Digital Photo Bank (20 - 100 GB)

1. 30 GB Digital Photo Bank (DPB30GB) by Rosemary Hoffman on 29/07/05

1st message on 28/07/05: It worked perfectly when I plugged and played and downloaded some pics from a camera. Can it also be used for backing up anything else and can you delete stuff from it as well? (reply: yes of course)

 

2nd message on 29/07/05: The computer manufacturere say the computer is designed for such a product suits even more useful that I thought. Thanks for all your help and I'll be recommending this to my friends. It might interst you that Digital Camera magazine talks about this type of storage but the sort they have have got a screen- personally I think that is a waste of time since you can see your pictures on the camera and can edit them on the computer when you get home,The sctreen ones cost over £150 to 300

3. Unitek Pendrive by Chris Nicholson on 10th May,2003

I have just purchased a Unitek 256MB Mini Flash Disc, in general I have found this a really nice product, just 2 little comments.
I have found it impossible to fit the strap attachment, the black cord is now frayed beyond use.
If a small metal ring was fitted to the device on manufacture it would be much easier, the black cord could be fitted & removed with ease at any time.

(*reply from Paul: Actually you can attach the black cord to the small cave first, it is a little bit difficult, and need a little bit patience, I have put one in with the help of a stapler pin in around 2 min when I tried the first time, then you can attach the longer grey cord to the black so you can hold it on you neck or on your belt with the shorter grey cord. )

It would be nice if it had a simple sleeve pouch it could clip into for protection against scratching & dirt.

I have also just purchased a Unitek Y252 portable 2.5" hard disk enclosure, again a really nice product, just 2 little comments again.
It would be nice to have a short USB cable (about 11 inches), the nice case could have an elastic strip down one side, the 11 inch cable could then be folded in half and slotted in the elastic strip suggested at one side of case keeping the drive and cable together, no one thinks about storage of cables for these type of things.

I enjoy having both of these products but for a few pence and a little thought at time of manufacture things could be improved.

Regards

Chris Nicholson.

4. Portable hard drives by Desmond Harte on 7th Aug. 2003

Firstly, thanks for a great, sensibly priced product. I'd begun to despair of finding an enclosure for my spare 30Gb 2.5" HD.... The finish even Matches my Powerbook exactly. I love the case too.

Secondly, Worth a note on the specs. The enclosure requires no drivers to run under Mac OS X 10.0 and up, not just OS 8.6 to 9.2. Provided the Mac has USB or Firewire, Just install an HD in the enclosure and plug it in.

Thirdly, in your FAQ's you say that you can't boot off the drive. Whilst this is true for Windies, it's perfectly possible to boot a Mac off either a USB or Firewire external drive. All you need is an operating system installed on it.

Fourthly, If I were you I'd do more to promote the product to the Mac market. The alternatives I've found cost lots more, are bigger and don't look nearly as good.

Fifthly, OK, this is a gripe. Loose the 'Pocket Hard Disk Drive' markings off it. It would look far slicker without it. ;)

Regards,

Des
