OK here is the problem. I would like some way of storing while away from home (holiday etc).
I could buy extra CF cards and they are quite cheap, but I wondered if one of the large storage devices would be better.
Something like the Image Tank, the cheapest of these devices I have found with a quick search is a 20gb @ £149.
I estimate I would need about 6/7 128mb cf cards for a 2 week holiday and these would cost approx £180.
Now here is the rub I am also in the market for a external hard drive working of the USB.
Does any one have any knowledge of the Image Tank or similar devices and can one use them as an external drive from the computer i.e. can I save files to it from the computer (it would be used mainly for backup of files and images)?
I hope the above makes sense.
Regards

Hi Pete,
Have you thought about the Apacer CD steno > its a portable CD writer that reads compactflash & writes the images to a disc.
Ok so its not a hard drive but if you shoot digital SLR it allows raw file storage immediately suitable for archiving. If interested Andy Rouse has a review of this on the Warehouse Express website.
Cheers,
Steve
Thanks for the tip steve, but as I said above I am trying to combine the 2 and have external storage in the field + extra HDD at home.
