Vosonic X-Drive Pro 40Gb

[wahr42]

Hi,
Thought I might post about my storage device I took overseas.

Vosonic X-Drive Pro 40Gb VP300 $350 (they have a newer model now though)

Easy to see the value for money when compare to CF cards. I only have two cards a 256Mb and a 512MB and I was able to swap from card to card while transfering images to the X-Drive. 40Gb holds a lot of images, even in raw format.

Pros:
Quick and easy to use, insert memory card and turn on and push a single button.
Fast, USB2.
Battery life approx 1.5 hrs.
Comes with carry case and charger, case holds a couple of CF cards too.
Accepts all common memory types.
Good Price - Value for money
Plays mp3s

Cons:

Only a fairly basic display and controls, but adequate
No image review.

For a simple idea, very handy! There are quite a few of these out there now, The X-Drives are quite affordable and very useful when away from home. It's fun to be able to not have to worry about running out of space!

I also used an x-drive when I went overseas last year. It was fantastic and I still use it heaps now as an external hard drive. Mine was the older x-drive 2 so I had more limitations, such as not being able to look at the folder structure, however found it very useful. I have had 4 people buy x-drives after looking at mine!
