Storage

[milou]

Hopefully I'm off to Switzerland soon. I have a few CF cards (about 2gb worth in various sizes) but a mate has recommended that I get a Vosonic VP2160 40GB (http://www.vosonic.co.uk/vp2160.html) portable storage device (£129 at WH Express (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/index.cfm?photo/flashcards/mass.html?cd=20051514#vp2160) which comes with a free in car charger worth another 20 quid). There's no photo viewer screen which I assume keeps the cost down and 40gb of portable storage for £130 is tempting. My pal raves about his but has anyone else used one or something similar? Cheers

All you need is a laptop hard drive, which i have a couple 30gb ones here anyway !

Looks good, but havent been tempted as yet ! lol im such a coward !

I've got the VP6210 (40Gb) (http://www.vosonic.com/index.php?php_mode=spec&php_itemid=26), and it's much easier to carry around than a laptop and cost me £225. Transfer speeds are fast from the CF card to the unit, and then on to the PC. Mine can also play videos, mp3 etc. and uses a Fuji NP-120 battery, so spares will be easy to come by.

I use mine quite a lot for saving my photos, listening to music etc., exactly what it was designed for really, recommended.

Cheers - I have an old iPod for music (shame it can't be used for transfer etc) so I might go for the 2160.
