not too sure why this isin't on the altoids list. its a great project, and that list is really hurting for projects

interesting update - as per @mu nit, i ran a fake flash tester that successfully wrote and deleted to the micro sd card in the full 256GB capacity, still baffled by this little card but think i'll try writing my movie collection to it and see if they are actually readable after

So a portable battery powered NAS, how cool! Now my question is, how do you connect to it? Does the Wifi emitter send out a signal? What OS did you use for it seeing as my home NAS Pi is Open Media Vault

for this first one, I just did Jessie light with an smb server, next will be more like the pirate box so it'll have a web based chat and file upload, just without the reset each time you shut it off. and yea the wifi dongle uses hostapd and broadcasts an open wifi network with dhcp all set up. 

Interesting. You mind sharing the schematics? This would be useful for when I go to a convention! The only part in missing really would be a PiZero... Seeing as I cannot find one really easily

better check with a tool like this before using the card
