I use an X-Drive, about 65GBP from www.scan.co.uk without disk, add ~75GBP 
for a 20GB 2.5" 9.5mm HDD. It's USB, and not quick (~11mins to transfer a 
512MB card) but I just chuck it in my bag and let it get on with it while I 
carry on shooting on another card. It's a bit plasticky but has been 100% 
reliable, very simple 1-button operation. There is now a USB2 version at 
higher cost.

There are lots of posher, much more costly units  with built-in 
screens etc, but I don't think any of them display .CRW. Some rather out of
