I number all of my SD cards using a white pen, and I have made up a card using 110# card stock with the numbers and space to write info about the appropriate SD card.

Buy a cheap laptop.

Two inexpensive portable hard drives. SSD, spinner. Doesn't matter.

The cheap laptop can double as a cheap music server.

The most popular consensus is to just use multiple SD cards. They are cheap, and easy to pack and carry. In effect, you already have your external storage media. Depending on how long you will be traveling or how many images you take, just load up on SD cards.

That is what I do. The cards do not take much space and are easy to keep out of sight, also you can use "Post It's" to label them and put contents lists on them. Better than trying to add a lot of baggage that could get lost or stolen.

This is exactly why I purchased an iPAD yesterday. In order to transfer my snaps from my camera to my portable SSD. I don not want to be hauling around a laptop.
Please tell me how to do it providing more details about the cables and connections.

I used the NewQ Filehub AC750 Travel Router and you can view the images on your phone.

Why not just take along some extra SD cards? They are light, rugged and even just one 128 GB card will support more shooting than I've ever done in a week.
