Hello Mark, CompactDrive and HyperDrive are the same thing, so I would go with a HyperDrive at www.hyperdrive.com. I have had my CompactDrive for quite a long time and have been happy with it. I picked it specifically because of the fast download time and long battery life for the downloads. Nothing fancy, but gets the job done.
