I don't do much photography anymore, but in the early 2000's I used an "ImageTank", which was a laptop hard drive enclosure with built-in memory card readers. You put your card in, push a button, and it copied everything to the disk. There were lots of these "portable digital storage" devices back then -- ImageTank, X-Drive, Tripper, DigiBin, CompactDrive, etc. You might want to check out the Storage & Media forum at dpreview.com. They used to talk about these devices all the time, but these days my hunch is that people are switching to netbooks. It seems like the newer photo storage devices include lcd screens and are as expensive as a netbook. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Stand-Alone-Data-Storage/ci/3369/N/4294538846 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Stand-Alone-Data-Storage/c...
