USB on the go - data transfer with no PC

[Ben_Stanton]

Hi guys,

 

This isn't strictly school related (but could be).

 

I want to be able to copy data from one USB device (memory card) to another USB device (flash drive) whilst on the go, ie. no computer. Simply plug both devices in, click a button and transer away. I can see this of being a benefit in so many situation. I know these things exist, just cant put my finger on where...

 

Has anybody used such a device?

 

Cheers... Ben

Havn't used one, but you can usually find them in the camera shops.

I've one of these - Thecus YES nano N1050 White USB2 2.5" IDE HDD Ext Storage with OTG (On The Go) USB & AA Battery - Scan.co.uk - but not got around to trying it in OTG mode yet!

Cheers guys. I just had a look on ebay and surprisingly there is a shop in my local town that has one. Not the enclosure kind but a dongle that sits between devices. Super
