Portable Storage Device Recommendations
Hello,
I'm currently in the market for a Portable Storage Device, to be able to copy photos from CF Flash to disk, whilst on holidays.... Currently looking at the Vosonic, like at http://www.vosonic.co.uk/vp2060.html.... has anyone first hand experience of such a device they wish to share, or another brand to recommend? Cheers, Andrew |

Cheers, Andrew These write to CD, read DVD, battery or ac convertor operated: http://www.imaging-resource.com/ACCS/RDS/RDS.HTM Review of the same item with a different name: http://www.steves-digicams.com/2003_...onics_mfr.html I've had one for a few weeks. It works. My only wishes a it should be a little smaller and lighter; should fit in the very nice bag (supplied) without removing the external battery. Barring that, no complaints. I got mine from Addonics, two days turnaround from online order to front doorstep. Right at $300 with an extra battery. |

Cheers, Andrew I love mine, I think it is one of the cheapest out there and it does the job - don't waste money on fancy no use extra features.. When a battery driven portable storage device with dvd burner comes out, I will probably get that, I've tried the CD version it works, but they don't hold enough images if you are shooting RAW, you'll be logging too many CD's on a trip. ;o)-max- |

Vosonics had their original product, the VP2030, and then they shifted to a later product, the VP2060. They dumped the VP2030 units without any hard disk drive inside, so the empty VP2030 was being sold cheaply. I bought an empty one and a laptop-style hard disk drive for a total of $140, and it works good. Vosonics products seem to show up with different brand labels on them. ---Bob Gross--- |

It is USB2-compatible. I was SHOCKED when mine performed barely better than USB1.1 speeds and they finally admitted it wasn't HISPEED USB2. Tom |

I have the 2060 (aka x-drive II), and unfortunately it copies from the media card to the disk at about 1/2 the speed of other units, including the Image Bank I had before. Also, the battery isn't the longest lasting. -- Michael Meissner email: http://www.the-meissners.org |
