Usually this is plenty for a week's trip but I'm heading off for a 6 weeks trip soon and will need better storage. Considered buying more cards or taking a laptop, but these picture storage devices (like Vosonioc X-Drive) look good. Anybody have any opinions or recommendations (I'm in Australia) Hoping for speed (USB 2?), rechargable (mains and car?), good screen details (file info, space, charge), portability, reliability, card compatability (CF a must, SD would be good too). Do any of the units allow you to download back to a card so you can review the pics? Pete
