Although the cards have reached the impressive size of today, they can still prove to be enough for some photographers, who take thousands of pictures in maximum resolution on during a visit. And if the meeting happens to be somewhere in the wild, a portable photo storage solution could be that will help users store their photos without having to carry around a notebook or laptop.

As Imaging-Resource informs us, an interesting solution has just been launched at Photokina of Sanho Corporation, namely Hyper Drive colorspace UDMA, resulting company's second Hyper Drive image storage devices. The device certainly has a lot going for it because, besides packing a very generous HDD (up to 500 GB), it also provides very fast transmission speeds.

Hence, the new Hyper Drive colorspace UDMA can UDMA 40 MB / s transfer rate, the backup of 2GB in a minute with full data control. The real-time CRC copy control ensures data integrity of the backup without increasing the download time, while SMART monitors the hard disk status and looks for potential problems. In addition, the built-in tools to retrieve data are formatted, deleted, lost or damaged files from the memory card.

According to the manufacturer, the new Hyper Drive is also the only image storage device in the world to show true RAW images from virtually any digital camera, even medium digital backs on its built-in high-resolution 3.2-inch QVGA color display, which orientates automatically to portrait or landscape mode, depending on how it is held. The device also packs quite a potent rechargeable battery, a Li-Ion battery, which allows up to 250 GB of backup copies per battery charge.

Another interesting feature of the Hyper Drive colorspace UDMA is the ability to mirror their data with other Hyper Drive drive or external hard drive via the USB OTG host technology. Incremental Backup can download the only new data on the card or a USB device, skip the previously saved data.
The connectivity is actually pretty much what one would expect of such a product. Thus, the device sports two slots to support 14 of the most popular memory card types (CF Type I / II, MD, SD, SDHC, MMC, MS, MS MagicGate, MS Select, MS PRO, MS PRO MagicGate, xD, xD Type M / H), and a USB 2.0 interface for connection to a host computer or another Hyper Drive.
