Hello:)

Im thinking about to get a new IPad.
I also want to use it as Backup for photos when Im in Holiday.

my question:
when Im import the raws to the iPad from my Camera, can i make a copy from the Raws on a external ssd for a second backup?

greetings And Thank you
 
I've tried a few USB Sticks, transferring a 1GB file from the iPad to the stick takes a 5 minutes

I just transferred a 996MB file to my 500GB T5 SSD in 20 secs. from 2018 12.9 Pro (13.4.1).

I mean, that isn't exactly great performance. I just copied a 2GB folder of files to a samsung 860 in an external enclosure in 4 seconds from my mac mini.

I'd call a factor of 10 difference slow like @jb68 did.

For what I do with an iPad, which will never be used to transfer a huge amount of data, it's fast enough for me. When I do need to move data like that, I'll use a laptop or desktop as you did.
