A review of the Amber X personal cloud for traveling photographers.
When I first heard about the Amber X, the main use case that I was interested in was carrying the device with me on trips in order to plug my XQD card into it and transfer the files to the Amber X and then to external storage. I planned on having 1 to 2 additional copies of my photos on external hard drives to ensure that if one bag got lost, I’d still have a second copy.
For my personal setup, I use my iPhone combined with an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter to first transfer the photos from my Sony XQD memory card to my phone. After transferring the photos to my phone, I then upload the photos to my Amber X device using the Amber iX App. The next item I was very impressed with was how much effort LatticeWork put into its app and online documentation. The Amber iX app on the iPhone was very straightforward to use and walks the user through the initial setup step-by-step. Anytime I run into any issues I’ve been able to resolve them by searching through the LatticeWork. I find that companies don’t always put a lot of effort into their online documentation, but LatticeWork is definitely one of the exceptions.
While having the Amber X connected via a Cat 6 ethernet cable on a Gigabit port and my cellphone running on the 5.8 GHz band, the most I could steadily get was 25 MB/s . That’s definitely fast, but the speed test I ran between my iPhone and router was showing a connection speed of 650-700mbps. So at that point, I feel like something in the Amber X is limiting the upload speeds.
