Copying SD Cards with "LaCie d2 Network"
- by rjstelling
The LaCie d2 Network has a feature where by you can attach a USB drive and press the blue button at the from and it will copy the drive contents (no computer required). (See this review for more info).
USB 2.0 and eSATA ports are also
provided but these are not designed
for extending the d2 Network's
storage. Rather, they allow you to
connect portable drives for uploading
their data to the d2 Network directly.
The process is quite slick, too: just
plug in a drive and press the big blue
button on the front of the unit to
trigger an immediate upload. This
copies over everything on the external
device and seems ideal for camera use.
Is it possible to use an microSD or SD card adapter (like the Kingston MobileLite 9-in-1) and copy the contents of the card?
I'm assuming the card reader just "looks like" a normal USB flash drive the computer or (in this case) LaCie d2 Network.
Is this assumption correct? Do you know any reason why this won't work?
