What all do you use your storage devices for yof?

TylerThomas said:I see,
So it connects via wifi? Where do you get your SDXC cards? Are they at a reasonable price where you get them?
And no I can't show you that. I don't own that particular device I was just showing it to you for reference. I think you should add the additional memory cards to your list because of those devices. You should also add portable hard drives because of their potential use with a USB hub and an AC adapter. And again I would add network dives. I just think you should make the list exhaustive so people know what all their options are.
But did you notice, that you can use an SDXC card with that one kit you were interested in? I'm thinking about maybe getting one of those kits. There a little more expensive than the more simpler ones but still reasonably priced for what all they can do I feel.
Anyway, I'd like to figure out some more uses for these things and such.
Without trying to hijack the thread I thought that this may be of interest if you haven't seen it before http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-connect/75570-cloudftp.html

That's pretty cool. How does something like that trump a network drive? Or is it basically the same kind of a thing?
What all can you do with one of those that you couldn't with a network drive?
What are the capabilities of GoodReader in its current version?
yof said:Yes it connects via wifi but without internet if you don't want to. It creates its' own network. I get my SDXC cards from Amazon. But I get a big discount off Lexar UHS-I 128GB one because of Amazon Prime. Saved 150$? Around there. They are pretty reasonable well that is. But it's not as fast as if I was using an SSD with a SATA-II to USB cord to a CloudFTP. But even so, Wifi right now 802.11n is capped at around 480mbs? So I guess that wouldn't hurt either. My card minimum transfer says 60mb/s though. Hopefully that's good enough, because it's the best and cheapest in the market right now on Amazon for a SDXC card that is.
I use my storage devices to watch movies, but I'm moving to wireless. Since my clumsiness and how easy the CCK would come loose, I would rather not lose storage by moving onto wireless solutions. Especially towards NAS.
Yeah, I slowly and secretly updated the thread. CloudFTP is listed under those wireless device section. But isn't wireless a marvelous thing? I love it cord free! Especially in my bed with my headphones attached. There is no way I'm going to get more than one cord tangled! Cheese for everybody! But yeah TylerThomas CloudFTP with your USB hub would be interesting too!
Off topic but relating to external drives for storage:
I was planning to make my own NAS storage, but one with SSD. Searched on Amazon there wasn't at all any good choices. But if I could somehow use the software from the manufacturers and somehow make one, I would be very happy! Especially a chip with 802.11ac ontop of a SSD storage, that would be golden! Fastest transfer upload and download out of all the methods & being wireless and without internet too! yeah got too much free time, gotta get back to work.

Yes I'm a media entertainment guy. Although for questions. If airplay speakers were hooked up to recieve the sound part of the movie from the NAS connected drives, would the airspeakers around the room that is set up for 5.1 surround sound come about? Hmmm. I might have to google that. Anyway I'm looking forward to streaming FLAC content or CDQ as well. Uh I get the movies from people. Don't know if its' protected or not but as long as I can watch them that's all I care about haha! Yeah gadgeting up huh. Always fun! This is what I'm going to try do
See SSD + sata cord to usb to CloudFTP to get that max 480mb download stream, instead of dealing with those pesky Hard drives that has 7200 rpms but doesn't deliver plus it's noisy (well some are cuz of fan). Hoping next generation CloudFTP supports 802.11ac with USB 3.0 capability. In fact I'm going to ask Daniel Chin that.
Off topic education: Are you schooling @ TylerThomas, cuz if you are take a look at this http://www.massresources.org/hope-credit.html, you can buy a mbp this year and get reinbursed if you use it schooling equipment. I got reinbursed for it previous return from H&R block. Use it before it expires! only in usa

yof said:Hm. Yeah that's another thought, home entertainment system with NAs storage. Can't wait til I get that set up in the future. Hopefully there will be something in the market for mounting SSD's to a single whole so it shows as one. Or a SSD that's big enough. If there was an SSD with 5TB I would so pay over 2K right now for it. Why I keep mentioning SSD instead of HDD in the current market is that I can't standddddd HDD. I really can't lol. It's too fragile for that much storage. I'm not rough with my products but I don't trust HDD. My data has been whiped out too many times by different brands. lol. But yeah looking forward to seeing this
yeah man! with airplay set up through NAS ! Yamaha yht-897 5.1
I'm sure you can find SSD with more capacity it's just gonna be in a specialized market. I would keep looking and I think you could find it.
yof said:Yeah... I found a 1TB for $2500... lmao. Hell to the no! Unless it's a Nas server which is freakin huge LOL.
