I am looking to buy a portable harddsik that includes a compact flash card
reader to empty my camera. I am a music lover and it needs to be an MP3/WMA
player to. Probably 40Mo +

Could you please relate your experiences of this type of peripheral.

- How long does it take to transfer a 512mo CF onto the hdd?

- Is there a one touch transfer operation or do you need to manually create
directories etc. etc

- How long does it take to transfer 512mo from the hdd to my computer ?

- What sort of autonomy can I expect ?

- How long does a full recharge take?

- Is it necessary to buy a model that displays the photos or is a display of
the file names sufficient ?

I am looking at Archos and Vosonic models. Any preference?

Thanks in advance
Steve
