[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1624932, member: 234411"] BOY - 6 months on the road w/ a bicycle - just curious about where you will be traveling and whether you will even have Wi-Fi or celluar available (i.e. is your Mini cellular)? Of course, you will need some type of 'wireless' connection to even use the cloud for that purpose and would have to first transfer your images to the Mini - google 'Dropbox' & 'Apple iCloud' to read descriptions of what these services can do and the cost for additional storage - might be quite prohibited if talking about a TB or more? Concerning an external HD, there is no way to cabled one to the 'stock' Mini via the lightning adapter port but many 'wireless' HDs exist (as you already know); unfortunately, most of their features seem to be for streaming media rather than file storage; now, a jailbroken iPad might be able to connect, but I have no experience w/ those devices (check the iPad Forums where I'm also a member - there is a subforum on the topic). Now, there is a device called [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CT0BWHE/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]AirStash Adapter[/URL] which sets up its own Wi-Fi network and can transfer files, including images between an iDevice and a SD card; large capacity cards can be used, e.g. one could transfer a 'day's work' to the Mini, and then insert a backup SD card in the AirStash device and copy the images back - I own one and the process does work; however, GBs to several TBs of images would seem like a daunting task.
