Photo Safe II backs up your photos on the go

You're on vacation and you want to take as many pictures as you possibly can. One problem: Your memory card is now full, and you have to run back to you hotel room to save those pictures in your computer. Sound familiar?

Digital Foci introduced a handy portable storage device called Photo Safe II that includes a built-in card reader that's compatible with most memory card formats, including CF Type I (including Extreme III, IV, UDMA), xD-Picture Card, MMC, SD/HC Card, miniSD, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MS Duo, and MS Pro Duo.

CNET says you simply stick the card into the card reader, press a copy button, and all the photos on the card are copied on to the photo vault in just a few minutes. Apparently, it takes about 3.5 minutes to copy contents stored on a 1GB card and about 11 minutes if you have a 4GB card.

The Photo Safe II drive organizes all your photos in individual folders every time you insert a new card, so you don't have to worry about overwriting its contents. It connects to any computer via a USB 2.0 slot and can be charged when it remains plugged in. This cool little photo hard drive is compatible with both Mac and PC and available in 80GB ($139) and 160GB($189).
