Editing RAW photos on a USB drive! Yes, I did it with Kingston DTM30 16GB! Sounds a bit crazy but I have an Apple MacBook Pro Retina with 128 GB SSD hard-drive and I had to edit huge amount of RAW photos. If I upload them to my hard-drive, I would lose lots of space and, I risked editing them through a USB drive.

The result? It worked perfectly. I never thought that a USB drive would be capable of achieving this performance for editing RAW photos. Because, each of these RAW photos were around 23 MB and the performance of the Kingston was really good!

Kingston DTM30 was designed for USB 3.0 and this provides 70 MB/sec reading and 10MB/sec writing speeds. So, the performance of this tiny USB drive was amazing! In case you need to edit RAW photos, you can rely on Kingston DTM30 but with a USB 3.0 port.

How to transfer photos from DSLR to a smart phone to post at Instagram. This is the most important problem of social media. Why? Very simple, iPhone and other phones do not have a very good camera and everyone wants to have a higher quality photos on Instagram and other social media platforms. There is way to do it with iPad, you buy the memory card reader but it does not work with iPhone.

Kingston MobileLite Wireless has the solution. Kingston is well known for USB memory sticks but they are in a very business now! Wireless file transfer and mobile charger. MobileLite offers these features seamlessly. You can easily upload your photos from a DSLR camera through the wireless internet and you can charge your mobile phone.

I found this device very useful. You don’t need to find a computer to transfer photos from the DSLR to iPhone. With MobileLite, you take a photo with a DSLR and upload to iPhone/Android and directly to Instagram!

And also, you can upload the content from your USB memory to your iPhone or Android devices. Hopefully there is an invisible bridge between the USB memory and your smart phone.
