Some of you have extensive experience in software and etc. I have a
portable hard drive I want to download pictures to from my Digital Rebel
when on location. I don't want to have to buy another special
hard drive or lap top. What software can I use or how do I go about
setting this up to work. The drive is USB and DC 5V and I also have several card readers if that is the way to go.
Your portable HD is just a HD in a case, your card reader and camera act just like your portable HD. You need a laptop or a portable HD with a processor and some type of minimal I/O system to control the devices you mention. Sorry it won't work.
Hello Denise, Chip,
There is a cheap device which will does exactly this and copies files between two USB mass storage devices. You could use any combination of hard drive, flash card readers, MP3 player, etc with this device as a cheap way of backing up to hard drives (especially given you can buy small 2.5" drive enclosures for peanuts these days).
The device is the "Sitcom USB On-The-Go Copy Box" and is USB2.0 compatible and might be fairly fast.
