Can't use below freezing

Dream portable would be this setup with added card reader to transfer from a dslr on the road, battery pack to operate on the road, wifi to transfer files to and from without a cable and being able to let it outside in ANY weather to use for a nice time-lapse external pack or even for a game/trail camera to store massive amounts of photo and video without sd cards.

Of course all those features would make it cost about $500 and I would never buy it LOL

The freezing temp thing is a bit bothersome though, I mean -

Temperature proof:
SanDisk SD, SDHC, microSD and microSDHC memory cards are capable of withstanding operating temperatures from -13ºF to 185ºF (-25ºC to 85 ºC).

- From https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/deta ... gnetic-and - shows sd cards can easily go below freezing so what is it with the memory inside the ssd that wont let it? maybe the controller is the cause?

Yeah, i'm not sure why an SSD can't go as low as a Flash memory card. It wouldn' t be the NAND Flash, but likely maybe the controller or DRAM cache chip?
