📸 GNARBOX 2.0 SSD (512GB) - Durable Camera Backup Solution for Seamless Data Protection Review

This product is junk. It's broken right out of the box and won't connect to a device to set it up. Absolutely useless. Their support documentation on their website is terrible and doesn't provide any connection troubleshooting whatsoever. Of course I get my money back. But I cannot replace the time I spent trying to understand this completely useless product. DO NOT BUY. you have been warned Doesn't connect to any device. Edit: To take my time, I contacted their tech support to help them…

What a great tool! If you're reading reviews here, chances are you've already done some research to understand what this device has to offer for your workflow. The backup function alone is worth the money, not to mention the advanced file management on "any" SSD that is connected during editing. After seeing LumaFusion and the benefits of iPadOS13 for a base 7th Gen device, I settled on the 256GB version and added a 1TB Samsung T7 SSD as a companion.

Used the app to select, rate and add keywords to images. I imported some photos into Lightroom on my phone for editing. Overall it works as expected. My only complaint right now is that I wish I had

I've wanted this for a long time and it fulfills everything I expected and hoped for. I have a WD Wireless Passport SSD and where it's missing it puts a screen on it. It's slow, the app is so basic that there aren't many features after it. This is a game changer and you might think WD would respond with a better product or stop making backup devices for photographers or videographers.

I rarely leave bad reviews because I understand that companies and the people who work for them do their best to meet consumer needs. I have invested in the 512GB version of the GNARBOX 2.0 along with an extra card reader and USB-C dongle to connect to my computer while waiting for a trip. I didn't want to carry my laptop. After receiving my device, I fully charged the battery to 100% and booted it up. So far, so good. Followed all setup instructions (particularly from their website). After…
