I am looking for a hub or other device that would allow me to backup camera memory cards using an Android Tablet or Smartphone. I would like to use the Tablet or Smartphone to control data transfer from a SD UHS-II memory card using a USB adapter to a USB portable SSD drive. In order to achieve reasonable speeds, this device should use USB 3 ports.
I have been thinking about a similar solution to backup memory cards while on holiday. I have given up the idea for a number of reasons, the primary reason being that it involves too many parts (card reader, hub, cables, SSD) to carry with me. (Another reason being the current travel situation). In the meanwhile I found the optimal solution for my modest requirements: my Samsung Tab S4 tablet accepts large microSD cards (> 400GB), with the use of a USB-C card reader and Samsung MyFiles I can copy files from the card reader to the internal storage card. Only disadvantage is that the app does not allow already existing files to be skipped, the only option is overwrite. I have been thinking to write an app for this purpose, unfortunately for medical reasons I had to postpone this for a while.
There is an app already (sync-memories ) for this purpose, imho this app belongs in the category "CrapWare" because it only functions for memory cards used in Sony cameras and most of the "documented" features have not been implemented.
