The Nexto Photo Storage ND2730 (500 GB) from Nexto DI is a handheld photo backup device for your digital camera photo files. Its built-in battery lets you backup your photos anywhere-without the use of a laptop. Whether you're on assignment or hiking in remote areas, the Nexto ND 2730 will enable you to quickly offload your memory cards-safeguarding your photos and letting you continue shooting. The ND 2730's 2 built-in slots are compatible with CF, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. The device supports high data transfer speeds: Most 32 GB CF cards can be copied in less than 8.0 min, while 32 GBSD / SDHC / SDXC memory cards can be copied in about 38 min.
You can also preview photo clips as either thumbnails or single photos with the built-in 1.44" color LCD screen. The LCD also enables you to confirm the download of your photos. You can even perform a bit-by-bit verification ("Copy & Verify"), in which all of the data on the memory card is compared to the data on the ND 2730 internal hard drive.
The ND2730 comes with a 2.5" 500 GB SATA hard disk drive with 7200 rpm. With its internal battery, the ND2730 has the following power options: AC power adapter, a FireWire 800 (IEEE1394b) cable and a USB cable (all included). A car charger and an external rechargeable battery are available as optional accessories (not included). Your photo backup device also comes with a leather case.

Comments about Nexto DI Nexto Photo Storage ND2730 (500 GB):
We bought this a 6 months ago the first unit did not work when we got it. The company said it was a battery problem and B&H replaced it. The new one worked for a 4 months and stopped working. The company that makes them says that they do not warrantee them. Do not buy this product it is junk. Works well when it works but is not reliable.

Was looking for something to use in the field to hold a ton of video and digital photo images so that I can keep on shooting. Often times, shooting in remote locations far from technology support. Great thinking and design.

Comments about Nexto DI Nexto Photo Storage ND2730 (500 GB):
I'm a professional photographer and wanted to have a safety solution for my weddings and other shoots. It is every photographer's nightmare to have a card go corrupt (beyond recovery) or go missing/stolen.
With this device, I can quickly (this is an important feature to consider) transfer my cards to the HD and then continue on with my work.
Yes, you will surely find cheaper models out there, but when it comes to my photos, reliability counts a lot. As well, the speed of transfer is an important factor. If you need to empty out a card to take more photos, the last thing you want is to wait a half an hour before being able to go back to shooting.
Overall, I would definitely recommend it.
