I will not be dealing with .raw files anyway. The files come off my cameras as jpegs. Thank you all for your advice.

I have been using an Innoplus for the past 2 years. At the time it was the most suitable on the market but now I would probably go for the Epson with its superior screen resolution. Having said that I have no intention of changing, being satisfied with the Innoplus. The screen is reasonable and my main reason for having that versus a portable hard drive is so I can see the images I have downloaded thereby ensuring they are there. (seeing is believing) Simply remove the cf card from the camera (Canon) and pop it into the Innoplus-wait a few minutes and hey presto, they're saved. Check on the screen, clean your card and off again.
I keep 3 1gb cards so mostly can download at night on the mains to save batteries but of course the opportunity is still there to use "on the run".

If you're spending that much cash, why not buy a laptop? Makes more sense to me.

Couldn't agree more, that's what I did for my forthcoming trip, mind you £450 will only get you a 40Gb unless you buy S/H

Model no PT-300P 40 gb.
The main advantage over laptop is the compactness. Innoplus fits in your pocket (14cmx9cmx3cm) and I find 40gb to be loads even though I take all images in raw giving approx 150 per 1gb card.

In my case the laptop will remain at my hotel where I can edit my raw files, and and my 20Gb x drive will be in my camera bag, which is probably the best compromise.

I think we've talked that one to a successful death Wolfie.

I can recommend not buying anything with 'Transcend' written on it. I had a 20 gb card storage thing from them that worked for exactly one day. Then it would only work off mains without recharging, then it didn't work at all.
