Like can I send it directly to the drive or do I have to manually get it on the laptops hd and then transfer it from there to the hdd?

    I wish I could answer for an iPhone, but I’m on Android. I was able to connect (via USB-SATA adapter) a 4 terabyte hard drive directly, format said hard drive, and back up all my phone’s files and data.

    Directly, no laptop needed.

    Sorry you have an iPhone though, I’m sure they expect you to be using their iCloud service…
