I've had the Wolverine ESP for the past 2 years. It works really well in the field. I have two different types of media cards that I need to back up and it does that perfectly. Let me know if you have any questions about the Wolverine.
I have a bunch of 2gig cards I use. As well as some 1 gigers.
CompactFlash memory cards...
Any problems with it seeing these and seeing raw data?
How about direct connects from the camera to the Wolverine ESP?
The Wolverine ESP is half the price and I am leaning towards it now.
I haven't had any problems with different sized memory cards. Their support has been fabulous. I bought a 40D the first day it was released and it would save the RAWdata, but not display the pictures, since they changed with the 40D. A few months later, an update was released, so now I can view the RAW data just fine. It will not play back Canon's .AVI movies from the P&S line, but it saves them just fine.
You cannot connect this device directly to the camera. You download data by mounting your data card in the Wolverine.
So, support, price & versitility is what sold me and I've been a very satisfied customer.
Cool, thanks for the info.
For half the price I should go with the Wolverine.
Epson does a few more things but I only need a good back up for storage without lugging around the laptop.

Memory cards are so low priced today, that even the Wolverine ESP $329.99 cost more than buying those 80GB in CF or SD cards
Yeah, but I use this device to listen to music, show my friends pictures, and review pictures when I'm doing a photo shoot for fine detail. All of which cannot be done on a card.
In these two shops. I'm sure in many others also. And you get them for a lot less than $ 329 if you don't like them to be fast.
and you can choose between
Ridata
Transcend
A-Data
And a few others. You can also take 8GB or 32GB cards if you like those

But I didn't reply for you He who asked wrote that he only need it for backup. And cards are a lot better and safer for that
I have not ordered from Newegg because I belive they only ship to the USA. But I have ordered about ten times from Mydigitaldiscount. And I usually never pay any custom duty or VAT when they ship.
I have a lot of the Transcend CF 133x UDMA cards. Both 16GB and 32GB cards

Absolutely correct. Memory cards are so cheap nowadays that PSDs are really useful only if viewing is required or their is a concern about having two copies of all files. I just purchased 24 GB (3x8GB cards) of Ultra III Sandisk compact flash memory from Adorama. After the rebate the cost was $2.95 GB. I now travel with over 125 GB and only use my PSD, and Epson, when I want to view on a larger screen. As Lars suggests, Flash memory is now the way to go for travel storage. By the way, I too have ordered from mydigitaldiscount without difficulty and the Transcend cards I have work just as well as my Sandisk cards.
