I'm using an X-Drive II (as are a few people here) with an 80GB drive, it was much less expensive than any other similar products but it is pretty basic, no bells and whistles. It is a USB2 device and connected to my PC via USB2 interface it can sustain about 4.3MB/s from a card of the integrated HDD. However the transfer speed from the card to the integrated HDD is less spectacular, just over 1MB/s so a full 2GB card takes about 32 minutes. The internal L-ion rechargable battery is supposed to have a 6 hour life but I suspect it's somewhat shorter than this, I haven't yet tempted fate to find out.
