Comments about Jobo GIGA Vu PRO evolution Data Storage Unit:
Product is not always intuitive to use and the user's manual is vast, but this unit did exactly what I intended it to do. Love looking at my images on it and can delete if necessary, but there is plenty of space on here. Definitely cuts down on the number of CF cards I need to carry with me and lets me have a good idea if I captured the image I intended without lugging my laptop along.
Pros
- None

Comments about Jobo GIGA Vu PRO evolution Data Storage Unit:
The first time I used my JOBO GIGA VU PRO-EVOLUTION, it corrupted about a third of my image files: JPEG and RAW. Since the thumbnails and filenames were intact, I mistakenly believed that I had successfully transferred the files from my CF card to the JOBO unit. However, when I transferred the files from the JOBO to my computer, I discovered that they were corrupted i.e., I could not open the files in any of my image programs including Photoshop CS3. Although JOBO offered to repair/replace the unit, I did not want to risk loosing more images, so I returned it to B&H for a full refund. I will never trust any JOBO product.
