Review on 💾 SIIG JU-SA0S12-S1 USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive with SD Reader - High-Speed Storage Enclosure, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, Black/Blue by Gabe Smith

I've been looking for something that would allow me to use my Samsung Tab s4 (sm-t830) as a host to transfer photos from my camera's SD cards to my external SSD, when I put it on I don't feel like bringing a laptop with me, for example. Of course, a few people might step in and say why not buy a Windows tablet that comes with a native USB connection. While I love the Surface Pro and how small it is, Android and IOS are the only true operating systems for tablets. [By the way, I hate my apple!] The speed and connectivity is amazing. With an SSD I get 400MB/s read/write access to the enclosure drive and 80MB/s to the SD card. I also get 80MB/s when transferring data between the SD card and the case drive. In terms of size, the case is no bigger than any other 2.5-inch case I own, despite having two SD card readers (Full Size SD and Micro). , My Note 8 is larger than this case. If I had to make one change, it would be easy to upgrade SD readers to UHS-ii speeds. My cards can read at over 250MB/s so transfer speeds are reduced. up to 80 MB/s is crap. [but still doable in a pinch]. Of course, squeezing out USB 3.1 Gen2 to connect to the host would be an added bonus, but stepping away from USB 3.1 Gen1 gives you full access to UHS-ii speeds. Switching from USB 3.1 Gen2 allows for a slight increase in read - and write speed to a SATA3 drive, where the full SATA3 speed is largely achieved (500 MB/s if you have an SSD). Connected to a phone or tablet, it is powered by the host device. eat inside. I mention this because it can be a good alternative to spending some money on a USB-C hub. Many of these hubs come with a dual SD reader (Full and Micro) operating at UHS-i speeds, plus a USB port for connecting a hard drive AND a pass-through port for charging a host device (phone , tablet etc.) also small laptops) . ) and not to mention HDMI or other display output connectors. I found it a little "fun" to test different USBc hubs and when transferring from SD card to HDD I get pretty much the same speeds through the USBc hub or this case hub. If you are interested in using this device with a phone or tablet, consider purchasing a MicroB to USB-c Cable [B0779TNFDV] or a USB 3.0 Type-a to USB-c Adapter Consider [B06XZX464L]. An advantage of the adapter is that you can use the same cable with a USBc device or a "traditional" USB 3.0 port.
