EuroFan Posted August 6, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Can we use the ship computer to tranfer data ( photos and videos ) from SD Card to an external USB hard drive ?!? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldBear Posted August 6, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2018 This may vary ship by ship - but if I were responsible for a public computer, I would disable any USB or SD connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare pierces Posted August 6, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It has been my experience that the computers in the internet café have the USB ports locked down to prevent unauthorized programs from being loaded and viruses. I'm not sure about the Macs in use by RCL these days but with the increase in Mac-specific trojan viruses and malware, I would be surprised if they would allow it. The IT folks on the ships seem to be pretty savvy and are unlikely to buy into the "Macs are virus-proof". Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Turtles06 Posted August 6, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I agree that you should not expect to be able to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroFan Posted August 6, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Ok, thank you! I guess will get the laptop with us 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Adobo Posted August 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Another option would be to use something like this. Using their app on your smartphone, you can transfer files from the SD to the external HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loonbeam Posted August 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2018 And lets be honest here, even if you could, you probably shouldn't. At the risk of inappropriate analogy don't connect unless you know everyone who has been in that USB port before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framer Posted August 6, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I just take a old 13 inch laptop it was an early USB3 adopter but today is cheap. Fastest is with a CF or SD adapter that USB3 compatible. I can transfer at about 100-200MB sec then transfer it again to a fast USB3 flash drive. That transfer is around 220-250MB sec. USB2 is two slow IMHO. The two was a play on word not a misspelling. framer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally there are no USB ports accessible, and the ones that are are disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
