Get the cards off fast
Dual-slot reader, spare media, hard card case, pouch.
Dual UHS-II slots so I can dump A and B at the same time. Magnet sticks to the laptop; includes USB-C and USB-A cables. Not a single-slot UHS-I dongle.
ProGrade Digital Dual-Slot UHS-II SDXC USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 Card Reader
Fresh card ready when the dump finishes and I need to re-format for day two. Same 256 class I pack on Travel BTS; Extreme PRO UHS-I on B&H for a clean retailer link.
SANDISK SDSDXXJ-256G-GSCIN Replacement for SANDISK Extreme PRO SDSDXXD-256G-ANCIN | B&H Photo Video
Hard polycarbonate case with a water-resistant seal so full and empty cards stay sorted and crush-proof in the tech pouch. Removable liner; not a soft wallet.
Pelican 0915 Memory Card Case for 12 SD, 6 miniSD, and 6 microSD Cards (Black)
Hotel-desk home for reader, drives, cables, and the hard card case. Opens flat; zippers do not eat SD cards. Same Peak ecosystem as the rest of the bag.
Peak Design Tech Pouch (Black, 2L)
Redundant backup before you sleep
First landing zone off the cards. USB-C, fast enough for a late dump, small enough for the tech pouch. Buy two; this card is the primary.
Samsung 1TB T7 Portable SSD (Titan Gray)
Identical second drive. Clone before sleep so one dead SSD does not eat the job. Same B&H SKU; label Primary vs Clone with the Avery + Sharpie below.
Samsung 1TB T7 Portable SSD (Titan Gray)
Short cords for T7 ↔ laptop on a hotel desk — no spaghetti. Cable Matters 1 ft 3-pack.
3-Pack Short USB C Charging Cable 1ft in White Up to [60W ...
Date + job name on every drive before you sleep. Peel fast; sticks to the T7 shell.
Avery Easy Peel Address Labels, Sure Feed Technology, Permanent Adhesive, 1-1/3" x 4", 350 Labels (8162)
Charge and label for day two
Writes on Avery labels and drive shells. Fine tip so Primary / Clone / job code stay readable. Target 2-pack.
Sharpie 2pk Permanent Markers Fine Tip Black: Quick Drying, Water-Resistant, Art & Office Supplies, Ages 10+
Wall brick for the laptop or the bank while the dump runs. Tiny; lives in the tech pouch. Not the Nano power bank on the Speaker Bag.
Anker Nano Charger (30W)
Overnight top-up for phone + reader accessories without hunting a second wall outlet. 20K with dual USB-C — not the Speaker A1259 or Expo 323.
