, I can use a USB 3 to SD card reader;

Something like this (I'm in the UK so not sure of the best US equivalents)
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Information-Card-Reader-TS-RDF5K/dp/B009D79VH4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407942666&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+3+sd+card+reader

In terms of speed its the same as USB 2, and when it comes to mounting them in iFile its exactly the same as USB CCK. And I think the same price for the SD kit over USB and SD card prices are the same as USB sticks too.

Let me know whether that sounds better or if you still require USB. It really just depends on how often you are going to be doing it, I certainly wouldn't want to take out the hub in the middle of lecture or something - would kind of defeat the purpose of the mini :P.

u/NHarvey3DK · 6 pointsr/M43

I'm sooooo happy with my G85. I've taken it around the world. Here's a list of things I've been keeping track of:

Microphones:

Get the Videomic Pro+. The differences are that the mic turns on/off automatically and it has a usb rechargeable battery.

Having to carry extra batteries are dumb. Especially when they're not rechargeable. Also, you WILL forget to turn the mic on, then your whole shot is ruined because NO SOUND will be recorded. Trust me.
You probably noticed that you can't look in the viewfinder because of the videomic. This Movo 4" bar will fix that.


Batteries:


Speaking of extra batteries, you're going to want more. There are two types: cheap non-decoded, cheap decoded, and OEM.

Non-decoded means you won't know how much battery you have left in the camera. Obviously that's dumb. Spend a little more and get decoded. I really like these OAproda 2 pack + charger. No battery lasts as long as the OEM, but it's close enough. Plus, the OAproda charger is much thinner than the others and charges via USB.

SD Cards:

I love these SanDisk Extreme Pro. I purchased the 128gb because I NEVER want to be in a position that I can ever possibly run out of space.

You'll want a way to copy the files to your pc. This Transcend USB 3.0 works amazingly, and it's $9 for a two pack.

Lens:

The kit lens is pretty damn good. But here are the lenses that you'll see people talk about all the time. Depending how new you are in photography/videography, you should know this: we have a crop sensor. It's not the end of the world. A majority of the people don't mind it. But when you're looking at lens sizes, you need to double the number in order to compare it with full frame camera's. But again, not a big deal.

Panasonic 25mm f1.7 - compared to the "nifty fifty" on a full frame (25mm*2=50mm). This lens works aaaaaaamazing in low light / day light / etc. But to get an idea of how 'zoomed in' it is, take your kit lens and rotate it to "25mm". That's how this lens is. Nevertheless, still such an awesome lens.

Panasonic 45-150mm f4.0-5.6 - I just bought this lens from Amazon Warehouse for $100. It's very well built and serves it's purpose (when I want to zoom in on something far away)

Rokinon 12mm f2.0 - Everyone loves this lens, but keep in mind that it does not have autofocus. Is it the worst thing in the world? No. But it's the only drawback so it's worth mentioning. I was doing some night time time lapses last night and man, this sucker was beautiful. It's WIDER than any other lens, so you'll capture more of the image but it DOES NOT have a fisheye effect (which is awesome).

DSLR Video Shooter's G85 guide was wellllll worth the $20. Most of it was pretty elementary, but I did learn so much more and started using about 90% of what he spoke about. Brilliant.

u/lveets · 6 pointsr/miniSNESmods

There are two ways:

  1. USB Host, which requires an OTG device and a USB drive.
  2. echo's super storage mod.

    I just use USB Host, although I recommend against the OTG devices they have in that tutorial. I currently use this one by Inateck and recently switched from a 32 GB USB drive to a 256 GB mini SD card. A word of warning about the Inateck adapter: you have to use its power cord instead of the USB cord that comes with the mini, and it's significantly shorter.
u/traveler19395 · 6 pointsr/Dashcam

Your dashcam may have an app that allows you to download the card with a wifi connection. Alternatively, you can use [this] along with the microSD to SD adapter that comes with most microSD cards.

u/jcpb · 6 pointsr/UsbCHardware

This is what I use with my 12" MacBook. Nevertheless, I only have one device, an external SSD, that needs to be on USB-C due to power requirements.

If you want a USB-C hub with no USB-A ports, I'm afraid that's not happening any time soon.

u/Magefish6000 · 5 pointsr/3DS

I'm not sure honestly, I've never had a computer that hasn't had an SD card reader.

The one concern I would have with doing that would be when you put the new blank card in the system if the 3DS will try to set it up and then maybe it wouldn't work. I have no idea though.

Honestly I wouldn't put my saved game data at risk, especially if you have Pokémon, Animal Crossing or Tomodachi life since those save files are finicky.

You can buy an external SD card reader for about $6 from Amazon: Here's one of many

u/Emerald_Flame · 5 pointsr/buildapc

You'll want a pretty sizeable SSD for offloading pictures quickly as well as their in-use storage while editing.

You'll probably also want to set them up with a pretty sizeable hard drive because professional grade photos eat up space quick. I'd also highly recommend setting up a RAID1 for them to protect them in case of hardware failure and minimize downtime for them. Along with that, make sure they have serious backup plan in place, and if they don't make arrangements for them whether that be an external drive, or something like CrashPlan if they have fast internet.

Processor requirements typically aren't too crazy for doing standard photo adjustments (color balancing, etc), they'd likely be fine with and i5 or R5 and higher, but if they are trying to batch convert a bunch of photos between file formats often (like they shoot in raw, but deliver finals in JPG), a faster processor will help with that significantly.

RAM requirements are typically more dependent on the user's workflow. A single picture open to edit doesn't take much. But I've seen some photographers that open one picture, edit it, then move to the next, and I've seen others that have 100s of pictures open at once and are constantly flipping back and forth. That second user needs a lot more ram then the first.

Biggest consideration will be the monitor, you'll want something with decent color, probably an IPS panel, and if you can afford something professional grade that come factory calibrated, or you can add a colorimeter to the build, that'd be a solid choice.

Also consider including a high quality USB 3 card reader like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VAGX6MW It significantly helps speed up the offload of their data from their camera to the computer.

u/kampung_boy · 5 pointsr/TeslaModel3

If you have USB flash drive that is constantly being written to that flash drive eventually is going to fail. Writing, writing a lot (which dashcams do) is exactly what wears flash drives out.

Instead, a longer lasting way to record dashcam and sentry video is to use endurance micro sd cards paired with a USB reader. The Samsung endurance micro SD card linked below is good for 17,520 hours of recording.

Put it inside a decent USB micro SD reader and you have a fairly reliable solution.

It has two USB C ports. One for charging and the other for connectivity. I use the second one with the USB C to 3.5mm adapter from Apple. Everything works great in this hub

u/rnelsonee · 5 pointsr/technology

They already are in some cases. I just expanded the storage on my Raspberry Pi media server on Monday, and rather than buy an SSD which would need its own power, and then going through a powered USB hub, I just bought a microSD card with a very small SD->USB reader which sits in there permanently, and therefore tripled my available storage space. So my Pi stays nice and compact and needs no extra power.

u/4SkinJerky · 5 pointsr/bmpcc

I've been using this one, transfer speeds of 130MB/s

u/CaptainIncredible · 5 pointsr/Surface

Heh. Well, despite your snarky comment, I've decided to provide a suggestion. Perhaps this might be a bit more useful.

A super simple search at Amazon revealed a highly rated Best Seller product that reads SD cards and hooks to a USB port. It's $6.99 with free shipping.

Its also small, like pack of gum small, so I'd imagine you could carry it in a pocket.

So, I'd imagine that would solve your issue.

You could have replaced that $15 spent on a keyboard & USB Drive with a $10 wifi adapter, then just SSH'd into the box and done everything that way from your PC, and then used SFTP or SCP to transfer ROM's to the Pi, or just when SSH'ed into the pi do

u/Reeces_Pieces · 4 pointsr/cemu

Moving the saves over is pretty easy. You'll need to softmod your WiiU. It's only temporary and very easy to do. You just need an SD Card 32GB or less and a USB to SD Card adapter.


If you have games that you want play online, I'd also recommend dumping: your files needed for online, mii heads, and friends list app while you're at it.

Here's a video guide for that.



Now after having watched that video you should know what I'm talking about going forward:


You just need to open the homebrew launcher with the browser exploit and then launch 'Mocha CFW'. Then you'll be back at the homebrew menu. Now, launch 'SaveMii Mod' and then you can use that to dump all your savedata to the SD Card. Then you can plug the SD Card into your PC with a USB to SD Card Adapter and move the files into Cemu.


Here's a video showing how to use SaveMii Mod (start from 2:03).

Just remember to launch 'Mocha CFW' before launching 'SaveMii Mod'.
___


Then (obviously) you need to dump your game(s) from your WiiU to get them on your PC.

You can dump them with FTPiiu everywhere.

The 00050000 folder stores installed games.
The 0005000E folder stores installed updates.
The 0005000C folder stores installed DLC.




If it's a disc game, then you'll need to use DDD. Here's a video guide showing how to use it. Select the disc option.


But you'll still need to dump the DLC and updates with FTPiiu everywhere.

It's those generic octopus adapters. I have had 3 in total and they all just quit working but still able to power on the device. It's bad solder jobs on the boards or just cheap boards altogether, or both. I ordered one of these and not had 1 single problem for almost a year now!

u/Threnulak · 4 pointsr/DataHoarder

No problem. Here's a rundown of the fastest cards, but you're going to pay a price in size for those speeds.

Honestly, though, I've never needed anything super fast. I don't shoot HD video directly to my SD card, I don't run apps from my SD card, and I don't move large blocks of data around all that often (and when I do, I use a USB 3.0 adapter).

EDIT: Here are some more benchmarks that better show the differences between the different kinds of speeds.

I love a challenge like this - tight budget but packed with things we want.


We have the latest Ryzen 3600, 16GB of 3000 MHz RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, 8 GB graphics and a powerful wifi adapter all packed in a discreet case. However, I added a separate SD card reader off Amazon (rather cheap too) in lieu of looking for cases that had inbuilt SD card readers.

Tell me what you think!

u/DrinkinMcGee · 3 pointsr/dji

No, it isn't, and here's why:

This is $6, weighs less than a gram, has no moving parts to break and is smaller than a stick of gum. Much like the HDD shown, it too requires a laptop or desktop to be useful. This is handy.

This is $179, which is more than the DJI unit, but it has a built in card reader AND a battery so you can use it in the field AND wifi so you don't even need to dig out a cable when you get home. That is handy.

If you want a 2tb external drive, here ya go - It's $70 (almost half off the DJI price), save yourself some time and just write DJI on with a sharpie.

u/teropaananen · 3 pointsr/raspberry_pi

The only potential difficulty is if your Windows computer doesn't have a card reader. In that case, just buy a cheap card reader (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-Hi-Speed-Reader-FCR-HS4/dp/B00VAGX6MW) or leech off a friend who does.

Etcher (from http://etcher.io) is the best image flashing app on Windows. Super simple to use.

u/notaneggspert · 3 pointsr/canon

This is the updated version of the black kingston reader linked by /u/windupbird. I have both they both work great but the white version seats SD cards deeper in the reader protecting them better.

The Black Version is more expensive simply because it's no longer in production. Get the white one.

I have had no problems with corrupt files using a Micro SD card (64, 128, or 256gb) in Fat32 format. You may need special software to format a drive over 32gb in Fat32. I then place that into a USB 3.0 SD card dongle that is super small with Amazon link below. I plan on moving over to a Pi Zero and re-using the SD card when I do.

Would this USB/MicroSD reader work for what you’re suggesting?

u/BlakDrgn · 3 pointsr/Dashcam

word of advice. If the built in dashcam is cyclic recording to that usb, you should probably opt for a high endurance SD card and an adapter.

If it only dumps a file to it when you hit save, USB stick would be fine.

Look on the stick and see if theres a folder with a bunch of video files that you didnt save, and/or if the stick is constantly full when you plug it into your computer. If its full, its cyclic recording, and will wear out quickly.

I feel like if I'm going to carry a USB thumb drive that I need it to also be a Micro-SD card reader (so I can use it in my phone/camera in a pinch or when necessary) so I keep this one hidden inside this thing on my keychain.

I often grab video while on vacation using an OTG like this and a small card reader like this, once I have the files on my phone (Note 3) I use AndroVid Pro. I think it is the best combination of function and usability, I feel like I have tried just about every possibility. I have had it crash a few time when putting a lot of clips together at once (10+) but I use it all the time and love it. I made this little clip while sitting on a beach in D.R.

u/camwow13 · 3 pointsr/DataHoarder

True, if you want to spend the money an m.2 drive can have huge capacity in a space around the size of a stick of gum.


Otherwise literally any 512gb stick of memory will achieve 4mb/s read/write. If space is your ultimate concern, get a microSD and an ultra compact USB reader. I've seen readers that store the microSD inside the port itself.

Examples: elago Mobile Nano II USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader -Works up to 32GB- (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002HGFKR8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Mf7SDbZNNMDGV

Doesn't reach your storage capacity but this would work too for being compact: Samsung MUF-256AB/AM FIT Plus 256GB - 300MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D7Q41PM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hh7SDb5RB1WB2

u/iamkoalafied · 3 pointsr/3DS

No problem! Just in case you don't know, you will need to use your computer to transfer data from your old sd card to your new sd card. If you don't have an sd card slot on your computer, you will need to buy an external one to do the transfer. They are pretty cheap. This is the one I got but there are a lot of others, just make sure it accepts regularly sized sd cards and not just micro sd card.

u/HobGadlingson · 3 pointsr/photography

That sounds like a hardware problem to me. What are using to upload the images? What kind of computer are you using to edit the images? Are you copying images to a local drive? Or are you copying the images to an external drive?


I also have an a7iii. For me, I take the card out of the camera, and I put it into one of these. 70 or 80 RAW images usually takes two or three minutes to copy over. I am copying from a USB 3.0 reader through a USB 3.0 port to an external USB 3.0 drive.

You could try making sure that you’re not shooting uncompressed. But I really like shooting uncompressed, so I wouldn’t recommend that. Keep in mind that the image files from our cameras are huge. So if you are using an older computer and USB 1 or USB 2, it would be normal for it to take a while. Also, I don’t use Lightroom, so I can’t comment on its efficiency. I copied my images into file folders, and then I use adobe camera to process them. It works really well.

u/HappyPollen · 3 pointsr/smashbros

This is the SD card + reader I picked up when it was on sale for the holidays. If you're just looking for a reader, this one seems to be the most recommended. Or if you have a decent electronics store nearby like Fry's or BB, you can compare with them.

u/KeyboardGunner · 3 pointsr/galaxynote4

That's a great card, very fast. I'm going to get its slower brother the Evo. You should know that if you are transfering from Phone to Computer you will be doing so using USB 2.0 which effectively maxes out at 35MB/s. Better to get a USB 3.0 card reader for the quickest transfer times.

u/solid7 · 3 pointsr/hardware

I have one of these. It's a fairly awesome usb 3.0 sd card reader. Without doing any significant in-depth analysis, I notice that I generally offload my full memory cards in about 13 minutes.

If my math is right, that would be an average sustained transfer speed of 84.02MiB/s to my hard drives. So, unless you are using the faster cards, you probably won't notice much of a difference. For $9 shipped (amazon prime), why the hell not :p. That device has my recommendation.

u/sploittastic · 3 pointsr/raspberry_pi

I've had really good luck with the Vilros starter kits off of amazon. They give you a good combination of stuff cheaper than the parts on their own. This is the last one I got:

https://www.amazon.com/Vilros-Raspberry-Complete-Starter-Black/dp/B00MV6TAJI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481083146&sr=8-2&keywords=vilros+pi+kit

Comes with a power adapter and SD card. It also comes with an HDMI cable to hook it to a TV. Since it's a Pi 3 (the latest model), it has wifi built in. As long as he has a usb keyboard he can use, this kit should be pretty much everything he needs to get up and running.

You might want to make sure his computer has an SD card slot (like you use to get pictures of of camera memory cards) to download and load the operating system onto the SD card. Most laptops have one, look for a little slot that says "SD". If not, get him a cheap USB one like this:

OP- if you don't have a microSD slot on your PC or phone, or you just don't want to stuff about copying files via your phone, get yourself something like this. I have that exact one, works a treat. You can no doubt find them cheaper on ebay but beware of dodgy knockoffs that will likely have slower transfer speeds.

u/myownfunusername · 3 pointsr/photography

I'm going on a cruise in May and would like a way to backup my pictures and to edit on the fly, preferably with my tablet. My camera doesn't have Wi-Fi capabilities, but even if it did the Wi-Fi on a cruise ship is so amazingly slow (think dial up speeds lol). I know I may need two different things to do both of these. Any suggestions?
Right now, I'd like to look into a cord to transfer to my tablet, can I edit raw on an app on an Android tablet (Lightroom?).


I'm also looking at an external hard drive for the main backup, do they make ones that hook up to the camera (sl1) or that accept sd cards?


I don't want to spend too much, but I'll probably have $100-200 or a smidge more if necessary.
Any suggestions would be great!


Edit: For anyone who's interested, I did end up getting a card reader and I had an OTG cable that was recommended to me previously to connect my camera to my phone so I could do a time-lapse (I should have realized it would have worked fine, but I had tried my dad's cable that looked exactly the same before that and it didn't work for what I wanted it to). So, it worked perfectly! Nothing else needed and I can transfer pics from my SD card to my phone/tablet. I'm still looking into an external drive or something for storage, but as long as they're on the SD and tablet I feel a lot more comfortable. Thanks everyone for your help!

ProTip: Get yourself one of these. Sure it's not nearly as convenient as having a built in SD card slot but this way if you need a large amount of storage for taking videos or pictures that makes for a decent substitute for the cloud. Plus it carries two cards.

u/wheetus · 3 pointsr/tablets

If you're so inclined, you can get the 16gb Nexus 7 2013 right now on Groupon for $150. At that price, it would be tough to beat. If you're concerned about running out of space, you can get a micro-usb sd card adaptor that plugs into the bottom. Definitely not as ideal as a native SD card slot but it'll do in a pinch.

Some people say that the ASUS ME572C is the 2014 version of the nexus 7. It has a significantly faster processor and an SD card slot but it is missing features like MLH->HDML & Qi charging. You'll have to decide whether those features are worth the price difference.

  1. SDCard reader/writer - In order to write OS images onto the SDcard you'll need a writer on a PC to copy any software onto the SDcard before moving it to the Pi to boot.
  2. USB Power supply - The Pi Zero has low demands on power (random USB chargers may work) but it's a good idea to get a good power supply.
  3. USB OTG adapter - The Pi0 only has one micro-USB port (the other one is power in only). If you want to plug a normal USB device in you'll need an adapter.
  4. USB Hub - Since the Pi0 only has one USB port you'll need a USB 2.0 hub to plug in multiple USB devices, such as a keyboard, mouse and USB network dongle. If you plan on plugging in USB devices that need more power (like external USB harddrives) then you should get a powered USB hub.
  5. USB Network Adapter - Speaking of which, if you want Internet on the Pi0 you'll need a USB Wifi adapter or a 100M Ethernet USB adapter.


    Or alternatively, you could use the Pi Zero's OTG Ethernet Gadget capabilities to connect your Pi0 directly to a PC/Mac using only a single USB cable: https://gist.github.com/gbaman/975e2db164b3ca2b51ae11e45e8fd40a
u/KazakiLion · 2 pointsr/PlaystationClassic

Interesting project idea! I’m not sure you could get it down to that size without a custom PCB, but it’s definitely within the realm of possibility. You’d need a USB-A Out Breakout Board, a USB-A In Breakout Board, a small Micro SD Card Reader, a small USB Hub PCB, and a 3D printer. If you stuck to using breakout boards, you could still probably get something close to the size of an original PlayStation memory card.

u/electron_reaper · 2 pointsr/AskElectronics

They do make these tiny slimline microsd readers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028R3NCU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

That can be shoved into a standard otg cable without much at all sticking out (its about the length of a microsd card plus half and 3x as thick). You could then just put this thing and an incredibly tiny regular otg cable on a keychain and not need to do a custom cable at all or even a USB cable with a microsd jack on the other end.

u/Friend_Of_Mr_Cairo · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

A few things to look into:

Your SD card only needs the boot and root partitions. The other partitions from NOOBS are not necessary, so they can go. The boot will be FAT and the root ext4, typically.

To decrease the size of the ext4 FS, you can look into the resize2fs command and the -M option. This will allow you to shrink the filesystem to the minimum (decreases imaging copy times). Then you can use fdisk to manipulate the partitions.

When re-expanding the FS, you can use fdisk to resize the partitions, then reboot the system. After reboot, use resize2fs to expand the filesystem to fill the partition.

Personally, if you're novice, I'd recommend using gparted GUI utility. I would start with a separate Raspbian image on a 3rd card in the RPi 2.0. Install gparted (and any dependencies). Then place the "master" image in a USB to MicroSD adapter and insert into the RPi USB. Use gparted to analyze and understand the existing partitions. Once you understand what the partitions are, you can resize the partitions and filesystems from gparted. After resizing, you can insert the new SD card into a second USB adapter. You can then recreate and copy the partitions from one card to the other.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

u/ThreeDigitIQ · 2 pointsr/technology

Nothing scientific, but I have had issues with write speeds and very 'hot to touch' drives. Now, before buying a new drive, I check the Amazon reviews. There is almost always a comment discussion about the perceived heat. In this case, my son yelped when his arm touched my sandisk. I went looking specifically for "cooler" usb 3.0 drives with a very small profile. I was lucky and found a review on amazon of someone else that compared heat for the SanDisk Ultra Fit CZ43 32GB USB 3.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive Up To 130MB/s Read- SDCZ43-032G-G46. It is important to note that I use the smallest profile drive I can find. That does not give much room for heat transfer. So, my heat issues could likely just be related to personal preference to slim form factor.

You can buy an adapter that fits flush in the sd slot with a micro sdhc or get a usb microsdhc reader.

If you're running an OS not available on NOOBS how did you flash it on the card in the first place. The OS listed on NOOBS are listed here:

http://www.raspberrypi.org/introducing-noobs/

but to flash an OS on an SD card you need an OS to do it on. I guess that theoretically you could have an OS load fully in memory while it's flashing a card but you'd still need to store the image of the new OS somewhere.
I think it's probably a lot less headaches if it's even possible to do to just order this:

http://www.amazon.com/IOGEAR-MicroSD-Reader-Writer-GFR204SD/dp/B0046TJG1U/

EDIT: As noted below it is possible in some case but it's very important to realize exactly what you're getting left with. This is a BARE BONE Raspbian setup. Also since we don't know what OS you're running it might not be an option for you.

Parts List - There is a decent list in brewpi docs as well but I will list what I bought below as well. BrewPi Doc's Build Planning

What I purchased:


Arduni Uno - RevC

RaspPi Model B

4GB SD Card
and SD Card Reader

2 Solid State Relays

LCD Module

BrewPi Arduino Shield You can buy this assembled for 10 more Euros. I chose to solder it myself.

2 DS18B20 Single Line Temp Sensors

Some kind of case to hold it all. BrewPi makes their own but I chose to hack up a cash box for all the electronics.

This does not include the things needed for the chamber (cooling and heating elements), the rectangular wall socket to hook up to the relays, wiring, etc. Amazon also may not be the lowest price for everything either so shop around.

u/Dhylan · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

Get one of these or one of these or these.

Put your backup microSD in it, insert it into a USB port on your RPi. As root from a terminal window, type

dd_rescue -f /dev/sda /dev/sdb
You'll have an exact copy (and you'll be wishing there was a USB 3.0 port on your RPi.)

u/gauthamscity · 2 pointsr/photography

If you're able to see the card while the camera is plugged in, sure, I don't see why a function of the camera would be bad.

However, I would invest in a sd card reader. A decent USB 3.0 card reader is ~$10. Not sure what your budget looks like, but it would be a great investment. Transfer speeds are generally much faster.

I might get in trouble for posting this, but here is an example card reader [I HAVE NO AFFILIATION IS AMAZON OR THIS SELLER] : https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1502369838&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+3+sd+card+reader

Start a little SBC (single board computer) project. For a server with only 1 HDD/SSD then an Odroid HC2 is pretty sweet.

I believe that you'll need a card to run the OS off of, so could buy here or off of Amazon and you'll probably need a USB to plug that into to load the OS (unless you already have one). Not sure what size Micro-SD card would be best, so you'll have to research.

u/random12356622 · 2 pointsr/Dashcam

Most dash cams won't have a USB Flash drive for memory, but will more likely have a Micro SD card, that can be put in a USB memory card reader. Example

  • A118C ($50-$60 USD) - Where to purchase + Known Problems of A118C - Similar problems to A119, similar average build quality, similar parking mode (lackluster), fair/good video quality.

  • Xiaomi Yi ($45 USD) - Known Problems Excellent video quality Day/night/shadow - Ultra wide lens fish eyes. No parking mode. Heat tolerance problems. Build quality average/poor.

    > At the same time I'm also on a budget, something less than $50.

    Of the two I would pick the A118C, but if you increase your budget to 90-100 USD many more options open up. You could also pick the G1W-C(B) but built quality complaints, and strange occurances, and annoying bugs, build up on that one. Also Xiaomi Yi heat tolerance and build quality often leads to RMAs and failure.

    ---

    A note for Micro SD Cards: Sandisk Ultra is not made for Dashcams.

    What is recommended for dash cams: Lexxar 300, 633x, or Transcend High Endurance or any MLC card.

    For more on this issue:

  • What Micro-SD Should I Buy for my Dash Cam?

  • Dash Cam 101

  • and the best resource: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/mlc-microsd-cards.10294/

    Anyways if you are still reading this I suggest fully researching a dash cam b4 purchasing, and it's competitors. Many purchase based off of price, but there are much better dash cams with very slight difference in price. Also many underestimate the value of an Excellent parking mode, Excellent build quality, and dual cams.

    Lackluster = not automatic, no built in low voltage cut off feature, not buffered. Motion sensors aren't all created equal, video quality is nice, but fair works, also an excellent parking mode can't be replaced, neither can excellent build quality.

    Many complain about Fair video quality:

  • Thinkware F50 1-CH ($69.99 USD) - Fair video quality, Excellent build quality, Excellent parking mode. - Lacks a Wifi/cell phone app, but format free technology helps and reliability is top notch. ($69.99 USD) - 2nd vendor. ($90-110 USD) - 3rd vendor. - There is a coupon code for this one in the video description.

    The level of expectation for all dash cams should be: Read the plate out loud, and record via audio. By footage is nice to have, but should not be expected. Even Excellent video quality might miss the plate, especially at speed, and at night. Also pen/paper write down the plate #, and call the police with telling them the number.

All together that comes to $75 and will play games from the Atari, NES, SNES, Master System, Genesis, Gameboy etc. If you buy that SD card then I have an 8Gb image file already put together for it with over 4000 games that I could put up for you to download, you then just write it to the SD card, pop it in the Pi and plug it in, it will auto boot to a nice menu controlled by the control pad, select your game and play, then just press "Start + Select" to go back to the menu to select another game/system. It's very easy to use as all the hard work of aquiring the games and artwork has already been done.

You can get the more powerful Pi 2 or 3 and a bigger MicroSD to have more roms but that pushes the price up and will need more work to setup.

I have aspergers and my wife is type one so I understand some of the difficulties your son faces, I hope you can use this to help make him happy. My sister has an autistic son also and I put together one of these and he loves it, she got him to write a one sentence review and score out of 10 for each game. It became something they could do together and talk about, and also helped to convince him to do things liek help with cleaning his room etc so that he could do "one more review before bed" as she thinks it important to always push him that little bit to give him the best chances later on in life.

Anyway, here is a video showing the system in use so you can see what you think:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDWebx6D2Zc

Also with the addition of another SD card, usb keyboard and mouse and it also works as a computer with web browsing and programming tools for kids (Scratch).

Hope this helps, let us know if you want the 8Gb SD card image uploaded for you to download (not to be re-distributed though)

It depends what you need. I initially thought 32 GBs on my Nexus 5 wouldn't be enough, but once I chose to download my ~1000 or more songs on Spotify in normal quality instead of 320kbps, I now have tons of free space. Your usage may be different, but depending on what you use it for, a Nexus 5 may be the better option...and if it is, you should get it instead.

  2. Android L is coming.
  3. It's downright gorgeous. (get it in red)

Taken from the linked comments:

> Another fantastic deal is the 200GB for $34.99. It's a good day to grab either.

> And FYI, as soon as you get any microsd card, run it through h2testw to see if it's legit (if it's sold and shipped by amazon it most likely is the real deal), and then crystaldiskmark to test the speed. Make sure to use a usb 3.0 port and card reader.

u/Syphor · 2 pointsr/techsupport

In that case, probably as /u/kwong83 suggested, the lock sensor on your laptop's reader (is this an internal one, or an external USB reader?) is damaged. Fixing that depends massively on what model you have, and it may just be easier/cheaper to purchase a USB SD/MicroSD reader. I mean, there's stuff like https://www.amazon.com/Transcend-microSDHC-Reader-TS-RDF5K-Black/dp/B009D79VH4/ which are about $10.

Disclaimer - I don't own that reader. I've been looking at getting one similar though, it came up quickly in a search for examples, and I've used Transcend memory cards without any trouble. YMMV, though.

u/Alien1979Fan · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Just a note, that is very expensive. Idk about integrated solutions like the one mentioned above, and whether it's competitively priced, but you could put together a CD player, USB hub, and SD reader for much less money. And if you stacked them together, maybe taped them together or put them in a 3D printed enclosure, it wouldn't look much worse.

CD player: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1N83ZR7447

USB hub: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GGYU8TC/ref=twister_B00FB50S0Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The above costs under $100 (around 1/3 cheaper), plus the individual components have good reviews, and the USB hub is much higher quality.

u/freakingwilly · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I use this Sentey USB 3.0 hub and charger, but it's no longer available on Amazon. This Aukey USB 3.0 hub comes very close. Both are powered, so you should have no issue with multiple devices being connected.

The Transcend USB 3.0 card reader is one of the best and fastest on the market. I use it and high recommend it. Be warned, large writes can get the cards a bit toasty.

u/Dismer · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Sorry, can't seem to find more info on their card readers.
But did see some other people having the same problems solved with USB card readers.

You can try to borrow one from someone or buy one to test the card and make sure that it isn't the limiting factor.

Mac user here, I am going to be ordering a GoPro Hero 4 Silver in a couple weeks. While I am unsure of your Mac specs, I do know that my Macbook Air (2014) has a dedicated SD Card slot. I would recommend taking your SD card out of your GoPro and try to upload the photos/video directly from the SD card.

If your Mac does not have a dedicated SD Card reader, Amazon has the USB SD card readers pretty cheap.

Hope this helps.

u/barnes80 · 2 pointsr/raspberry_pi

Great post OP, thank you very much. I started progress on my magic mirror following these instructions and wanted to post my experience so far.

Already had:

  • Rasberry Pi A+
  • Old monitor, stripped from casing to reduce size.
  • VGA to HDMI converter cable to allow using my monitor with pi.
  • Micro Usb cable for power & ac adapter.
  • USB Wifi stick ( Mine worked perfectly with raspbian jessie without any additional work) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833704140&cm_re=wifi_usb-_-33-704-140-_-Product

    Things I needed to purchase:

  • 16 gb Micro SD card (It was practically the same price as 8gb) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010Q57SEE?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
  • USB Hub. I accidentally purchased this one thinking it was powered. Luckily I was able to power the keyboard, mouse, and wifi without an issue. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003M0NURK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

  • USB card reader (since my computer doesn't have one) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009D79VH4?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00


    Issues Encountered:

  • WiFi wouldn't work: Turned out I plugged it in while pi was already running. Spent a lot of time trying to debug before realizing that I just needed to restart. My wifi dongle (linked above) was able to work immediately without any additional work.

  • Calendar not loading: In calendar.php I left the "$_GET" portion when putting my google url in. Line should just be:

    $url = 'YOUR_URL'

  • Screen won't rotate: I changed to all lowercase display_rotate=1 and cleaned up some white space and screen rotate worked properly. Not sure what the problem was exactly but working now.

    I will probably be removing the news and compliments because I am using a smaller screen and want to leave more open space.

    I also am looking for a solution to showing events from multiple calendars. I keep my google calendars separated by type, like bills, appointments, etc. These are kept on separate calendars so I can filter which is viewed. But I'd like to consolidate this data on the mirror, or rotate between calendars. May modify the source myself if nothing already exists.

    But to get everything running on the pi took about 2hrs including resolving my issues. Building the frame will probably take longer as my wood working skills are pretty sub par.
u/BobThePCRigBuilder · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Here's a build which includes a card reader.

Do note the case have a special 3.5" slot on the front so you can mount the card reader. So if you want to another case, you may have to change to another card reader.

I've been thinking of a summer trip like this. I have both a Hero 3+ Black and a Hero 4 Black. Alas, I will only use one of them for my trip (probably the H3+).

My recommendation would be to buy 2x/3x GoPro Hero ($130). Have them strapped to you, your handlebar and maybe one close to the road just behind your front tire. If everyone in your riding crew has a GoPro Hero, you can combine the different perspectives of all your GoPro's for a sweet post production video.

A 3-axis gimbal would be nice to stabilize one of your GoPro's. Is it worth it though? Maybe. Even if one was willing to put in the funds for all this, where would one mount the gimbal stabilized GoPro?

I'll be watching your thread for ideas from others as it would be nice to get ideas from others on this. Good luck and happy riding.

Oh, one more thing. You might want a back up solution for all those SD cards for a 10 day trip (http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-Multifunctional-wireless-Accessing-compatible/dp/B00INMB23Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425946115&sr=8-1&keywords=portable+backup+disk+with+micro+sd+slot).

Kingston Digital DT MicroDuo USB 2.0 micro USB OTG
by Kingston

This is a usb key with a micro usb on one side so you can plug it into your phone directly.

The other is a wireless drive that allows me to connect to my android phone or iPad or even my laptop. it's called the RAVPower FileHub Wireless SD Card Reader with Built-in 3000mAh External Battery Pack black and white

Link: http://amzn.com/B00INMB23Q

The device creates a wifi network and allows the device to connect. Now there are other wireless drives out there but the nice thing about this drive is that it uses USB or SD cards for storage so moving the data onto the drive is very easy. I was able to get a nice cheap SD card for storage. Also as a nice bonus it has a little battery backup.

I'm kinda excited that I finally get to contribute something!

I'm sure there are other ways to do this, but this is how I pull it off. A micro SD card with a card adapter they're usually packaged with (this will be your main SD card in your camera. And a micro SD reader, this is the one I have . Once you plug it into your phone, check your gallery, and the pictures will start populating the galley. It's pretty much straightforward after that.

u/Meanee · 2 pointsr/Android

Definitely valid points. I am not too concerned about #1, since I tend not to keep phones much longer than a year (T-Mobile JUMP). As for #2, I got myself this little gadget: http://www.amazon.com/Leef-microSD-microUSB-Connector-Android/dp/B00J2D7R20

It does drain the battery faster than usual, so I copy over my movies to phone from the card. Works wonderfully.

My condolences :-(

u/Trophlin · 2 pointsr/Dashcam

It depends on what you need for when you transfer files to your computer. Some computers have the full size SD card reader so the adapter would be good for that. The reader is a usb stick that you put the microSD card into. You can buy a good reader for less than $15 so go with the cheaper option and buy the reader separate if you need it. I use this reader and it has worked very well. It is a little larger since it also reads full size SD cards. Whatever you purchase make sure it's USB3.0 so you can get fast transfer speeds (as long as you have a USB3.0 port on your computer).

u/Imlulse · 2 pointsr/M43

This Kingston has treated me well for years, it's pretty old but it's a sturdier revision of an even older and more plastic-y one that had some useless sliding caps, it supported my UHS-II cards just fine:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KX4TORI/

There's some curious reviews seemingly suggesting there was a silent rev or something, I wouldn't know since I bought it forever ago. I think my brother in law bought one like two years ago so I could ask him how it's working but he has an A7R II so might not even have UHS-II cards...

I recently bought this Sony since I wanted another one to leave in my bag w/a Surface Go I also recently got, seemed like the next best thing if a little pricier. I figured I'd try a different one just to see if it works any better, tho my cards top out at 150MB/s so it might be a wash. Arrived yesterday, haven't had time to try it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FJRXGX/

There's a bunch of readers on Amazon that try to coyly claim UHS-II support, but only because the cards are backwards compatible and when you dig into the reviews or questions they're just UHS-I readers... Like the built in reader on the USB-C hub I bought last year with Ethernet, HDMI, and USB-PD pass thru.🤦🏽‍♂️

Oh well, everything about it seems to work great and it does have a micro SD reader that works fine w/my GX850's micro SD card; but yeah pinning down actual UHS-II support can take a little reading.

u/BL4Z3D247 · 2 pointsr/PlaystationClassic

OTG replaces it. The kind of OTG adapter/cable/hub you get can cover all scenarios.

If you plan on playing game with more than 2 players you can get the Inateck OTG hub or the TUSITA "octopus" OTG cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8

https://www.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM

If you just are going to be playing 1-2 player games and only want a minimal OTG adapter I recommend the 90° left angled OTG adapter or the standard OTG cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8

If you're going to buy something, people recommend that one. It is an OTG hub so you can connect stuff to it and try to keep the front ports clear. But sometimes there are some annoyances with doing that. I would totally keep the adapters in the front ports ... should help with the connection, too.

u/JW_Pepper_Sheriff · 2 pointsr/miniSNESmods

Here's the approved Wi-Fi adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IFXQFU And the Inateck OTG hub: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8

I'm using the Inateck one (which I use also to add more games on my system with a USB drive): https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8

It's not sexy at all because you have that on the back of your console + the Retro Receiver with its tiny USB cable hanging, but it works :p

u/finaleclipse · 2 pointsr/photography

Something like an OTG cable + card reader should be able to allow your tablet to see the camera files on the card.

u/VinceBee · 2 pointsr/PlaystationClassic

You can have OTG working as well as AutoBleem.

You need to install the initial Bleemsync 1.1 kernal update then run AutoBleem afterwards via the power port.

Lots of folks use the Inatek powered OTG adapter : https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=inateck+usb+hub&qid=1563829842&s=gateway&sr=8-5

With the above usb hub..you can also use sd cards and eliminate a usb drive altogether. I use a micro sd card and don't have any problems with it getting hot or overheating like a usb drive.

u/FrizzIeFry · 2 pointsr/miniSNESmods

my first experiences with external storage were really bad too. I had blackscreens, crashes and was send back to menu a lot. All this was causes by the subpar OTG connector i used ( it was one of these )

Once i switched to the Inateck OTG HUB it has been rocksolid.

Of course that's just my experience and your problems might be rooted elsewhere.

u/FaberfoX · 2 pointsr/nexusplayer

I'm using one like this. I had issues ar first with the storage merging using a micro sd card, it would work for a little while and then stop being recognized, so I replaced it with a really old WD Passport 120GB USB HD I had and so far had no issues. With this hub, the drive works without needing an external power supply. I also tried just a micro USB otg adapter and a regular hub, but that didn't power the drive. I also used an ethernet usb adapter plugged into the hub until recently, when I replaced my router with an AC one. I haven't tried moonlight as I have an ati card, but remotr works pretty well.

u/DanTheMan827 · 2 pointsr/nesclassicmods

or you could've just copied the list here...

OTG Adapters for the NES/SNES Classic: Inateck:
https://www.rakuten.com/shop/inateck/product/HB3001G/
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Inateck-3-Port-USB-2-0-OTG-Hub-Adapter-Cable-SD-Card-Reader-for-Smartphone/602986265
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8
Note: Only the USB 2.0 version is compatible with the NES/SNES Classic out of the box. You would need an adapter for the USB-C version to connect to the NESC/SNESC, and whether it actually would work is currently unknown.

Also, be aware that it uses its own power cable instead of the NES/SNES Classic's USB cable, and it is very short (roughly 12-14 inches long).Consider getting an extension USB cable or using an extension cord.

TUSITA ("octopus" style): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM
This one has been reported as working for many people, but can also reportedly break easily.

Simpler OTGs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCZ2FQQ
OTGs like these have only one port for USB. A simple choice if you only want to use USB and not wifi...or vice versa.

We do not recommend the small angled adapter featured on snesclassicmods.com and elsewhere. It looks great, but easily loses data connection at the slightest nudge.

u/rhcplive · 2 pointsr/miniSNES

I use this microSD card to USB adapter, which came with one of my miscroSD cards:https://www.picclickimg.com/00/s/MTA2NlgxNjAw/z/kHYAAOSwjDZYgO3E/$/SANDISK-NEW-Micro-SD-to-USB-Memory-Card-_1.jpg

looks like this when the microSD card is inside: https://www.picclickimg.com/00/s/MTA2NlgxNjAw/z/DhEAAOSw9GhYgO3J/$/SANDISK-NEW-Micro-SD-to-USB-Memory-Card-_57.jpg

then I plug this inside the OTG, I ordered this, which gave me two adapters with different angles and one of them fits for the snes. https://www.ebay.com/itm/333312241438

but of course you can also go for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCBXIY8

if you use the multi OTG, you can just stick your SD card or microSD card inside one of its slots and won't have to use any USB adapter.

u/hoodatninja · 2 pointsr/PlaystationClassic

Just get a hub to run in the back via the power supply, no need to mod anything. That's the one I use. Works great. I run Bleemsync on a USB through that.

  • Option #1: Connect the device to TV directly (if the device supports this, e.g. has HDMI or AV output).
  • Option #2: Insert the SD card into a slot in the TV (if available) or micro-SD-to-USB adapter and use the TV's USB port
  • Option #3: Traditional methods (involving computer or phone)
u/LastSummerGT · 2 pointsr/ODroid

Correction, I ordered from AmeriDroid, the US vendor for the Odroid products.

Yep, they come ready to play out of the box, because it's annoying to set up the OS manually.

If you choose to get a blank eMMC here's what you need to do: go to the new and improved [wiki] (https://wiki.odroid.com/start) and click your product, in this case it's C2. Scroll down to the Software(OS) Release section and choose which OS you want followed by the specific version. Instructions to setup the OS image are under the **THIS** link. The eMMC modules are a great speed bump, though programming the OS onto them is a bit finicky when it comes to the USB adapter. I had to use a eMMC-to-SD adapter plugged into an SD-to-USB adapter. If you search around you'll find forums of tested adapters that pass/failed the image flashing.

Transcend was a popular one but I chose a cheaper one that still worked. Sorry if you already knew all this, I hated looking all this up so I figure'd I could save you some time.

u/thothsscribe · 2 pointsr/videography

you may have to install a camera driver for it to work with the camera plugged in. SD is usually simpler and less software, just opens like your external drive does. If your computer doesn't have an SD card slot then you need a USB to SD card reader which are pretty cheap. I use this one

u/Tony1697 · 2 pointsr/techsupport

Had this problem and it was the SD card adapter. Only workaround I can think of is using a USB3 Micro SD Card Reader. Personally I use this one.

u/sk9592 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

If you badly want an internal card reader go for it.

But in my option, an external USB 3.0 card reader is a far more convenient, flexible, and cheaper option: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-Multi-Card-microSD-FCR-HS4/dp/B00VAGX6MW/

You can quickly swap it to any machine you want. You don't need to buy additional internal bays or cards. You can use it with future laptops or desktop machines. It's a far more versatile purchase.

> plus one more 3.5" or 5.25" bay add-on with more USB3 ports

Once again, something like an external USB 3.0 hub can be much cheaper and versatile. The only area in which a USB 3 hub falls behind is when you need the full speed of all your USB 3 device at the same exact time. The frequency of that happening tends to be pretty low though.

u/Caleb10E · 2 pointsr/buildapc
  1. Get a USB card reader. I use this one from Kingston.

  2. I think the closest thing I've seen to nailing the Apple aesthetic for a PC case is the NCase M1. It's small and a little on the expensive side, but it's super clean. All the panels are aluminum as well.
u/ZeAthenA714 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Heya!

I'm not really a beginner when it comes to computers but I've just stumbled upon something that I cannot explain and I'd love it if someone could provide some info.

The TL;DR is that I have an SD card reader (a cheap kingston one) with USB 3.0 that has pretty poor transfer rate in the read direction. But today I installed a new USB 3.0 hub (a cheap anker one), I've plugged the hub in the same USB 3.0 port on my computer and I plugged the SD card reader on the hub, and now transfer rate are soaring, almost 3 times what I used to have.

I've done a couple of tests, transferring a bunch of files to and from the same SD card and same SSD, with the only variable changing is the presence of the hub between the SD card and the usb port. The results are clear. With no usb hub, I have a 75MB/s write rate and a 25-30MB/s read rate. With the usb hub I still have 75MB/s write speed and I now have a 75MB/s read speed.

I'm puzzled by this. I expected to get lower speed when using a hub, not higher speed. Anyone knows what could be the cause?

I have two of these. Works perfectly. And it can copy a 400Mb video file to your camera roll in under 10 seconds.

Here's the U.S. Amazon link. And if OP isn't in a big hurry, I've seen price drop from $24.95 to $14.95 on a regular basis.

Edit: Just wanted to add that the Lexar Mobile Manager app is needed to view the video and copy to camera roll.

u/DesignNomad · 2 pointsr/gopro

Just pick up one of these adapters and you should be able to transfer quickly. If you're specifically using the GoPro app Quik, you may want the "quik key" version they sell.

u/Flowah · 2 pointsr/Nexus6P

I have this flash drive and this cable and they both work wonderfully.

Ignore the pictures in the second link. That's not what it looks like. It's just a USB cable with USB-C on one end and USB female on the other.

There's also this which is a dual USB-C, USB-A flash drive but with the added bonus of using micro SD cards. So if you wanna expand in the future you can slap a 64GB in there now, a 200GB later, and so on and so on. Haven't personally used it though.

I've used Lightroom Mobile on my phone (Galaxy S7) and I find it's good for doing quick edits (crop, exposure, color, etc).

It's not as full fledged as the desktop Lightroom but it does have the ability to process RAW files into Jpegs. I just dump files from my D750 using a SD to Micro USB OTG Phone adapter.

Depending on what you need to do it'll get the job done and even for my phone pictures I just put it into Lightroom Mobile and it works wonders for me.

You can have it hooked up and use headphones with a usb-c headphone adapter and plus in usb drives or memory cards too. Even had hdmi out. But like all hdmi out it won’t play drm stuff.

I would use it (and built-in MicroSD) mostly for storage, Steam has “move files” option to move a game to a different drive. If you want to run a game, it’s better to have it installed on built-in SSD.

Yes, they get hot, but not much hotter than CPU/SSD drive, I didn’t measure the temperature though, just don’t touch it.

I use a cable exactly like that one and am having (mostly) zero issues so I don't think it's the cable itself. I am a firm believer that even via OTG any given flash stick or (micro) SD card is still hit or miss. I have four different microSD cards and several different adapters & I said "(mostly)" because my 4, 16, and 128 GB cards all work with every adapter.... but my 200GB card does not work with ANY of the adapters, at all. It just boots to stock despite the fact there's nothing wrong with that specific card.

​

All in all, I'd chalk the slowdown to either 1.) not enough power from whatever power source you are using, 2). a bad/corrupted/incompatible microSD card, 3.) a bad microSD reader/adapter, 4.) corrupt game files, or 5.) any combination of 1-4. I very much doubt it's the cable, but as I said... I think regardless of OTG the entire thing is STILL very finicky and picky. OTG does not equate guaranteed compatibility & I think too many people are under the assumption that it does - then are surprised when their stick or card doesn't work.

Having issues with my USB drive for the dashcam. I have two Model 3s, both are SR+, one with FSD and one without. I originally ordered two of these (Samsung 256GB Flash drive) as I saw it recommended on this subreddit. After one of the most recent software updates, both cars started saying that the write speed was too slow. Unplugging and plugging the flash drive back in was a temporary workaround, but after a few minutes or hours the error message would come back, and I confirmed that nothing was being recorded to the drive when the error message was being displayed.

After doing additional research, I ordered this (SanDisk MobileMate microSD card reader) and this (SanDisk 256GB high endurance MicroSD card, specifically advertised for usage with dash cams). It worked fine for me for about 10 days, and then my car simply stopped recognizing it. I plugged it into my computer and confirmed there was nothing wrong with it, it still had all my sentry mode recordings up until November 15th, and then nothing. I ultimately decided to reformat the card again (using Disk Utility on Mac, using FAT) and still the car will not recognize it. I tried it on the other Model 3 and it also does not recognize it, so either Tesla did something again in the most recent software update, or something went wrong with the drive? Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

I'm planning a back packing trip in a few months and am putting things together getting ready for it. I want to shoot a bunch of video and will be gone for over a week so I need a way to make backups into a portable hard drive as having the necessary amount of 64g or 128g SD cards would be prohibitively expensive.

I tried an OTG hub/reader like this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCBXIY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with my Nexus 5, and it worked as advertised but it seems Android doesn't support ExFAT which is what newer cameras write to these days.

Has anyone else run into a similar situation? I'm looking at cheap Windows tablets but concerned about the quality and reliability.

tl;dr, how do you make backups in the wild without a full blown laptop?

u/DARK_HURRiKANE · 1 pointr/miniSNESmods

Yes. Installing the Memory Booster hmod will tell your SNESc the next time it's booted up to create a swap file on your USB drive that is inserted into an OTG device.

Camera: Canon Vixia HF G20 - I personally have a lean toward canon cameras. Regardless of that, it is a great camera with great low light capabilities, dual SD card slots for longer record times, 32GB of built in memory, full hd recording, AC wall power adapter for longer record times, and more.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/909792-REG/Canon_8063b002_32GB_VIXIA_HF_G20.html

SD Cards: San Disk Extreme 64GB or 128GB - Great cards with good speeds and since the g20 has dual sd card slots, using two would then double your record time. With a 64gb card, we usually get 8+ hrs on a single card. If you go for 128, or dual card, you will get more record time. If you are going to need to be able to shoot for a long time and then shoot again the very next day and do not want to have to off-load the cards, it would be easier just to get a few more cards.

If you get a lot of SD cards, I find it useful to have one of these to protect your sd cards.

I would certainly hope that you have a dedicated computer for your uploading tasks.

If your computer does not already have an SD card reader, that would be a good thing.

https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-SuperSpeed-Windows-Certain-Android/dp/B00OJ5WBUE/ref=zg_bs_516872_1

You did not really specify how often you would be doing shoots and for how long you would want to store the data for. In terms of short term storage, you could just use the hard drive on your computer if it is big enough or you could get an external drive, large enough for the last few (~3-5) shoots before you transfer it to longer term storage or delete the footage. Within this you have two options, hard drives or SSDs. The difference being transfer speeds and cost, SSDs are faster and more expensive. Here are two options.

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Portable-External-STEA1000400/dp/B00TKFEEAS/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1474934311&sr=1-2&keywords=1tb+hard+drive

In addition to all this gear, I would recommend uploading to youtube because it has a much better uploader and I think the user interface is a trade-off that is worth it. Especially since you will be uploading a lot of footage.

More detail about what you want would also help in giving advice.

You can email me ([email protected]) or PM me if you would like to discuss this more.

Thank you for the detailed response. I really appreciate the educational opportunity and your generosity in providing it.

Investing in the SSD before anything else seems like the clear winner. Thanks for underscoring that further.

Some discussions I came across and that I mentioned in another comment in this discussion thread also came to the conclusion that an SSD is the single best investment for the vast majority of situations, so it's nice to see the strong consensus :)

Thanks, as well, for the insight that useless RAM is something to avoid, especially based on your experiences as a computing veteran; and as an experienced builder, I would presume.

I remember having useless RAM sticks in the past after making a minor upgrade to a much older machine (~2001, maybe), and I recall it being frustrating even then to see the RAM go to waste.

Thus, a single 8 GB stick seems to be the way to go to start my new machine off well.

In terms of deciding between upgrading my current CPU or just investing in a new machine, it would appear that the consensus seems to be directing all funds toward a new machine is the better choice, especially due to the greater access to new technology. Thanks for the feedback.

>Don't bother using that ancient 8500gt or whatever, god no.

Thank you for that :) That seemed to be the conclusion I came to as well.

I'm pretty amazed that the iGPU of a CPU wafer is superior to a more massive GPU, but I guess that's what technology improvements can achieve over time.

In terms of the OS, your comment about an unsupported OS refers to when Win 7 reaches the end-of-life, in 2020, right? Or do you have a concern for those of us who plan to use Win 7 from 2017-2020 as well?

I presume this is what you are referring to regarding Kaby Lake's need for Win 10:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/3112663/software/microsoft-made-em-do-it-the-latest-kaby-lake-zen-chips-will-support-only-windows-10.html

If this old machine is still running in 2020, I would definitely plan to migrate over to the unactivated Win 10, at the very least, or change the OS entirely to Linux.

Linux seems like it might have more compatibility issues than an unactivated Win 10, but at least it seems it would be more secure than an unsupported Win 7 installation.

However, this all presumes that your concerns are for when Win 7 support ends entirely in 2020, as opposed to now, when Win 7 is still being supported.

As Win 7 is under extended support until 2020, and it appears that security updates will be provided through the extended support period, there's likely not a security risk to continue running Win 7 through the extended support period, right?
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14085/microsoft-business-developer-and-desktop-operating-systems-policy

Or are you still concerned?

This looks like the type of USB stick with a memory card reader that you were referring to:
https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-SuperSpeed-Windows-Certain-Android/dp/B00OJ5WBUE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1495240886&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+memory+card+reader

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I guess I just need to more aggressively search the internet for products to meet my needs, since it appears they are usually already on the market.

Thanks, again, for all of your help :)

Sorry man, easter.

Here is a dece kit that comes with the raspberry, a power supply, and a case.

SD card for it

u/sean_themighty · 1 pointr/photography

The vast majority of people use a card reader. It's faster than directly connecting the camera and also doesn't eat batteries.

I recommend the Kingston USB 3.0 reader.

u/itomeshi · 1 pointr/buildapc

I went looking for decent SD card readers recently as I wanted to speed up Raspberry Pi card flashing...

If all he wants is SD cards, I'd take a look at something like a Kingston MobileLite G4. Yes, this is not an internal card reader - but most internal card readers that exist are of rather low quality. For example, they aren't UHS-I/-II compatible to read faster cards. It's around $10.

If your father wants CF cards or MicroSD without hunting for an adapter, take a look at this Kingston Reader. It's around $18.

I haven't used these readers; I'm planning on snagging one in the near future, but hopefully someone else can pop in with experience with them. The Wirecutter really likes the all-in-one; meanwhile, Legit Reviews liked the MobileLite G4.

I'm suggesting these two because reviews seem to hold that they're fast, cheap, and at least a recognizable brand. I have no idea how fragile or reliable they are. That said, they're the way I would go.

Also, to echo some of the other comments on here: Get your Dad an SSD at least for the OS and some programs. It doesn't have to be big - 128GB is absolutely safe, 60 can be really crowded. You can snag a bunch of 120GB SATA SSDs for around $55-$60. Another option is an NVMe SSD, since your MSI motherboard supports it - see port 10 in the diagram. I've been happy with a MyDigitalSSD BP NVMe SSD - and 128GB of REALLY fast SSD for $70 is a steal. (As a guideline, SATA top out around 540Mb/s ideal, while NVMe are often 1500Mb/s or higher.)

u/Stupifier · 1 pointr/unRAID

There was a post on this subreddit recently where people discussed a USB Micro SD Card Reader which had a unique GUID....That is pretty rare and useful for Unraid.

If you get corruption, you can swap out the micro SD card and not have to change licenses with Unraid :)

I can't get Nintendont (vWii) to read my USB.

I am using a SanDisk 32GB Extreme SDHC card (https://amzn.to/2k82Nrr) formatted using FAT32 with a 32KB cluster size using Primary MBR. I have formatted the SD card using EaseUS Partition Master and plugging it into a Kingston USB 3.0 Memory Card Reader (https://amzn.to/2wVjVdn) plugged into the top back USB with 1 USB lead, I have also tried a Y cable and plugging it into the back next to the port I mentioned earlier.

No matter what, I am constantly getting the error message "USB FAT could not be opened".

How do I fix this error?

Have a mobile solution working on an iPad Pro with iOS 9.3.3.

Purchased this Lexar MicroSD adapter:

Lexar microSD To Lightning Reader - LRWMLBNL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012PKYVT8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4YjjzbG7DQDDT

My steps are:

  • Send pictures to my iPad's camera roll via WiFi. If your camera doesn't have Wifi you need a lightning to SD adapter or something similar.
  • Open up the Lexar Mobile Manager App (the card reader prompts you to download this free app automatically)
  • Copy the desired photos to In-App Storage. You need to do this so you can rename the photos (which the app doesn't let you do otherwise).
  • Rename photos to AAAA####.JPG
  • Move photos to root of MicroSD card.

    This works with any photo I've tried to do this way. I think it's a pretty good mobile solution since no matter what you need a MicroSD adapter.

u/khaytsus · 1 pointr/GooglePixel

I do NOT yet own this, but I plan on getting one soon, just haven't needed it yet. It takes a microsd card, so that's nice to be able to upgrade it, swap cards out, etc. I have a similar one from Kingston that's MicroUSB that I've used for several years on a Flo and a G2 and I like the small compact design.. It, and another tiny flash drive, lives in my headphone case which I have available all the time.

With the iPad question, the Lightning to SD adapter has worked flawlessly for me. Allows an iPad to save to their camera roll and import into apps like iMovie or Adobe Clip.

Here's the link to Apples SD adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0198HIF7K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_D5ywxbG4F0A21


Slightly off-topic but could help somebody, if you have a jailbroken iPad you can buy a tweak called DSLRcontroller that allows you to use the iPad as a monitor via USB.

SD card reader that plugs into your lightning port. I've used it a ton for photos. Works great.

u/sgdoesit · 1 pointr/sportsphotography

That's why I've had to use SD cards in an adapter in Slot B. It's an extra step, but it actually hasn't caused me any trouble (to my surprise). I got an SD to CF adaptor and use the Apple branded SD to iPhone card reader.


I have one of these in all of my cameras.


And then I pop the card out and into one of these.

​

This has been 100 percent reliable for four years, and the best way I've found to move only selected photos from my camera to my phone on the fly.


One nice benefit to running an SD card in one slot has been how cheap giant SD cards are, too. When I'm on assignments where I do video it's nice to have a giant backup available.

If restarting the system doesn't help at all, then you may need one. Formatting is not a super quick process, so if they system is failing to do it properly, then you will have to step it.

Theyre also great for backing up your screen captures as you can pull them right off the Micro SD card.

I was getting the too slow message to since V10, so I switched to this SD card and card reader and haven't had any issues.

If it is a micro-sd card, try another SD adapter or a USB adapter.

If only the USB adapter works, the RT2600 SD card slot may be the culprit.

Hey. I forgot to report back. I actually ended up getting this setup here . So that with the suggested micro sd card. That said, after a recent update I haven’t had issues with my prior setup either.

Ever thought of getting something like this?. Of course you would need a card reader, but that you can keep on your keychain You'd get a hell of a lot more in the data/space department and still be able to keep everything separate, if that's why you have all of the different USBs.

I haven't read anything about that yet, but as I understand it the x4 is still fairly new to market.

Also here is my favorite new reader which is smaller than the pico drives:

u/Yaglis · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I know, but I don't really use it for much. Besides, the battery life is horrendous because of the gtx555m in it. It has a new-ish battery in it but still only gets about 3,5h unplugged while idling and browsing the internet.

Right now, it is cheaper than this so it will do what it does at the moment.

u/mrmax1984 · 1 pointr/techsupport

Transfer all of your photos from the camera's internal memory to the microSD card, then use a USB adapter to transfer them to your computer.


The alternative would be to use a cloud service to upload them all, then download on to the computer.

https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/First-Installation


One thing you will need is the ability to write to the SD card. If your computer already has that, then you're good -- otherwise pickup a cheap Amazon usb-to-microsd card writer. This is the one I got, works perfectly.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0046TJG1U

The one surprising thing -- after you install retropie and have it running, perform an update (there's a menu option for it). The update from 4.1 to 4.15 takes forever... maybe my microsd card sucks, but you'll need to let it sit for 30-45mins+. No interaction required during this time, so go get a sandwich or something.

u/whatawonderfulgame · 1 pointr/3dshacks

The item you linked it just a micro SD card. You want something like this where you can see the larger card acts as a standard SD card for the Smaller SD card so you can fit it into a standard SD card reader. Unless you have a micro SD card reader slot already or maybe some kind of multicard reader that supports micro SD.

I wouldn't suggest using the card on the Wii U as well but TBH im not sure there is a reason you cant.

u/nx6 · 1 pointr/Cameras

Not sure. But the camera's interface is only USB2 and the camera will have to be powered on to transfer photos. Meanwhile you can get a USB 3.0 card reader for less than $12 with tax.. Even if your PC only has USB 2 ports you'll see better performance than you would a USB 2 reader (or the camera).

Not sure how tight your budget is, but that's worth the one-time cost for me. I plan to shoot raw so the files will be large.

u/D00zer · 1 pointr/answers

Most cameras just use generic mini USB cables. You can buy one for a dollar

[Alternatively, you can but a multicard reader super cheap here]
(https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Y65AN0HMA53N5PRX0A8S)

That is if you want to spend money on something that may yield nothing. Don't wanna spend money? Bring it to any place that develops photos. They normally have a card reader for just about any type of card you can bring in.

u/007bister · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

So just the other day I bought a 128GB Micro SD Card for My Switch because im starting to run out of Space on my Switch got it on sale for $29.99 at


https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sandisk-ultra-plus-128gb-microsdxc-uhs-i-memory-card/4471009.p?skuId=4471009


Around the time the switch came out I heard that SD Cards where Melting inside the Switch I know it was a SD Card issue and not the Switch its self is there anyway I can make sure the SD Card im getting isn't going to melt inside my Switch and Possibly Damage it? I was thinking about plugging it into my SD Reader and Plugging it into my PC and fully fill the SD Card thin do a Full Format on the Card pull it out and see how hot it is. Can someone tell me if this would be a good test to make sure the SD Card will not melt?


Also this would be the Card reader I would be using to Test the Card

$10, works great.

Everything you want to do has been made. VASTLY easier since the days of that thing.

As for having too many roms... pick the ones you want, put them on instead of the lot.

Also, floppy disks for that thing are crazy expensive. Like $20 for 10.

Everdrive + appropriate sd card is absolutely the way to go.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006T9B6R2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GVJizb0B49QWE

This is the one I use. You can see from the pictures that it has a micro SD slot.

u/thisguy9 · 1 pointr/Cameras

I use this exact setup. Anker USB-C OTG cable and Anker USB 3.0 SD/microSD Card Reader. I use this to copy photos from my SD card of my Nikon D5500 to my LG G6. There are some cheaper options on Amazon but I usually trust Anker or Aukey as they haven't caused me any issues (so far).

u/legos45 · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

Hi,

I would also recommend either the Lenovo Yoga 720 or a business grade 2-in-1 device. Sadly, it appears that the one shopineer and star linked don't have full SD card slots, so I would recommend getting SD card adapters if full size is mandatory.

As a whole, I would consider super durable 2-in-1s to be a bit rare within your range. But I would consider them self repairable, although 2-in-1 devices tend to more difficult to open up.

What are people using to read SD cards with iPhones on iOS 13?

I attempted to connect this Anker reader to my phone via this adapter, but I get an error telling me the Anker reader is USB 3.0 and requires too much power.

I'm hoping to find something that doesn't restrict me to just SD cards in case I ever want to plug in a flash drive. My next move is to grab the USB 3 camera adapter, but I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone had any other suggestions.

You can always buy an SD card reader for like 10-20$ in your local electronic store.

I actually bought myself this https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Reader-RS-MMC-Support-Warranty/dp/B006T9B6R2/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483024542&sr=1-5&keywords=SD+card+reader

Its just a few bucks and it works perfect.

Steelhax and Basehax are pretty easy to setup once you have acces to Homebrew. Steelhax works with a free to play game from the Eshop so you dont even need to spend money on it.

Basehax works fine aswell. There are guides for both secondary entrypoints in OP's post.

u/andoryuu3 · 1 pointr/vitahacks

I highly recommend a USB 3.0 microSD card reader if you have USB 3.0 ports (you'll thank me later after you transfer content from your old card lol). I bought this one by Anker:
www.amazon.com/Anker-Portable-Reader-RS-MMC-Micro/dp/B006T9B6R2/
Worth noting that this model can also be used for 3DS hardmods, which is what I originally purchased it for.

u/canuckaway_mcthrow · 1 pointr/Dashcam

> Which one are the "best"

Depends what features you want the most. Some cameras are "best" for sheer video quality, others are "best" in a two-camera setup, others are "best" in terms of being able to copy videos off of the camera on-the-fly....

> how they work (do you have to buy space to save the video and just basic information, I know, stupid questions)

Most dashcams record to a microSD card. Some will come with a card included, but it's recommended that you buy your own - a "high endurance" card with at least 32 GB of storage.

The dashcam will record video to the card non-stop. Even when the card fills up, the dashcam will just start overwriting the oldest videos with newer ones.

Most dashcams have an "emergency save" button which will cause the currently-recording video to be saved to a special folder which is protected from automatic overwriting.

Typically the most straightforward way to access your dashcam videos (e.g. to save for court or to post on YouTube) is to pull the card out of the camera, and pop it into a USB card reader on your computer.

u/Owmince · 1 pointr/3dshacks

Hello,

I'm struggling since a couple of hours and can't find the reason of my problem.

First some pictures : http://imgur.com/a/RtORq

It's a NEW 3DS XL

  • DAT0 : orange thick wire / red thin wire
  • GND : blue thick wire / black thin wire
  • CLK : white thick wire / white thin wire
  • CMD : yellow thick wire / green thin wire

    I base my soldering on : http://s15.postimg.org/cql9a6i3f/mmc_adapter.jpg
    And https://gbatemp.net/attachments/00_n3ds-xl_pins-png.17927/, except for the CLK, i used the alt one as you can see on my pictures.

    I did all the soldering fine, and double checked it 5 times already, everything is OK on this part.

    Now i turn on the 3ds with the card reader on it, i have a blue screen which is normal, then i put the card reader into my computer, it detect 2 disk, one is "faded" while the other is not (like a normal disk).

    But when i click on the disk it just says "no media" and of course WIN32DISKIMAGER doesn't find it (in admin mode)

    I use the most known working card reader (the ANKER https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T9B6R2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), i tried with different ones with the exact same result.

    Of course if i turn on the console without putting the SDcard in the SDreader, i will access the home menu like nothing happened.

    Any idea ?

Here is the dictionary definition of a motherboard. "a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors into which other circuit boards can be slotted." Another way to think about it I'd that a motherboard is the foundation of a computer. Every other part of the computer (excluding the case) slots into or goes on to the motherboard. It is what provides the connections between all of the parts.

As far as an SD card reader, I don't know of any modern motherboard that has one on the back or a specific connection for one. Since you don't have any 5.25 inch drive bays on the s340 I would suggest getting a USB SD card reader. This is an example of one- https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006T9B6R2/ref=psdcmw_516872_t1_B000Q3IUV2

you'll need to buy a compatible SD reader, i've seen the anker ones being used the most. probably because they're the first on the list.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T9B6R2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

also, if you dont have a microSD -> SD adaptor, you can solder the wires directly to the SD reader.
you probably shouldnt actually do that though because then you'd not have an SD reader, but it's fine if you do.

u/Year2525 · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

ah, nah that's probably my bad on the card reader. Considering the case I linked has 3 x 5.25" bays, you can go with this reader that should fit pretty well with the overall look. If you want to use the case front usb 3.0 + the usb 3.0 on this reader, you'll probably need something like this to get the additional internal 20-pin USB 3.0 connector. But as the case has a door, you may not find those USB ports very practical anyway. If you don't buy the PCI-E card, then only the card reader and USB 2.0 ports will work on the reader, and the USB 3.0 ports on the front of the case.

Edit: oh those are US prices, but you can probably find an equivalent in the EU :p

If you need more ports, most desktop motherboards have extra USB ports. You just need a cable to go from the motherboard to the outside of the computer.

So do you think I should get something like this?

u/construktz · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

Then I would just get this Acer Chromebook 14.

It's very high quality for what it is and offers a 1080p IPS display in an all aluminum chassis with great battery life. You can backup photos from an SD card for sure. This one just doesn't have a built in card reader, so you'd just need something like this. It's cheap enough and you'd just need to plug the external into another USB port to do the transfer.

That, or you just sync stuff to Google Drive. Either way it'll do it for you.

u/ZenKantAC · 1 pointr/SVExchange

Are you free right now? I can help if you'll do a few battles so that I can check mine too. Oh and if you don't mind spending a little money the easiest way would be to just grab a cheap SDHC to USB adapter and use the KeySAV or KeyBV methods. There's a bunch on Amazon for like $7. Link

u/Rajminster · 1 pointr/Cameras

Yea for one more euro might as well. Your HDD is fine as well.

As for that card reader. That's weird. Even my SD card reader gets warm, but too hot to touch? That's concerning. Since it's Kingston, I'm sure its ok but here's the one I have: Transcend 3.0 reader

And don't format after every use. That's overkill. Only format before using the card in your cam for the first time or if you have to switch the card between different cameras. You don't have to format very often.

u/fustercluck · 1 pointr/techsupport

Okay, so that's good to know. I used to work with huge files on SD cards - a lot.

I know that sometimes a shitty card reader (like this) will also fall asleep during the transfer. It's really maddening when it won't make it thru a single file without going to sleep.

If you're using a similar reader, get a better one. Like this. I have one of these, and it totally rocks.

If it's a reader in your PC, I don't know how to help you.

Be patient dude.

u/zardoz_speaks_to_you · 1 pointr/mildlyinteresting

No but you can just buy a tiny USB SD card reader on Amazon for $8 or so - same thing.

u/iCo975 · 1 pointr/SSBPM

I'm trying to set up the same thing. Turns out you probably/most certainly need an SD card to soft-mod your wii via a process called "letterbomb". I'll probably have to buy something like this as well to plug into my USB 3.0 drives so I can move data back and forth to my SD cards on my computer. It's backwards compatible with USB 2.0 so it should probably work with your setup to. We're in this together bro! Let's get Project M on our wii's yo. Also you need a USB drive assuming you don't have a brawl disc and aren't doing it the "hackless" way.

Yes, Ubuntu is very flexible with the location of your install as long as it remains plugged in while the device is on.

>Also, could I buy an SSD (but not an SSD meant for the NUC), one of these: link2

Yes, but you could also put that SSD in some models of NUC like this model.

>And then install Ubuntu on that?

yes, but you could have better success with an external enclosure that stores the whole drive rather than that model that is meant for hotswapping. Like this.

u/Ythan · 1 pointr/AndroidQuestions

That's really weird. I haven't heard of a problem quite like that. If you have access to a PC with a microSD card reader, I would try and back up your data, reformat with the SD Card Formatter from the SD Association, restore your data, and see if that helps. If you don't have any way to read microSD cards on your PC, you might consider something cheap like this since it will make it a lot easier to deal with these kinds of problems in the future.

u/Weft_ · 1 pointr/gopro

Thanks /u/lamic

I looked through your post and recommendations, it looks awesome! I know I really should wait for the Hero5 but I'm not sure if I can wait.


I started to put a list of things I want/need into a spreadsheet, to start looking at Price. I have Amazon Prime so I'm thinking about ordering everything through Amazon.


Can you take a quick look through my list and see if everything checks out and if I missed anything for "Basic" operations? Then could you make any more recommendations, or let me know what my next purchases should be?

  • GoPro HERO4 SILVER- $338


  • Memory Card Lexar 64GB- $35, Looks like the cheapest one between Sandisk Extreme and Lexar, Lexar currently is the cheapest on Amazon

  • Batteries - Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack)- $22, Read a few reviews and people said they like these batteries a lot. Should give me enough juice and let me know how long I can record with, until I'm completely dead.


  • Protection Lens - $7 I really just need to lens protector, in the reviews people are saying some parts don’t fit the Hero4 only the Hero3. Or should I put the $20 version off the actual GoPro site?

  • GoPro The Tool$4, Like you requested and reading some comments it looks like it would be worth it.

  • A basic Card Reader - $7, did a quick google search on best card readers this one popped up for best for it’s price.

  • SANDMARC® Pole - $40, Looked up some reviews and people tend to like this one. It seems like is always recommended to have some kind of stick or holdable mount to start off with. Also could you go into a little more detail about mounting the GoPro?

  • Pelican Case -$25 I like the idea of it being waterproof and I like to be organized with my stuff. So this looks like a perfect fit. And it will be an awesome case to travel with.

  • Kingston 5-in-1 Mobile Companion - $35 I was watching some videos and it seems like this could be a cool little gadget to have. I would mostly use it for “mobile uploads to Hard Drives”. Working in IT I know how important it is to have backups, and this will let me get around bringing a laptop to the resort and other stuff. This is the video I’m referring too that shows you how to upload to a HD with out a computer.


    So with everything in my cart I’m sitting at $488 which is with in my budget.

    I’m still reading about the remote. That might be something we add down the line. I think I’ll be pretty content with just my phone app or getting the “waterproof touch screen” case cover too.

    Do you think this is a good setup? Will this get me going? Do you have any recommendations, or anything that I should add or not buy yet?
u/Renarudo · 1 pointr/lgg4

I'll cosign on the card formatting thing. I picked up this usb 3.0 compatible card reader and it's been very handy to have for transferring TWRP and Titanium Backups between my SD card and PC. The one downside is that this is a wide card, so it effectively blocks other USB ports. You'd have to pair it with a USB 3.0 extension cable if that is a concern of yours based on your USB port arrangement, or pick up a card reader like this one (which I can't comment on since I don't own, so YMMV).

u/KenrouHolo · 1 pointr/CarAV

Pretty sure you are right about it acting the same as a flash drive.

I did find an SDXC that should work as well. It has a SD slot and a microSD slot but you can only use one at a time. So that means both ports are using the same controller, given that microSD is electrically the same (just physically smaller). It's cheap and is a decently known brand (though this, like all card readers, will really be made by some 'random' factory in China/Taiwan/similar).

Interesting. I've only ever had one SD card fail on me, and it was one of the low-end SanDisks they sell for way too much at BestBuy.

I would recommend a USB SD card reader, such as this one, if you're having that problem a lot. That way, you can gently insert the card into the reader first, then plug the reader into the PC.

Mmh, just a philips screwdriver with magnetic end (is it called like that?). Regarding static electricity, just plug your psu without turning it on and touch it before touching any other component.

CPU: i5 4460 is more than enough for your usage plus it carries itself great in games.

Motherboard: Decent motherboard with support for the aforementioned CPU out of the box.

RAM: 8GB of fast RAM at a great price

Storage: A 256GB SSD and a 1TB for your other storage needs

Graphics: Since you're not going to be playing heavy titles nor is the machine primarily gaming based you will find this graphics card more than adequate. While there was still budget for a faster graphics card, I've opted to not add one. This will play most titles - even recent ones - at 1080p/60fps at reasonable settings.

Case: Great look case, small. It does carry a $30 premium over the typical suggestions here, but it's gorgeous. Especially if you want to move it into the living room for those HTPC purposes. Since there was budget, I've opted to include this one - a good case is a great investment.

PSU Overkill to be sure, but at that price, it's a steal. You would save $10 if you got the 500W Corsair modular, but it is in all aspects worse.

Optical Some people still use this, so I've added one.

O/S Windows 8.1, as per your request.

Other The card reader you've requested. 300+ 4star reviews on amazon suggest it will do its job fine. Will match the black/white theme of the case.

RAVPower Filehub, 5 in 1 SD Card USB Reader Wireless Hard Drive Companion WiFi Bridge Sharing Media Streamer 3000mAh External Battery Pack, Black This will allow you to transfer from an SD card to a USB drive, under the control of an app on your phone. I took one with me when I felt uncomfortable taking a computer. However, it did seem a little slow and choked up on some transfers of huge quantities of files. It is cheap to buy and try, but I would experiment before you have to rely on it. Frankly, next time I am going to just bring the computer.

u/xTubo · 1 pointr/gopro

I've never hooked up more than one usb drive at a time. So I can't say for sure if it would work. The one downside is, unlike the WD, it doesn't have a "dump" button. That will just offload everything. You need to use a phone or tablet to control it and tell it to copy data over. After that I just reformat in the GoPro. If the internal battery isn't a big factor for you and you don't care about the wired lan port, you can always pick up the other model. It has a smaller battery, but it also supports fullsized SD cards.

http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-FileHub-Wireless-External-sharing/dp/B00INMB23Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1415248461&sr=8-2&keywords=ravpower+filehub

I prefer it over the WD since I already have lots of storage in thumb drives and portable drives. And I always get weary when hard drives are built in. Since it becomes a brick if the drive fails.

I have tried a few ways traveling to places where I can't bring a laptop. This would work well, I think. I've been meaning to try it. People have made custom firmware for it which can make it autonomous.

I always try to have 2 copies of all the photos backed up. I separate the 2 copies. For example, one drive stays in my suitcase and the other goes in my wallet or backpack. Keep them in zip lock bags.

I use large USB flash drives, OTG adapter, and my phone to copy the files around.

Here are the ingredients:

Phone or tablet that supports OTG.
OTG USB adapter.
USB hub.
USB SD card reader.
2+ USB flash drives (128GB)
ES File Explorer or a file explorer app

I plug the sd card reader and 1 drive into the hub, which connects to my phone through the OTG adapter. I use the file explorer app to copy the files from my camera sd card into the flashdrive. Then I copy them again into the 2nd flash drive. I do this every night.

Keep the 2 identical flash drives physically separate all the time.

u/mredofcourse · 1 pointr/apple

As others have pointed out, making the connection is the easy part, it's the software that's the issue. The best way to deal with that would be a USB->WiFi device. There are plenty of those on Amazon, like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00INMB23Q

It features a battery backup, SD card reader as well as USB ports all for $40.

But... You're a bit trapped by any device like this in terms of the software it's running and the app you have on your device. Also at issue would be how well the app or even if the app ran on an iPhone 4.

I think they are moving to more internal storage space and foregoing implementing UHS-1 which will be outdated rather quickly. I'd rather have 128gb or 256gb internal and no external.

Although I do like external storage in case of a catastrophe, but I use a micro USB 2.0 UHS-1 micro SD reader that is no longer than a micro SD card and use it via USB-OTG to back up important things. Even with it plugged in I can put my phone in my pocket and it feels no different.

I would actually recommend buying the pen, or rather, buy the Surface Pro 4 pen to use with your Surface Pro 3. At least, if you have any desire or need to draw or highlight/make notes in reading materials, then get the pen.

The Arc Touch mouse is very nice in that it's quite small when flattened, and packed in a bag. I like it with my SP3 as an extremely portable little kit. No need to purchase the "Surface edition", the regular Arc Touch mouse is often available cheaper, and is essentially identical.

If you find yourself in need of a new type cover at some point, the Surface Pro 4 type cover is a nice little upgrade, and is sized perfectly/works perfectly.

Most sleeves sold for the Surface Pro 3/Surface Pro 4 do not fit well. Most are a little too long. I do find the sleeves by "Snugg" to be pretty nice. They aren't really padded, but will protect your tablet from scratches if you throw it into a larger bag.

A micro-SD card can expand your storage, as others suggest. Depending what other devices you use, you might also want a small USB card reader for full-sized SD cards. I use one with my camera. I've found this one to be reliable, and it looks nice enough next to the SP3.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KX4TORI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I also found a second-hand SP3 dock via Amazon Marketplace. It's quite a nice device to have, if you need to be able to dock the tablet.

I don't use mine with a screen protector, so cannot recommend one. Enjoy your new device!

Quality control on those octopus ones seems to be lacking and too much guesswork about ones that work and ones that don't.

I just got this one and will have to try out soon: https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8/ref=pd_sim_107_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00OCBXIY8&pd_rd_r=RD9N0FYKBDWYT0ANX8NW&pd_rd_w=kmANp&pd_rd_wg=3Elfm&psc=1&refRID=RD9N0FYKBDWYT0ANX8NW

I'm hoping it will prove to be a reliable option for folks who want multiple inputs.

I haven't seen complaining on the right angled one so that likely is a good option for those not needing additional inputs.

u/kheszi · 1 pointr/prius

You don't need a laptop, just get an OTG USB hub that supports simultaneous access to multiple devices, like this one:

Then buy yourself one 256GB microSD card, and one 256GB SD card. Plug everything in, and now you have 500+GB of music available to any Android device that supports OTG USB interface. Connect to the car via Bluetooth and you're good to go.

I've built this computer from parts other people have owned, from parts I previously owned, and I've had a few of these items as gifts. Looking to upgrade my CPU/GPU/motherboard this coming year.

Meh. There are unexpensive microUSB adapters that you can purchase and bring with you for that particular situation.

Apple didn't invent the USB-C spec though, so you don't have to buy dongles from them. And you're only going to have to buy dongles for the first few years, because in probably ~5 years from now, everything will have switched over to USB-C.

Albeit, removing the Ethernet jack and SD-card slot isn't gonna be solved with time, but already with the SD-card slot you can get an adapter for $6.95.

If you think sticking with antiquated technology forever is pro-consumer, you're kidding yourself. We have to switch at some point, and it's not gonna be any more painless if we just keep waiting.
