The only two PSDs I've had any experience with are the Epson P2000 and CompactDrive PD70X. Both work well with 1G SD files, and I've tested the Epson P2000 with 2G SD cards and both K10D/*ist DS files, but I don't own the PD70X so I don't know how well it does with 2G SD cards or K10D files explicitly.
I think the "HyperDrive" brand models are identical to the "CompactDrive" models. I would go to the B&H Photo website under storage devices and look there for appropriate products rather than using Google. In general, if it is a decent quality photographic produce, B&H will tend to have it.
