We have some vacations coming and I don't want to take my PC.
So, I went to Costco today and picked up (4) 2-Gig SD cards ($127) for storing photos.
I then needed to kill some time while Mrs. Zoom shopped and I ended up at OfficeMax.
They had something I hadn't seen before. It's a SmartDisk 40G drive tailored for cameras but works as a regular external drive. Click HERE for details.
For the price of (4) 2-gig SD cards, you can get this 40-gig unit. It costs $119 in the store.
Anyone know anything about it? Although in the box, I believe the dimensions are about the size of a pocket camera so you can take it with you.
Here's the details.
Features/Benefits…
- Easy to use: A single push of the copy key and data from the memory card will be transferred to the hard drive in seconds. The LCD screen indicates the transfer progress from each card location.
- Fast transfers: Designed with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface, this portable device transfers photos to your computer in a snap. It supports data transfers speeds up to 2-2.5MB per second.
- Power supply: The built-in 1200mAH rechargeable lithium battery charges in 3 hours.
- Compatibility: CompactFlash® I, CompactFlash® II, MicroDrive, SmartMedia, MemoryStick®, MemoryStick-PRO™, SD, Mini-SD and MultiMediaCard.
