I've been using HyperDrive for some 4-5 years, and I am rather happy with it. Today, its reader part is too slow for SD cards (8 GB card takes 40 or 50 minutes), - but still, it's nice - I can insert the card, stick the drive in the bag, and it will do the job, while I am shooting something else. Plus, it verifies the copied files.
The current version of that device is ColorSpace: http://www.hypershop.com/HyperDrive-COLORSPACE-UDMA-Casing-Only-p/hdcsu-000.htm It also supports image preview, and claims being much faster (2GB in 1 minute). If I were buying one, - I'd buy the casing only, and buy an HDD separately,- it would be much cheaper. A netbook option is also viable, - but it requires "attendance", and it's larger in size.
