Tux snowboarding is awesome!

I backup to Blu-ray and other devices e.g: phone, laptop, ($10 rummage plus $15 to replace screen-glass) kindle fire HD (2nd-gen I rooted with CyanogenMod-12.1-20151212-NIGHTLY-tate for now,,, ) Pi, email &c... I've probably only had\used one USB drive in my life (for school.) SD's took over, prone to fingerprints if not careful and like USB plugs bring ware, tear and dirt. I'd like a wirelessly enabled but portable SSD maybe a DIY?

Edit: added the link.

Maybe a raspberry pi with wifi configured as an AP, with a external hard drive attached? Have it serve up the external drive via NFS, CIFS, SSHFS, etc. (Or maybe gopherfs if it's still around? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher...haracteristics)

Pi was my first thought I see some searching "wireless portable SSD" not too pricey considering I'd need to buy an SSD either way...

Or just a Pi connected to ethernet + a self-powered USB backup device, via ssh or rsync?

Off-T: I have a few good, thrift stores again, (can't win if you,,, gamble, was gonna say "yadayade don't play" but won't support throwing money away) Belkin UPS batteries one of which I hookup in a backpack with a pkc0aj +USB-out, could throw in an old HD with this old USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Combo Adapter I've got, Pi and WiFi; would make for quite the workout?

If anyone wants to take an ESD course they'd find out that metal conducts Electro Static Charges. You don't want metal to throw a jolt into the device.

I posted the correct production products.

Generally speaking if you don't have the production products then you could use paper or wood as they tend to not only prevent conduction but they have a bit of shielding.

Most plastic makes static and it is a bad choice. Special conductive pink or metalized plastic shield plastic has been made for ESD safe use. However Pink doesn't have any shielding so you need to use it in an ESD safe area.


Saying all that, I've washed usb drives and they seem to be fine. I'd also static shocked one in winter putting it in a laptop and burned it and the laptop out.
