Going to Italy in early March and was looking for a device like this for travel. I was wondering if anyone owns this or could recommend something similar. Thank you for your advice.

There's nothing in the info about how much stuff it will store.

You are correct. I will try to find out.

Yes. It works. But turned out after testing I never used it.

Any amount you want to attach. It doesn’t have internal storage.

How does it not have internal storage if you're supposed to be able to back up an SD card without it being attached to a computer?

Not all storage devces are in a computer.

It's great. I've been using the older version - the WD-03 - for the past 4 yrs and it has been flawless. Highly recommended.

You should look at their website. It is NOT a storage device.

OMG!! Visit the website and see how it works. It has an SD card slot, and a USB-C host port that allows you to attach any USB storage device - of any size you want - and initiate the entire thing with a push button on the front. Alternately you can wirelessly connect a phone/tablet/laptop/desktop to initiate and monitor file transfers. The older WD-03 did not have the push button transfer.

And neither device required attachment to a computer - being a portable wireless router, it creates a local WiFi network.

I have the device and it works as advertised albeit a little slow imho for large file sizes. My only issue (and it could be me) is the documentation with RAVPower devices. Fortunately, their customer support is very good and, more importantly, very accessible by phone.

I use a $15 cable that does the same thing and is much simpler.

All it is is a power pack that will allow you to connect an external SSD or portable hard drive that you can back up card to SSD/Hard Drive.

Not an answer to the question, but an alternative. A 2GB card will hold roughly the equivalent of a 36 exposure roll of film for a full frame digital. Most of us opt for larger storage devices. Why not, when traveling use a bunch of smaller cards that will hold a days worth of shooting? Each morning start with an empty card, leaving yesterday's shots safe in your hotel room. A couple dozen SD cards weigh less and take up less room than a transfer device or a portable hard drive. It certainly takes less time to change a memory card then to load a new roll of film. All my cards are 32 or 64GB which is over 1300 or 2600 shots per card in my Sony A6300 travel camera. A 1GB card would be the equivalent of a 36 exposure roll of film. Now back to reality. The smaller cards are too slow for newer cameras. You can get a fast 16GB card for around $10 while a 128GB card is only $26. The package is the same for both. The price we pay for not having all our eggs in one basket.

Just buy a few memory cards for your camera. Simple, cheap and works great.
