PD70X CompactDrive is quite good, but a bit bulky. Check out the Services Offer/Wanted thread, there is at least one who will rent the PD70X.
Other that I know are Nexto and Vosonic (all can be found at East Gear) and if your budget allow, you can check out the new storage device from Canon, the M30 & M80 or from Epson, the Ep-3000 & Ep-5000.

You can get adapters for the "big" to "small" "head" but you can't just connect a USB hard disk to a camera because a camera is expecting a host PC on the other end, same for the USB HDD.
To TS: sorry for OT.
For myself, I have a digimate(the cheapo portable HDD) with 40gb.
Been using for 2 years plus and countless transfer.
Oh, I can't remember when was the last time I charge??? Battery seems to last forever or maybe it charge itself when I plug into usb.

Agree on the battery part :devil: Lasting forever :thumbsup:
Get two portable hard disk for your travel.
One HDD in your day pack and the other HDD in your hotel.
"Two is one and one is none".
When travelling, I'll carry my Epson P2000 in my daypack and a NEXTO CF in the hotel. I would recommend the NEXTO CF as it is much more lighter than the PD70X.
HTH.

Thanks for the heads up, man...
eh P2000 is a portable hard drive rite, then how u direct transfer? Cos i was thinking for travel trips, i may not wanna lug my laptop along..the only 2 options are tonnes of CF or a hard drive
well the digimate is only $80+/- (excluding HDD) if you get it from simlim.
but do note the copying speed ain't fast.
i have a pd70x but its practically brand new. with today's CF prices its probably better to buy extra CF cards as they are hardier (as opposed to sensitive hdds), lighter and more compact (by a few hundred times!!!!!!) and don't require you to carry adapters/ batteries.
