Will this adapter finally allow for USB flash drive or external HDD use?
Now that this new adapter is powered and works with other peripherals, will the use of USB flash drives and external HDDs now be possible? Is it still a security and/or file system issue keeping those items from being compatible?

Dose the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter hold various SD card sizes, or just one size? By size I mean width and length not GB.

AnswerThis adapter does not accept cards (SD, miniSD, CF, etc...). This adapter allows you to plug in a USB card reader into your iPad/iPhone. So, to answer your question, as long as you can find a USB card reader that accepts the cards you have yes, it will hold various SD card sizes.

What types of things can I plug into the iPad Pro (12.9") with this adapter?
I don't have a camera that I want to plug in. I'm an amateur musician and I'd like to plug in stuff to record music. What about an external hard drive? Just trying to figure out the limitations.
