I have connected it to the iPhone 10 and iPad.
There is no message for an update.
I use it with a USB stick and therefore cannot make any statement about an SSD.
Don't forget to plug the power supply into the adapter, otherwise there will also be problems.

At least when using my iPad Air 2, the Lightning port on the Lightning to USB adapter seems to be there only to connect the power adapter of the iPad so that the power supply is guaranteed - otherwise the iPad complains. The iPad even complains to me when I connect an externally powered USB midi interface to the Lightning to USB adapter in case the iPad's power adapter is unplugged - so even then, you can't use the Lightning connector for anything other than power. On the other hand, when using the Lightning to USB adapter AND the power adapter of the iOS device, an active USB hub can be connected (i.e. a hub that is powered externally). Thus, several USB devices, e.g. a USB midi keyboard and USB audio interface, can be connected and used simultaneously - and everyone is happy, lalala. However, a product specialist may be able to answer this question better than I can...

Hello, it works with my mini as well as hdmi

Yes. You van plug it to your iPhone 12, plug usb cable from camera AND plug an iPhone charger to power to transfer.

Better would be a flash drive like: Sandisk iXpand Flash Drive 64GB.
The camera adapter is optimal for pictures and video files.

I tried it once with my iPad Pro 10.5" (2017) and the Lightning to USB adapter and it works. This implies that it should also work on the iPad 6th Gen. The mouse I tested was the Dell USB UVDEL1. It may also be that a different mouse requires more power and therefore still needs to power the Lightning connector on the adapter. In any case, many storage media such as SSDs or USB sticks cannot be used without a power connection. This is not the case with the USB-C, i.e. iPad Pro (2018 or 2020), where the iPad has enough power with the connector so that all storage media and such can be plugged in. The Lightning connector simply doesn't bring enough power to the devices.
In any case, it is much more convenient to find a wireless mouse.
For those who don't know, all you have to do to use a mouse on the iPad is update the device to iOS version 13.4.
But the way to find the settings for the mouse buttons is still too complicated.

I have used this adapter for iPhone 6 and normal iPad. It works very well, but only with original image files from a camera and not from a PC.
I have this product: Apple Lightning auf SD Kartenlesegerät
Which is probably similar to the product you are asking about. I can't copy my pictures on an SD-Card, so I doubt, that you can do that with your product.

Hello, yes it is possible. But only photo and video.

I bought this adaptor hoping it was more of a general purpose USB adaptor and discovered it was not. To be fair, it does exactly what is described. That is, connect a camera to the Apple Photo import App. It also appears to allow a USB microphone connection. However, based on my testing I would assume that Clickshare would not work.
Hi, a Garmin USN ANT stick I suppose? it's a very specific usb stick, what use do you have for plugging it into the iPad? (this will help me to answer you).
I use it with a SD/CF card reader to
I also use it with an Ifi Audio DAC/amp and the compatibility is perfect.

Yes it works with raw and jpeg.

Does not work, just tried it. The message comes up that the device needs too much power. So the keyboard remains without function.
