I’ve been utilizing the set-up seen within the image under for fairly some time so as to use Exterior-Storage with my Ipad (Air, third gen.). It is an Atolla USB-A-3.0-Hub [item 3 in the picture] which connects to the Apple Digicam-Adapter [item 5 in the picture] and thence to the Ipad. When it is all linked up the Digicam-Adapter receives energy from the Apple 15W (5.2V, 2.4A) power-supply [item 7 in the picture] and the Hub receives energy from its personal 15W (5V, 3A) power-supply [item 1 in the picture].
The Lexar SD-Card-Reader I am utilizing on this means [item 2 in the picture] does not explicitly state on its packaging that it’s suitable with Ipads or Iphones—although it does not say something to opposite both—: it simply states that the system-requirements are “Mac OS 10.8+; Home windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP; USB 2.0+ port”, and I could not discover something additional about it on Lexar’s dysfunctional web site. I’ve examined it and when doing so it appeared to work—studying and writing information with the Ipad—with none issues on this set-up. Am I high-quality to maintain doing this? Is there any motive why this SD-Card-Reader wouldn’t be suitable with Iphones and Ipads moreover the plain bodily USB-A-connection challenge, which the set-up within the image works-around?
