I was very pleased to see apps I’m familiar with on your iPad... JW library and my time for service, keep those videos coming My Brother.
Just got a T7 external…your vid is the first one I clicked on to see whether ssd would work with iPad Pro. Super informative and helpful with demos. Great video, Big O! 👍🏼👏⭐️
Thank you Omar for getting right to the point and telling us what you had to say, #1. And BTW, everything you said was EXTREMELY helpful. But you didn’t take a 10 minute boring setup. So I will DEFINITELY be back to your page for help. Brilliant, just Brilliant dude! Peace.
great video, though I don't believe at any point in the video did you suggest what format the hard drive should be in, so that the iPad recognizes the drive when connected; mind answering the question? thanks
I bought my new I pad back in April to avoid having to share our laptop with my wife who uses the Mac Book Pro for her business. I have my own you tube channel and the videos also use up a lot of storage space. I thought at the time that an I pad would be the ideal solution to my problem. I am wishing now that I had never seen this thing. Apple, as good as they are, could have and should have done better. There is no reason for this to be so over complicated. I movie on the laptop and I movie on the I pad are two completely different systems. I am thoroughly discouraged and ready to part company with Apple!
Great video as always! I would like to ask you for advice. I have two Hard Disks (formatted in exFat) that I normally use on a PC. I tried to connect them via the Hub to the iPad (Air m1) but they turn on without the iPad recognizing them. How could I solve? I also changed the adapter but nothing. I state that until some time ago they were read without the slightest problem.
Nice video bro. I just started uploading my art projects to RUclips and running into storage issues for obvious reasons. This is perfect because I’m only using my iPhone and iPad Air with lumafusion to produce.
Thank you for the info! I am able to connect my hard drive to the iPad but it is reading as a “read only” i am not able to make new files or copy files onto the drive. Any tips? Thanks!
I don't think it'll ever work as a standard storage device per say. It will probably always act more like a thumb drive for backing up files and moving them off the device. Apple could change that though
If I use a NvME card in this unit with a DRAMless design, and format it to exFAT, will it still work in my iPad mini 6? Thinking of the Lexar nm790 4tb...
thanks for this video! im just having a problem maybe some of you guys can help > whenever I connect my hard drive to my ipad, I transfer photos from my ipad to my hard drive using files app, then delete the transferred photos on my ipad, but when I disconnect the hard drive and check my storage, it seems like the files app gets larger? im not sure why that is happening?
Hello, thank you for this helpful video! I was looking for an alternative for my studies and this helped me a lot. But I still have one question: Am I able to use my SS hard drive with regular Ipad from 2022/2021 (no Air or Pro)? I apologise for my English 😣
Thank you for this video!! You answered every question I had except one: I saw that you transferred a photo from the external drive to the iPad Photos app, but can you transfer a video file also? Would it go to the Files app? For example, I have an MP4 movie file on my external drive and want to watch it on the iPad Pro -- can I move the video file, unplug the drive and watch it on the iPad? Thanks very much!
hi Omar I liked you informative VIDEO. But to it is not clear to me about the name of the cable you used to connect iPad to Samsung SSD. Also, using this connector is it possible to play a VIDEO from SSD to the iPad. Again what is the exact name of the connector? Thanks.
Even with a hub with power I'm having data corruption saving to an external spinning hard drive. There are no error messages, but 90% of large files saved to the spinning drive from the iPad are unreadable later. This doesn't happen with SD cards and SSDs on the same hub. Not sure yet if it's the drive or a general problem. Ipad Pro 2020 12.9". The hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 2TB formatted as exFAT and works fine everywhere else.
Do you have any tips for holding your iPad in your hands while using an SSD? With the cable sticking out of the side it’s really uncomfortable. Right angle cable or a dock?
Thanks for the tips video - helpful for me while I'm considering to buy either the iPad Pro or a MacBook Pro as my next Apple purchase. One thing that you didn't describe/show (perhaps because you already know it's not possible!?) is taking any kind of file (photo, video and document) and being able to decide where to save it inside the iPad onboard hard drive space...is that possible? Thanks!
Great video. I am tempted with the iPAD pro - but this video has swayed me. ONE Question - Can you move iMovie projects from ipad to eternal hard drive (to create space) - or is this more for moving individual files?
I have the same question, does this work to store stuff like iMovie, Garage band, heavy games, etc. I feel like it still doesn’t convert your lower storage iPad to a real high storage iPad 🤔 I hate the price difference between the 64gb and 256gb iPads. Apple intentionally doesn’t offer 128gb cause it’s the most convenient one atm...
Hi, thank for video. If I have only ipad pro, can I use new SSD external disk without format him? And it is possible to somehow find out the size (remaining memory) of the external storage in the iPad?
What format you use, I`m trying to hook up a 2.5 toshiba 4tb HDD with and without a hub power hub but the Ipad gives and error and can`t read the HDD. My samsung TabS7 reads the HDD with no issues without a hub even....
Yes..you can. You need to download all movies from iCloud first to your device and then transfer them to the external storage whichever you have. Double check before you do this.
Informative video. Thanks. Just one query. Does the iPad support the format of the SSD / HDD? Or does it require reformatting into, say for example, ex Fat or Fat? Please let me know. I'm planning to buy an iPad Pro.
I am going to purchase a Ipad Pro I love this feature I am curious though. Should I go for the 256 or settle for the 128? I feel like the 256 gives more flexibility but at the same time I plan on doing anything heavy duty (design work) with an external harddrive handy. So, what do you suggest, 128 or 256... or higher?
Thank you for the excellent video. Question: I am trying to get photos off my ipad pro to anexternal drive so I can add to my PC. Would I be better off using the hub and downloading photos to a thumb drive or just buying the little ssd drive?
When you say PC, you actually mean a windows PC correct? Not a mac? Either option works fine, neither is really better. If you're on a Mac, you can just air drop the photos wirelessly. But if you are on a Windows machine, then flash drive or ssd drive both would work.
Thanks for the video. I want to do a photography tour with just an iPad and Samsung T5 hard drive for backup. My goal was to store the files on the hard drive (which I know how to do with a QGeeM hub) and then view and cull them from my iPad Pro. I can see the pics in the Files app but cannot see them from any of my photography apps (Lightroom, Snapseed, oi share, etc). Do you have a solution or a workaround? Thanks!
My problem is that I can't delete pictures I don't like from my hard drive through my iPad. It won't let me so I need to go back to my laptop...too bad.
I’m able to do all that but when I put photos on my USB drive from my iPad and I take the drive to a computer or somewhere like a store to up load photos some look like they haven’t down loaded but when I try it on my iPad it works. What could I be doing wrong or is it the drive?
When I plugged an external hard drive into my new version ipad 12.9 it says its set to read-only? I can’t see any way of changing the settings to correct that John
This is very helpful, thank you! Question: can the iPad Pro 2020 link to multiple external hard drives? Is there a dependable USB-C to multiple USBs hub of some kind that I can try? Thank you
YOU DIDNT MENTION the updated OS version. Whats the modrl of the iPad Pro youre using, and what were the highest speeds during trsnsfer of the T5 and the other stroage units you showed? Thx!
Omar, will I be able to use an external hard drive to back up all data, files, photos, etc on the 2020 iPad Pro? I have a Macbook Pro and am looking to get the new iPadPro as my one and only. Will it work for me for storage. Right now I use Time Machine and it links to the MacBook Pro.
Thank you. Your video is very helpful to me (potential iPad Pro customer). I have an old terabyte hard drive (Seagate Goflex 1 terabyte) that I have used for years to back up our family pictures and docs. Do think a 2018 iPad Pro 11 inch can power that drive like the others in your video?
I have an old hard drive too but I am not sure what brand and model is, I have to check at home but it did not work. I put hdd like that but nothing happened. :(
Think I’m having a problem. I can plug my Mavic A2 drone directly into my iPad. Or remove the micro SD then plug it into my “QGeeM” hub and from both locations video playback is smooth. However after I save the same video file to my (just purchased) Samsung T5, video playback is choppy. Should the drive be able to perform this task, or am I asking too much of it. Please advise
Hi what hard drive is compatible with new iPad Pro 12.9. I have bipra which was fine with MacBook but now I cannot access all my photos on iPad Pro. Thanks
Hi Omar, I need to connect my Samsung T5 SSD to my iPad pro to play VIDEO from SSD drive. Which connector should I can use? Please write me the name. I checked all the linked in your description area bur couldn'tg find. Thanks. Faltastic VIDEO.
@@omarcorrea I have tried to connect ssd to ipad pro with a (c-type/Lightning) cable, but it does not work. My question, is there any branded or specific connector with c-type and Lightning port to be used? Thanks.
I am wondering if the external hard drive Hass to be formatted for macOS in order for the iPad to recognize it? I have an external drive, but I formatted it for fat 32 and the iPad does not see it. I have a six generation iPad Pro.
@@omarcorrea I went back and checked and actually it is Mac OS Extended Journaled. Can't see why it wouldn’t work but it does not show up. I wonder if there's a setting I have to adjust.
Is there a cable for lightning to micro B? I can't find it on Amazon. I have one of the original iPad Pro with a lightning connector. I wonder if I could hook up an external drive to that, without having to go through a hub.
There are Lightning to USB type C which SSD drives usually use. But there are actual Lighting Flash drives that can go directly into the iPad Pro with lightning as well.
@@omarcorrea I have a few of those usb sticks with a built-in male lightning port, but I wondered if there was a simple cable with a male lightning at one end, and a micro b at the other, so I could plug in my external passport drive, without going through a hub. Can you post a link if I can purchase one somewhere? I have never seen it. Because of your video here that I watched yesterday, I bought 2 - USB C to micro b cables and they came in today, and works great! 🙂
I connected my WD My Passport yesterday. While moving a video into the iPad Pro, it hanged and I had to remove the HDD. This corrupted my WD HDD. Btw my iPad Pro is connected to power thru the magic keyboard and I was using the Apple 3 in 1 adapter.
I don’t want to ruin my HDD by improperly ejecting it from my iPad. It makes a high pitch whine noise every time I unplug it (which is not a good thing, but it still works well)
*im talking to an apple support rep right now and he says the iPad Pro does NOT support direct connection of SSD* So it’s really a luck of draw if your ssd works or not with an iPad
Can i still do this even if I don't have an iPad Pro? I bought the standard model 8th gen iPad, so can I still do this with a Lightning to USB A adapter? I have a 5 TB portable hard drive (not an SSD), and I would love to be able to use it with my new iPad. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Also how much would a hard drive drain my iPad's battery?
I have a brand new 5tb WD portable hard drive that my iPad Pro 4th gen will not recognize even though I formatted using ezFat. The drive does work because my desktop sees it and reads and writes to it without issue. My question is does the iPad Pro have a HD size limit that would cause it to not recognize the drive? Appreciate your videos and also any assistance with this issue.
I tried to connect my samsung external HD M3 portable 1 tb. But did not work. I used the Levin adapter USB type-C hub pro. Even if I add power in the Levis . But I could connect my usb. Do you know my external had did not work in the iPad pro?
Hello! Please help me with this question: when I connect the ssd t5 to the ipad, I take off the photos, check - he sees them, turn off the power, disconnect the ssd. Then I go in and some files weigh 0kb and I can't see them. How to fix it?
Hi Omar, i was hoping to ditch my old MBP and buy the new iPad Pro. I was going to use two 6TB drives (1 being redundant) to hold my photos/videos etc. How would I be able to copy one 6TB drive to the other using the iPad? Is it possible to connect both at the same time?
What about playing videos, please? Bc u can't play any until u share it to a specific media player u have (one by one) which is annoying when u have so much videos.. isn't there a way to choose a default media player for these videos so we can play them immediately from the hard drive on the iPad? If u didn't get it sir, just try to play a video from the hard drive on the iPad

@@omarcorrea I went back and checked and actually it is Mac OS Extended Journaled. Can't see why it wouldn’t work but it does not show up. I wonder if there's a setting I have to adjust.
@@omarcorrea good news. I swapped out the cable for a high speed data cable and it’s working now. Many thanks for the video. Was really helpful.
Is there a cable for lightning to micro B? I can't find it on Amazon. I have one of the original iPad Pro with a lightning connector. I wonder if I could hook up an external drive to that, without having to go through a hub.
There are Lightning to USB type C which SSD drives usually use. But there are actual Lighting Flash drives that can go directly into the iPad Pro with lightning as well.
@@omarcorrea I have a few of those usb sticks with a built-in male lightning port, but I wondered if there was a simple cable with a male lightning at one end, and a micro b at the other, so I could plug in my external passport drive, without going through a hub. Can you post a link if I can purchase one somewhere? I have never seen it. Because of your video here that I watched yesterday, I bought 2 - USB C to micro b cables and they came in today, and works great! 🙂
I connected my WD My Passport yesterday. While moving a video into the iPad Pro, it hanged and I had to remove the HDD. This corrupted my WD HDD. Btw my iPad Pro is connected to power thru the magic keyboard and I was using the Apple 3 in 1 adapter.
I don’t want to ruin my HDD by improperly ejecting it from my iPad. It makes a high pitch whine noise every time I unplug it (which is not a good thing, but it still works well)
Mine won’t show my drive. I have an iPad Pro 2021 and a WD My Passport drive. I use a hub but it does not pop up. Do I need to do something first?
All my external drives say they read only? any idea how to fix this?
*im talking to an apple support rep right now and he says the iPad Pro does NOT support direct connection of SSD*
So it’s really a luck of draw if your ssd works or not with an iPad
Can i still do this even if I don't have an iPad Pro? I bought the standard model 8th gen iPad, so can I still do this with a Lightning to USB A adapter? I have a 5 TB portable hard drive (not an SSD), and I would love to be able to use it with my new iPad. Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Also how much would a hard drive drain my iPad's battery?
I have a brand new 5tb WD portable hard drive that my iPad Pro 4th gen will not recognize even though I formatted using ezFat. The drive does work because my desktop sees it and reads and writes to it without issue. My question is does the iPad Pro have a HD size limit that would cause it to not recognize the drive? Appreciate your videos and also any assistance with this issue.
What dio you do to solve it? Same issue here.

Hi Omar, i was hoping to ditch my old MBP and buy the new iPad Pro. I was going to use two 6TB drives (1 being redundant) to hold my photos/videos etc. How would I be able to copy one 6TB drive to the other using the iPad? Is it possible to connect both at the same time?

What about playing videos, please? Bc u can't play any until u share it to a specific media player u have (one by one) which is annoying when u have so much videos.. isn't there a way to choose a default media player for these videos so we can play them immediately from the hard drive on the iPad?
If u didn't get it sir, just try to play a video from the hard drive on the iPad
