PSDs

[dperrett]

I've been looking around for a PSD and have come across the Vosonic VP2160 X-Drive II+. Have scoured the web and can't find much about it. Does anyone here have any experience with it? Seems pretty good value for $115+HDD

Any other recommendations for PSDs? I know about the CompactDrive but would prefer not to get it due to the voltage issue. Not sure i'd want to trust it with my images. Also prefer a cheaper option which would rule out those with preview screens.

I've had an XS-Drive II for about a year, and was quite happy with it up until my impatience caught up with me. With a 256MB XD card it took about 5min to copy to disk. When I graduated to the D70 with the CF cards I went to a 1GB version, which takes about 15min to copy to disk and seems a lot longer. Your impatience threshold may be better than mine though.

The thing works fine, and is dead simple. One button turns it on, the other starts the copy. It beeps when it's done, and you turn it off. A battery charge (internal Li-ion) lasts about an hour and a half, which will let you copy about 6GB of files per charge.

I took it on hols last year and dumped about 1.5GB of data onto it, which was about 1500 photos and a few movies. No, not the D70...

I'm pretty happy with it, no argument that it works. If the CompactDrive had been around I would bought it instead though, purely for the speed. If you don't care about the speed or don't like the voltage prob, I know someone with an XS-Drive going cheap!
