I understand your concerns however the CompactDrive even though it can't review images has small LCD which displays both capacity remaining on the HDD and the total card space used, it also verifies whilst copying. I tested it quite heavily before I committed it to real file storage plus I fitted an old (trusty) drive to it, I have full trust the system now. I've not had a CD or DVD that I've produced in the last five years that wasn't readable in any other non-problematic drive. Good writers shouldn't pop out coasters or incompatible discs these days.
