Looking for recommendations on portable storage for backing up drone footage so the device needs to be able to read micro SD cards. Thanks

I don't think there are any new storage devices. Maybe find an older Hyperdrive or Nexto unit. Usually you can use a microSD to SD adapter for the card. Another option is a phone and external drive.

Friend of mine had a NewQ Filehub where he did this together with an external hard drive and his phone as the main interface. It worked, but honestly, I was able to do something very similar with my phone, a USB-C hub, and an NVMe at roughly the same form factor.

Went this route, seems to work beautifully:

FYI, I found out that I do not need an external power source, my phone seems to provide all the power that is needed.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.
What kind of transfer rates are you getting with UHS-II cards?

I don’t know, the speed is fast enough for me, I’m just using it as backup when traveling, so speed is not critical to me.
