I am trying to find an external hard drive which will allow me to dump the contents of either an SD card or a USB stick (an SD card in a USB adapter in reality) directly onto it without the need for a computer. I have recently gotten a Canon EOS Rebel T3 and am taking many many pictures. It would be far more convenient if I could simply dump all of the photos directly onto an external hard drive instead of involving my laptop every time. I don't have a necessity to pick out photos off to card, just move all of them off the card.
Extra bonus to anyone who can find a hard drive that has this feature and allows me to connect to my TV as well for viewing photos and movies.
THANKS!
Question about
External hard drive or enclosure that allows direct transfer from USB/SD card
A slightly out of the box answer. I use a product called eye-fi. It is an SD card that has wi-fi built in to the actual SD card. When you take a picture it shoots the images or movies to the cloud, pc etc depending on how you set it up. It needs a device to accept the transfer. This might help hopefully, but is cool none the less.
