It worked!!! using a Samsung T7 Shield 2TB SSD, using an iPhone 14, and as shown the Apple camera adapter 3, and power source. Warning!- Plug the camera adapter in first & let iPhone automatically download the software for it first. My screen went black and wouldn't work when I plugged in and immediately connected power, even minutes after I unplugged everything. A phone restart fixed it thankfully (push vol up, vol down, hold power for 10+ sec when frozen/black screen). Thank you Average Tech Guy for this video, this is awesome!

I had so many frustrating experiences over the past few years getting drives to work on my iPhone 12, 13 and 14. Your video was very refreshing and put a lot of my previous frustrations to bed.

My sandisk worked for a day with the camera adapter, then I got an update request for the adapter, and surprise surprise it doesn’t work anymore.

Thanks!

For the SSDs that consume more power, you can either charge your phone to 100% and then try it again (when the phone won't be charging, more power will be delivered to the SSD) or get a powered USB hub and connect everything from there (like a network switch).

or instead of power bank you can plug into socket. Normal Apple charging adaptor can deal with this.

Great video! Thanks! Been searching for a solution to transfer videos and pics from phone to computer/SSD external drive for years. Went to the link for the ESR portable power charger and it's no longer available (which do you suggest for my iPhone 13 Max Pro). Would supplying power to the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter via Anker 525 charging station (or something similar) work?

I have both Samsung S23 and iPhone 14, so hopefully this will work on both. Great video, because I also heard not all ssd’s work with iPhone.

Been using a hub adapter working slow but works

I tired the Samsung T9 with the setup you showed , but it doesn’t seem to work. Looks like I will have to get one of the other SSDs you mentioned. Thanks

2022 Update - I just tried this with the iPhone 14 Pro and the Samsung T7 SSD 2TB (no fingerprint), and it works decently. Sometimes the device doesn't appear right away, and othertimes it doesnt appear at all, even if it's plugged into the wall outlet. When it does connect, I'm able to transfer content & watch videos okay. I also tried it with the Sandisk Extreme SSD 1TB (not the Pro edition) and again it only worked half the time.

Hi where can I find the links for the products you used, please? Rav power, Samsung T5, the adapter and the power bank? My iCloud on my iPhone 13 pro is full and I need to keep my photos & videos for work as reference. What would you recommend, please? Are they from Amazon and/or Apple? Many thanks 😊

I have 13 promax and went and bought Sampson T7 SSD drive no fingerprint one terabyte and bought the camera cable that was listed in the link and followed all the directions it does not show the drive on the phone all the lights come on no go … I did try with a iPhone 7 plus and it worked fine it showed right up so I’m wondering if it’s done in the settings or if I have to reset the phone from scratch or maybe Apple’s doing something in there updates not sure ….. update so the next day I plugged it all in again this time the phone was off plugged it in set it up turn the phone on I see the drive T7 everything works perfect no problems now

I bought an adapter to transfer my files to my Samsung SSD. This works perfectly. But to my surprise I lost all my EXIF (meta) ​​data once the files are on the SSD, even if I include ''All Photos Data'' in the Options tab before I tranfer it. The files that I transfer via Airdrop to my iMac do keep all EXIF ​​data. Does anyone have a solution for this, or is it not possible at all?

I’m having trouble connecting my Samsung T7 Shield. It only works half the time. I’m using an iPhone 12 mini (and iPad 9th gen), Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter, official Apple cable lighting cable plugged into outlet. It won’t appear in the Files app. Any suggestions?

So the Sandisc and WD used to work and now doesn’t. So then if you have info, pictures videos saved on it and you want it hooked up to your iPhone or iPad you are now screwed. Have I got that right? So your stuff is lost.

Can the iPhone (13 Pro Max, for example) have photos and/or videos saved to the external SSD directly/automatically ... rather than saving them to the internal memory and then copying or transferring those files over to an external SSD? Thanks, Chuck (NE Florida).
