Default Photo Storage Devices that use SATA hdd

I'm doing research on which PSD to get and I noticed that most of them only take IDE hdd and cannot take SATA.
So far, I only remember the Vosonic being able to take SATA.
I would prefer to get one that uses SATA because I already have a SATA hdd that is not being used... so this would save me $ for hdd and also make use of that hdd.

Anyone knows of any PSD that can use SATA? Pls let me know. Thanks.

Is this the one?
http://gadgetsmore.com/product_info....products_id=38

It says IDE leh... or maybe u're talking about another version?
How fast is the high speed version? So far, I've heard people say that the Digimate III transfers slow and uses a lot of power.
Anyone can share their experience with this high speed version?
Where to buy and how much?

Nothing is really wrong with it... what's wrong with checking out other stuff before I make my buying decision??
Just wanna find out what other options I have.

Exactly...

What type of battery does it use?
How bad is the battery? Like how many Gb can it dl before dying?

Oh, that's not that bad... Maybe they improved on this new version.
Thanks a lot, noob sniper.

Btw, is the Digimate III high-speed OTG?
That means can connect it to other devices to transfer files without going through the computer.

Thanks... I saw this before...
Yah, it's one of the PSD that I'm considering... if I have the budget, would like to get this.
If no budget, then go for Digimate lor...
