    I don't have even close to 300.00 for something like that, though I certainly could use it, the memory storage thing.

    Do they ever go on ebay? Cheap? Any of you want to sell one, very cheap?

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I was amazed because they ar very close to the price of just an external 2.5" drive + enclosure and 1/2 the price of competing products. The 20G one is $200. maybe that will do for you.

    Preliminary usage report: This definitely fills the bill for travel.

    I tried a CFII 4gig microdrive and a 128M SD card and they both copied complete directory structures to the drive with no problem. The next test was to hook the drive up to the Apple PB17. I had to insta driver but it was painless. It comes bundled with "Retrospect" from dantz and Adobe Photoshop Album for Windows. There is also reinforced pouch with media storage compartments, a usb cable, a small power supply for recharging the Li-ion batteries and an adapter for XD cards. The built in slots handle CF I & II, SD, MMC, MS, and SM. Other 'tests' that I tried was switching the unit from HD to CR mode (card reader) and connecting it to the notebook with both CF and SD cards attached. The notebook properly saw the cards as 2 separate mounts.

    All told I am very impressed with this unit.
