Hello Mr.Jerry! If a 4K video clip shot on an Ipad of the same 524 Mb size is transferred via lightning adapter to an external SSD drive, will it take the same time - 13 seconds or much longer? Reply please. Thank you!
So caveat seems to be you need an apple computer or device to always use since APFS doesn't natively work on Windows. I believe there is software you can get to read APFS on Windows but haven't looked into it
Just my 2 cents on this. I’m doing this on an iPhone XS Max with a genuine Lightning to USB - to much to my dismay, the non powered one. If only I had the powered one, I could have used USB 3 but like this, iOS tells me that it’d need more power so I’m stuck with a USB 2 thumb drive. Now that I reformatted it to APFS, it “only” takes a whopping 5 minutes to copy a 1 Gig file. Guess this is the fast one - with exFAT I literally gave up on it. Anyhow, I guess you might be better off with an iPad(?) and it doesn’t hurt to have the powered adapter if you want to get “up to speed” with a USB 3 drive. Once again, was just my 2 cents, I appreciated the vid, it did give me back hope that it was at least doable although USB and the iPhone is not really how you imagine life in the fast lane…
Argh. I use windows and android phone, i have an ipad only cause i need to use stuff like procreate and ps on the go and android doesnt get support for these art apps... Looking for solution for this slow xfer rate and looks like i be better off still with cloud xfer for my art files 😑
Jerry Schulze thank you, i will have to try that... i have a portable ssd for my art files but the xfer rate back to drive is really driving me nuts... esp when i do bulk transfer
For a long MAC user, it is basic knowledge that MacOS have the same issue (access FAT32 @ 20mb/s) , unless installed paragon NTFS for MAC, you can access FAT32... @ full speed with MacOS. However, paragon NTFS for Mac does not have ios version...
I have iPad Pro MTXR2X/A 2019 model. The download to thumb drive is extraordinarily slow. Like hours for a small file. It's on USBC. Do I need the Apple powered adaptor too?
No you can not format on iPad. I discussed some of my disappointments with iOS 14 and one of them is that they did not add more usb drive functionality.
What can you do if you don’t get the scheme as soemthing you can change, only name and format? I only get Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Journaled), MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFat
@@JerrySchulze Thank you so much for replying! It’s just that i don’t get the bottom box for the scheme. It just won’t appear. It’s a 128gb usb-c stick and I’m on big sur.
Jan Vandlíček yep, that is a problem. You may need to use a friends computer to do it. I thought about going to the Apple Store to do it but probably not a good idea.
@@janvandlicek7898 did you get to format the drive on a friends MAC and then transfer your files to a regular PC? Please share because this is my issue. Did it work?
@@JerrySchulze yeah. its unflexible as hell. the apps are a joke because they consist out of advertising except you pay for em. no working adblock for youtube. the usb support is a big joke if you try to copy bigger files because its slow as hell... these apple guys were not even able to program a progress bar.
Drechen Lard I agree with some of your concerns although ads in free apps are not something they are really responsible for. I actually have a video on making your iPad more like a laptop and it involves less apps and more Safari. Sorry to hear you don’t like the iPad but thanks for watching.
Should you get a Refurbished MacBook Pro? th-cam.com/video/BXB3ccN6GQk/w-d-xo.html
what if i don't have a mac and need those files from my iPad to my windows laptop so I use the flash drive but the slow coping is driving me crazy??
Weird, my mac Monterey 12.2 Does not show partition map options and does not have a format option of APFS
Thanks for the tip Jerry
You bet! Hope you come back for more.
Great video! it is not possible to format the USB stick in this format directly from the iPad right?😅
Correct.
Hello Mr.Jerry! If a 4K video clip shot on an Ipad of the same 524 Mb size is transferred via lightning adapter to an external SSD drive, will it take the same time - 13 seconds or much longer? Reply please. Thank you!
Same. It doesn't matter what the file is or what created it. Its the size.
@@JerrySchulze I thought it would be a HUGE differrence due to the different ports - Lighthing vs Usb C
Can you tell us what kind of USB to iPhone lighting converter device adapter you are using?
It’s the Apple adapter and you can find it in the description. Thanks for watching!
Have you tried the hyper drive? I want to be able to transfer files from an SD card to an external hard drive
You can do this with a usb-c hub or dock like the CalDigit SOHO.
Thank you very much. It's really frustrating when you want to copy large files.
It is somewhat faster with thunderbolt on the M1 but still not as fast as it should be.
So caveat seems to be you need an apple computer or device to always use since APFS doesn't natively work on Windows. I believe there is software you can get to read APFS on Windows but haven't looked into it
There is software available, I haven't tried recently.
I could find all these options for format, it is only 2 options for Fat and nothing for Apfs, any Tipps?
Thanks

For a Windows computer I would connect to a network share using the Files App and move the file that way.
Jerry Schulze thank you, i will have to try that... i have a portable ssd for my art files but the xfer rate back to drive is really driving me nuts... esp when i do bulk transfer
@@-l485 Ya, wireless network transfer may be faster. The Files app is super buggy and sometimes need to reset the phone to get it working properly.

Nope, just format in APFS if you can. It’s just slow.
If you format the drive like you’ve mentioned. Would you be able to plug that usb into a TV and watch that video file?
Can I format this on an iPad?
J. Newton Wright I don’t think so
Nope, and that's one of my beefs with iOS 14 😬
No you can not format on iPad. I discussed some of my disappointments with iOS 14 and one of them is that they did not add more usb drive functionality.
Jerry Schulze Do you know which format is the best after APFS?
Jan Vandlíček I tried both Fat and Fat32 and they were the same. I did not try hfs+.
What can you do if you don’t get the scheme as soemthing you can change, only name and format? I only get Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled), Mac OS Extended (Journaled), MS-DOS (FAT) and ExFat
I think you need to change the bottom box 1st.
@@JerrySchulze Thank you so much for replying! It’s just that i don’t get the bottom box for the scheme. It just won’t appear. It’s a 128gb usb-c stick and I’m on big sur.
I am not sure I can help without seeing it. Have you googled around?
I tried all of them. Only the APFS format is the fastest . macOS extended journal is even slower than exfat.
Hey Jerry, just bought a 128 gb usb c san disk flash drive. New 11 inch ipad won’t read it, not in ex fat, not in apfs… nada
What if I have only iPad, iPhone and Windows PC and I can’t format by USB on nether of these two iOS devices, and Windows doesn’t support APFS
Jan Vandlíček there are apps on Windows which enable reading and writing to APFS 👍
David Radkowski cool, but how can I format the drive to APFS without MacOS device
Jan Vandlíček yep, that is a problem. You may need to use a friends computer to do it. I thought about going to the Apple Store to do it but probably not a good idea.

apple is just pathetic and overpriced. im going to sell my ipad pro 2020 and im glad about this decission. apple: NEVER EVER AGAIN.
Is there a specific reason you don’t like your iPad?
