SD card backup.

bruisedlee · May 21, 2008

I have a camera that uses SD cards, I am planning on going on a trip where I will be away from my PC for a few weeks. Does anyone know of a portable hard drive that you can plug an SD card into and it will back it up in case something happens to your SD card?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

There are many such devices. You can pay a lot and get one that has a nice screen for you to see the images. Cheaper ones may not be able to preview the images.

Image tanks....

I have two... an Epson P2000 and a Wolverine 40gb. Both were purchased several years ago. I like my Epson and I'm pretty sure the newer ones are even better. The screen is wonderful and gets a thumbs up from me for overall design.

The Wolverine is just ok for the price.... I don't like how the CF flash card sticks out when being downloaded and how it switches to battery power when connected to a computer via USB.

btw... Epson's website has a link to their clearance store. They almost always have some discounted.
