Devices That write photos to portable hard drive w/ CF cards?
I'm looking for one of those devices that lets you stick a CF card in, write all you images in and save them to the device, then deletes and reformats (optional, not automated) all you pictures so you can reuse the cards but still retain all you images. WHAT IS IT? I'm pretty cheap, and assuming these are also cheap, I would rather use this than buying forty CF cards in seven days. Also, preferabely portable, as in I can save them on there in five minutes when I'm hiking in Canada, stick it back in my pocket or rucksack or whatever (also, size is important-preferabely compact) and just keep walking up that mountain. How much can it hold? What's the cost? Quality build? Types? Etc. Etc.?
Please give me more info if there IS such a product
It sould save my life if I didn't have to spend so much on CF cards.
What you are looking for is "image bank" or "photo bank". They run about $120-200 and use 40-100 gig hard drives.

I still have somewhere my MindStor - one of the oldest such devices, when they just started to appear, that has 10G hard drive and is slow as hell. It really saved my life on some foreign trips, back in the days when flash memory was expensive (I'm talking about times when 256M card ran over $100) and allowed me to shoot away without thinking... but...
Today, when you can buy for about the same money 10G worth of flash cards - I don't see a point in using one. Here are my reasons why:
1. You have multiple cards, if one of them is lost due to accident or stolen, or broken - you only lose portion of your images.
2. Hard drive has moving parts. It's much easier to damage it than solid state memory. I was sweating like hell over bumping it into something on all my trips when I used it. It's best not to take it on to hikes, but to leave it in hotel room, and be very careful with it.
3. If all else failed, and you ran out of space - there are many many shops around that will happily burn the content of your flash cards to CD's or DVD's and erase them for you.
So today, I see absolutely no point in investing in one of these image banks. But if you insist - follow the link above for a few choices....
Good luck with whatever choice you made,
LEM.
