Portable hard drive

JSCChan · Mar 10, 2003

I am thinking buying a portable hard drive that I can transfer the contents of my memory stick onto when I am on holiday, rather than buying more memory sticks. Are there any that I can get that allow me to use my USB on my P7 to transfer direct to (without a PC) and which is fairly compact? Also any thoughts on how good these are?

Thanks

Most work with putting the memory stick into the portable device and then copy files.

Don't know any that link up to the camera directly.

There is a device called Xs Drive (or better know as X Drive) its pretty cool has slots for all types of media. Cost about $79 if YOU supply your own laptop hard drive.

Or you can buy one with a hard drive in it for about $200

I am looking for any portable data storage device that I can just put my memory stick in or connect to my camera. Just seeing if it is more economical to buy one of these than to stock up on more memory sticks.
