Pros: Nice way to backup your photos in the field. Cons: Copies the entire memory card each time. from Shopping.com I went on a school trip to Spain for a little over a week, and rather than buy a couple CF cards, I purchased this drive. And it's a good thing I did; when I came home, I had taken 40GB worth of pictures. RAW files take up a lot more space than JPEG files do, but I wanted the flexibility in postprocessing that the RAW format offers. from Amazon.com This is my second drive that bougth (first one was the erlier version) and both hava had failures eather wile tranfering from CF to Disk and Disk to computer. Use it as a backup, but never relay on this product to put your precios photos and delete them from te CF, you may have a terrible experience like me from Amazon.com I bought the Photos Safe for a recent trip to Yellowstone. I found the device easy to use and very reliable. from Amazon.com I bought the earlier version of this Digital Foci Photo Safe and enjoyed it. I am giving it to my brother since I bought this new version. from Amazon.com The digital Foci PST -251 is all it says it is: fast, easy, convenient way to protect your digital images. The battery life is, however, very short. from Amazon.com I actually tried two of these and sent them both back for a refund, and thanks to Amazon.com for the efficient manner in which these two transactions were handled. The reason(s) for my disatisfaction with the Foci product was that both of them were deffective and would not function properly. In the case of the first, a couple of the teeny-tiny terminal pins were mis-aligned, while the second one seemed to have a software glitch and would unfailingly generate an error message instead of unloading the inserted flash card. from Amazon.com I purchased this product prior to an eleven day trip to Yellowstone. I was camping and did not want to bring a laptop. I also did not want to build 11 days worth for photographs onto one memory card. So each night I backed up the photos to the FOCI and left it in my suitcase away from my camera. from Amazon.com Tested it for a few days before leaving and everything appeared to work great. Once I arrived in Europe, it started acting up. The battery flat out stopped working, so I couldn't transfer photos unless the unit was actually plugged into a wall. I copied photos to the device everyday. from Amazon.com The first time i used it, on a trip to Yellowstone last fall, the hard drive failed and it would not read the CF cards. Luckily, i had my laptop for secondary backup. I'd only had the photo safe for a week before my trip, so when we got home i contacted the company. They had me mail back the defective unit and replaced it promptly. from Amazon.com
