This device just arrived this afternoon. I’m taking it out on an event this evening. It is essentially a mobile backup device for Compact Flash cards. You can backup other digital storage mediums with a 17-1 adaptor but I see no use for that at this point.
What is so great about this over other mobile back devices is the speed that is can backup files onto it’s internal 60gb HDD. According to the specifications, it can backup just over 1GB a minute. That is astonishing! I have used other devices and they are so poor that they are practically useless. They tend to be very slow, and drain the device’s batter before you backups are complete. Also, it’s battery life can last for approx 40gbs of data backup from one charge. It comes with everything you could think of for photographer on the move including a belt pouch, car charger and a external rechargeable battery for extended use.
This article here goes into more technical detail. I’ll be posting a field test review in the next few days.
