External Storage for iPad

I just received this in a marketing email from Seagate. I haven't seen it first hand so don't consider this an endorsement of recommendation, but for those seeking external storage to accompany your iPad, it might be worth a look:

Can you get external storage for iPad?

Is it possibly to purchase an external storage device that can be connected to iPad through the lightening plug?

While the iPad can read from a few USB sticks to import photos and videos, it cannot write out to it, or even access anything other than the photos and videos.
You cannot play directly from it, and they must be in a very specific format.
There are wireless alternatives which allow you to store movies and photos and other files in an external drive that can be accessed wirelesssly using a proprietary App. You can then play the videos and look at the photos directly on the App.

External disk for iPad available?

Is there an external disk for iPad now? Not like in two years.

No. But you can purchase the Camera Connection Kit that can be used to connect to a USB drive. However, to the iPad the drive is read-only, and not all USB drives will be recognized.

Advice on 2TB external storage for 1080 DVCPRO HD footage

I'm trying to find the best external storage for editing on a 17" Macbook Pro.
I'll be working on a feature shot with the HVX-200 at 1080i/24pa. I'm figuring we'll need approximately 2TB of storage.
Are FW800 drives fast enough to edit 1080?
Is it possible to run a 2TB SATA raid off the ExpressCard?
And as a side question, is the Macbook Pro fast enough to handle 1080? (we haven't purchased the system yet). It sounds to me like it will be, but wanted to see if anyone had any real world experience with it.
To be honest, I know just enough about the brave new world of the HVX-200 to get myself in trouble, so bear with me.
Any advice on the drives, and even good vendors to get them from, is much appreciated.
17" Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Why are you shooting 1080? This camera does best at
720p. And in fact, the files sizes will be very
small at 720p24...just 22GB/hour. And since the
chips are really ideal for 720p...I see no gain in
shooting 1080i.
But that is me.
I just finished a show that was a mix of Varicam and
HVX and I edited 720p, and output to 1080p, and it
looked great. Airing on TV this Friday. Sadly, in
Standard Def...

That's a good question. lol.
The director wants 1080 because there's potentially going to be a 35mm blowup at the end of all this. Depending on who you ask, I've heard 720 may lose anywhere from 10-30% resolution on blowup compared to 1080.
Though it's been a back and forth decision. He's not 100% sold on 1080 (especially because we're finding few people have done it with the HVX-200) and 720 sure makes the workflow much easier.
That's been a question we've been unable to find a good answer to, is shooting 1080i really that much better (to justify all the extra work in the process) than just shooting 720/24pn and doing an upres at the end?
how exactly are the chips ideal for 720p?
By the way, I've been reading your blog. It's one of the best sources I've found out on the net for this stuff... Keep up the good work.

External battery for iPad 2?

I want to use my iPad 2 (purchased in Australia) on a 24 hour international flight. Is there some kind of external battery I can buy so I can use the iPad 2 for longer than the standard 10 hours?

Google or Bing is your best friend. However, I'll do it for you this time...

Also, more and more airlines are putting power ports in coach seat locations. I think they all have them in F/C or business class. You can buy a power port adaptor from Apple or other locations that will power your iPad from either an airline seat or a car with a power port.

External Storage for iPad2 as Photo Backup on holiday

Hello
I have an iPad2 and I would like to use it on holidays to store, view and sort photos. Is it possible to attach an external storage to the iPad anyhow to backup the photos to a 2nd location? Something like the HyperDrive but bidirectional. No cloud solution possible because no internet available on holidays. Something like a wireless Harddrive?
Any ideas?
Thank you
Jan

G-Tech running at 7500 RPM? I thought it was 7200 RPM. Are you using a single external drive?
I like the idea of a RAID that is hot-swappable. But it can be pricey option too. Unfortunately Drobo appears to be a hit or miss in the dependability department. And the G-Technology 4TB G-RAID is a RAID 0 only which if I understand correctly your sacrificing reliability for speed. Has anyone had good experience with Western Digital 4TB My Book Studio II Hard Drive?
As I mentioned before, my IT person is trying to persuade me to get a simple single 2TB external for backup/storage. And another tech person suggested two external drives, one for Time Machine and the other for cloning of the boot drive. But the problems is I want to store my work on the external and not the internal drive. But there is no redundancy in that setup. So what are my other options?
I could get 2 x 2TB external drives. Is there a way to have one drive clone the other in the background and without any user intervention?

Buying extra storage for ipad

Im almost out of space on my Air 16GB. trying to figure out if it makes more fiscal sense to buy one with more memory, but I heard you can add to the memory space on the device, rather than buying a new devide altogether. anyone help me with how i do that?

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

External storage for early 08 mac pro for video storage and editing

Early 08 Mac Pro mod 3.1, 2x Intel 2.8 Quad Core Processors. Bus speed 1.6 Ghz. 10 GB DDR2 FB-Dimm 800 MHz. USB2, Firewire 400, 800. ATI Radeon HD 2600 PCIe 256 mbVRAM. Currently running OS 10.6.8.
I use machine for photo and video storage and editing. I tried using 2x 3TB and 2x1TB HDD internally ( 8 TB total). All are Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200. Experienced constant spinning wheel and lockup requiring manual shutdown. I had upgraded to Lion and to Maverick. Did not help so I did a clean install of primary with Snow Leopard and did not install past 10.6.8. Works now if I don’t exceed 3.5 TB internally. I also discovered that my Disk Permissions experienced voluminous corruption that could not be repaired if I installed Java for Mac OS 10.6 Update 17 as suggested each time I check for software updates.
I need to be able to have a total of about six TBs available in my system for storage and editing of video via Imovie. I don’t know the maximum of HDD storage that can be used in the four internal bays without causing lockup and corruption. If 3.5 TB is about the max, then I would like to have some ability to have external storage via firewire 800 if that would facility fast enough transfer for either video edition and or playback. I don’t know if thunderbolt can be installed via PCI card. I could add a SATA PCI card. However, I assume that would cause the same problem as experienced with 8 TBs installed internally in the four bays.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

Do you mean 2x2TB and 2x3TB for a total internal capacity of 10TBs? Are you running Snow Leopard or something else? Actually, I took it to an authorized repair facility who ran checks and said nothing is wrong with the hardware.
Yes, I've got a total of to TB and I'm running Snow Leopard. If your hardware checks out, that pretty much makes it a software problem,,, reinstall the OS?
Does the High Point Technologies SATA3 PCIe connect to eternal drive enclosures or does it somehow connect to drives in some of your four internal bays?
Highpoint makes several RocketRAID 2700 series SATA3 controllers for Mac with external mini-SAS connectors, probably the cleanest/least expensive external hook-up. They also offer a combo internal/external board that (for marketing reasons) is listed as not working for internals with Mac Pro. I believe that this is due to pressure from Apple (who apparently does some business with High Point Tech) but to the best of my knowledge it will. Technically, the "not supported" statement is true since all the internal bays are tied to the motherboard SATA 2 controller, but this can be remedied with a special cable. HOWEVER... the boards are not bootable, so your system disk needs to be on the motherboard controller.
In truth, I bought one of their 8-port "internal only" boards designated for PC only and flashed it so the Mac Pro sees it as a 2722 board, so I have 8 internal ports. I'm not recommending you do the same unless you're pretty geeky, but the 2721 would give you half-and-half or the 2722 would give you 8 external with no mods to the board.

What is best way to manage external storage for 160 GB Tiger iMac

Unfortunately I bought my 160 GB G5 a month before the Intel iMacs came out. I never thought the teens would take to movie making the way they have. I am constantly at 150 GB plus and have filled a 300 GB Maxtor external with a whole system backup image and then a whole boatload of iMovie files. I have purchased a new 500 GB WD, but is still unopened. I have also purchased but not installed Leopard. What is the recommended way to manage the external storage of all of my video - they want to make more movies! Would Time Machine work by keeping movies on for a couple of weeks and then deleting so I would have access through that interface? Help, I can't afford a newer iMac yet.

If they make movies, you will eat space. Be grateful, because if they get real good, they will be able to buy you a room full of storage. LOL.
Seriously, you do have a problem. Even though you could exchange the internal for a much larger drive, they will keep filling them. Film real estate is large. Just keep daisy chaining till you reach your tolerance limit, and if they want too make a movie after that, burn any you must delete to DVD, and then erase it.
Of course, remember, any file that is not at least 2 copies is at risk. You may want to burn some of those to DVd as backups, anyway. DVD's are very cheap.

Hi.
I'm looking for a good external storage (HDD) for my 128GB MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch.
128GB is way to low to storage music and films on etc.
Any great solutions for storage?

I've had good luck with LaCie External Hard Drives.

Core Data: "Allows external storage" for Transformable type?

When I create a Core Data attribute, and set its type to "Transformable", the "Allows external storage" option is unavailable. I only see it available for Binary type.
How can I use "Allows external storage" with Transformable type?

I wanted to post an update and let everyone know what I decided on and how well it works.
I went with the following setup.
eSATA Express Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839200006
eSATA enclousure
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817173043
eSATA drive
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218
All of this cost me a total of $159.57 for about 600gigs of high performance storage after being formated! I did some benchmarks and the drive is performing faster than my internal 7200rpm drive. It is not much faster but it is faster.
So I would have to say that if you really want some fast performing drives for just about anything eSATA is probably the way to go.
About the items,
The eSATA card looked used when i got it. The seal was broken and the item was dirty and had finger prints on it. It was however very easy to install. I just downloaded the newest drivers from rosewill.com plugged it in and it worked.
The hard disk enclosure seems well made and was a breeze to setup and install. It also does usb 2.0 if you need it. It has as a big cooling fan and includes a usb and sata cable as well as a eSATA bracket for your desktop pc.
All in all a great buy. So thank you again for all the info

External webcam for ipad?

Is there a way to attach an external camera on an ipad? I've read many posts that were fairly old... And best thing was a Disney camera that only took stills. Most other forums said No, there is no such thing... Is there really no camera on the market that can be attached somehow to Ipad?

Using external storage for purchased movies

Hello Apple TV users. I was about to pull the trigger and buy Apple TV, but I'm not clear on something.
If I use Apple TV to purchase HD movies from the iTunes Store (I'm guessing they come in at +/-6GB each, is the only storage option for these movies the Apple TV's internal storage? 40GB is nothing. 160GB is not much.
I understand using Apple TV storage as a cache for rentals, but for movies that I buy, I'd like to be able to keep things on a 500GB or 1TB drive (which I already use for iTunes storage anyway.
There's a USB port on the Apple TV, but I read in another post that this is a service port that only Apple can access...
Any guidance much appreciated.

Currently you can only rent HD movies from iTunes, you can't purchase to keep, so unless you want to download several HD movies with a view to a very intensive bout of film viewing it's probably not an issue, though it may affect the amount of synced content on your AppleTv.
There's a USB port on the Apple TV, but I read in another post that this is a service port that only Apple can access...
Correct - service port only - no reason it couldn't be enabled in a future software update but unlikely in my opinion. Would love to be proved wrong on this!
Personally, I think the trend will be towards centralised home media servers, and networked 'thin' clients for display with small amounts of onboard storage. I would love an "AppleTV Air" type device with solid state storage - should run cooler, use less power, and be less prone to hardware failure without a mechanical drive.
Even in it's current form I could see me using Apple TVs for years to come but the hard drives will eventually fail - a solid state drive AppleTv would have more longevity.
If they enabled USB to allow attaching external storage that would be the icing on the cake (more codecs, faster processor, and higher bitrate playback would be the lit candles!).

External data storage for iPad

I am a student and just purcased an iPad (due to arrive any day now eek!) to be able to order my textbooks in e-book format.
The issue I am running into is non wifi data back up. I don't want to keep the books on the actual iPad as the files are huge, but to keep them on iCloud or something similar on line limits my access when my WiFi at work goes down. I did not have the money for a larger memory and cannot afford the 3G due to being college poor. So, while the ability to store my textbooks on iCloud is a great start, what if I'm working and the wifi goes out? (It does often and I'm constantly breaking into our server room to reset it for patients who want to use their tablets or e-readers, but it doesn't always work and our IT people are not there overnight which is when I work). I was told the camera connector kit would work to store data on a flash drive or SD card, however, it won't. I was also told about iFlashdrive, but the price is way out of my league and it is merely a flash drive anyway. I can't justify that cost. Is there a cost effective way to store my textbook files for when I can't access the internet, at all? This just does not seem very user friendly to me at the moment.

Keep your eyes open for a device called the "ZoomIt" or "ZoomIt Reader". It looks and acts similar to the Apple Camera Connection Kit, except that it allows you to access much more of the content on the SD/SDHC cards. I bought one to use it for loading data files onto the micro-SDHC card for my GPSr and it works great using my iPhone 4. I have places pictures, videos and PDF files on my SDHC cards and accessed them from my iPhone, so it might be able to get you closer to what you want. The only problem I've seen lately is that these devices seem to be a premium to come by. I paid about $39 for mine when I bought it new on Amazon, but the last time I looked, every retailer with them in stock was asking closer to $100 for them.
If your app offers "open with" and "export" funcitonality, you can probably use this device to copy content onto or off from your iPad. I can't imagine trying to get by without mine now that I've had it so long...
