USB Drive for watching movies on a tablet
USB Drive for watching movies on a tablet
I'm looking for a portable device I can plug into my tablet/phone to watch movies while running on the treadmill.
I was going to go for a USB stick (Sandisk?) but saw a lot of comments complaining about the pendrives being notorious for overheating.
I'd appreciate some feedback/options on this!
Which tablet because I store movies on a micro sd
If you have a PC, put the movies on there and download Plex. Easy to stream to the app on your phone
I believe the one I have for this purpose is a Sandisc double sided. It has usb c on one and usb A on the other. Never had any issues with it over heating. I use it during summer camping too to watch movies and shows while going to bed
Thats the exact one I was looking at. Ill stick to a 128 like people said and get a new one when it fails. Thanks!
Flash drives are the modern day floppies. Use them and when the fail, get a new one. Stick with the smaller sizes for the best price per GB.
I have used these: https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/portable-ssds
They work great.
I also have a few m.2 nvme/sata enclosures.
I like this one the most - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RVC6F9Y
I basically just reuse old m.2 SSDs in them and they are functionally the same (and potentially more reliable) as the portable SSDs you can buy.
