Comments about Digital Foci Photo Safe 40GB Stand-Alone Data Storage Unit:
I purchased this before a trip in order to take as many photos as I wanted without worrying about running out of memory cad space. It served the purpose exactly as I hoped. Now, I use it on a regular basis and transfer to my computer once every week or so.

Comments about Digital Foci Photo Safe 40GB Stand-Alone Data Storage Unit:
Used for backup of CF cards on a trip to Ireland. Very easy to use - did a great job. Not sure that the battery will last for the number of card copies claimed by Mfg. Seems to be reliable, but have only used it for one trip so far.
