Digital Photography is great in that you don’t need film, but it also is part of its problem, if you only have a few media cards like most people then you need to drag a laptop around with you if you are away for a few weeks to empty your cards onto.

\nA year or two ago companies started introducing portable storage devices, basically just a portable HDD to dump photos on, these all have built in card readers for multiple types of cards.
\nI have been looking at these products a long time and they all seem to have issues, mostly the card readers in them are slow, transfer speeds as low as 300kb\/sec has been noted in some of the most popular devices.
\nI read a review<\/a> of the Transcend Digital Album<\/a> and was immediately impressed with it. I bought one early January and only had chance to use it last weekend. I have to say I really love this device it is the perfect answer to the storage problem while on the move.
\nRead the Steve’s Digicams review<\/a> for all the details about it I agree with most of what is said there. The only irritating thing is that even though I bought it in the UK it does not come with a UK plug, only a European 2 prong and the same as used in South Africa, so I needed an adapter to get it going, other than that it is fantastic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
