File Storage

[Michael_2010]

Anyone out there using any type of portable data storage device with built-in card readers?

Now that I am playing around with high speed continuous shooting I can fill up two 8GB flash cards in no time. Even if I end up with nothing worth keeping, I don't like to delete files until I've had time to look at them on my PC. I will probably get another card, but that ain't gonna solve the problem. I need to off-load the files to some other device in the field as I rotate through the cards.

I don't want to spend big bucks on something like this and I would like for it to be small enough to fit in a pocket. Any ideas?

Check out the Epson P4000. Worth every dollar. Saved my asss many times when away shooting.

Thanks for the tip. That is a little more than I care to spend and I don't need all the bells & whistles. Looking for something more like a small external hard drive that can read the cards directly and operate on battery power.
