What's that, about £150 for 40Gb of storage? Looks interesting

And if you want to pay £90 over the current list price for a 40Gb hard drive....

Well, it does have a "nice" box, and I suppose it does the "transfer" thingy itself, but 2000% markup on the raw costs....

Oo-er. I never noticed it was from last year! I was just thinking that when it came down to about the price of a 1Gb CF card it might be worth considering as portable back-up and storage!!!

I have an older XS drive 3330(?) 40gig, plays MP3's too.

Works great, Was about £110 delivered from australia.

Its a bit chunky to replace an ipod but great for digital photography on the move.
