USB A is the large conector we are used to. USB 3.0 is the standard that adds an 2 extra superspeed channels using 8 or 9 wires to achieve 5 Gbits. USB C is the new small conector. USB 3.2 gen 1 is the higher speed version of USB 3.0 using higher speed switching to achieve 10 Gbits. USB 3.2 gen 2 uses the extra wires in USB C to achieve 10 - 20 Gbits (18 wires, 24 pins) There are others B, micro, mini, micro B, too many to list.

You can share the drive on your home network, or use an OTP adapter for your phone I believe (at least on Android).

Not exactly what you're asking for, but I use an android app called FolderSync (the free version) to back up to a mini PC I have always on at home. I set up an ssh key to do it securely. Every night when I plug in my phone, it backs up any new photos I've taken automatically. It takes some setup, but I thought I would share that in case you find it useful. Automatic backup is a little more convenient.

Is there a quick and easy way to dock my phone to this to download all the photo and video I take, say once a month? I'm paying for Google drive cloud Storage right now, but of course as you use more the annual price keeps going up.

Better off going with an external drive like this one?

The only way I know is, using a computer, hook your phone to one USB and the External hard drive to another. Then, copy all of the photos directly to the external hard drive. I'm a photographer and I cannot have enough storage. So, this is drive is a given for me to have.

Can anyone confirm that the shucked version of this hard drive will fit in the Mediasonic ProBox HF7-SU31C? Unfortunately I had to return the SABRENT DS-SC4B because the hard drive would not fit. 3/8" was sticking out of the drive bay. Thanks.

2025.08.25 update: Sabrent confirmed that the shucked version of this hard drive is not compatible with the DS-SC4B because the hard drive is an Enterprise / Archive-class hard drive that has a slightly larger casing than standard consumer 3.5" SATA drives. Sad ending but I was still very impressed with the Sabrent Help Desk response time.

If you have the latest Android, you should have the USB 3.1 "C" connection. If your Android is older, then it should be the USB 3.0 connection, see pics attached.

If your phone has a usbc port and you have one of those hubs then I don't see why not.

You can always plug them both into a computer at the same time and transfer that way.

The internal drive is 4" x 5 3/4"

Be very careful in buying from Best Buy especially via Ebay. If the product is defective or you want to return it, they are notorious for not responding until after your 30 day window is up, then saying its too late.

Curious. I haven't done anything with SSH in a very, very long time and remember basically nothing (not that really old info would be relevant anyway).

When you say "I plug in my phone" do you mean to your mini PC, or are you connecting to something else and getting there through wireless and opening a port?

Oh, interesting. I haven't kept up with hard drives. Standard drives used to be 3.5", right? So If I wanted to shuck this drive and put it in my current desktop it might not fit? Just curious.

I'm not sure what you mean, they will not respond. I have never had a problem returning anything to best buy in the return window. Are you talking about returning online? I just go to the store and never had a problem.

This is the same price that B&H durint Bilt week. The device is okay, as always limited by the cable it uses. This still uses the USB 3.0 micro b to USB A cable

Hmm, maybe not necessarily easy, but its free and you can transfer files via wifi if you're on the same network. The "plainapp" on google play.
Works excellent, from my personal experience: https://play.google.com/store/app...n&hl=en_US
