Amplio PhotoBank 20G

Given the high cost of memory cards, storing a large quantity of digital snaps on anything other than your PC can be very expensive. The Amplio PhotoBank is a portable hard disk and memory card reader that provides a more cost-effective means of stockpiling your data.

The device is fairly light and portable and is operated off a rechargeable battery. It's also very easy to use thanks to a logical menu system. Files can be transferred from your memory cards to the 20Gb hard disk without the need for it to be connected to a PC.

The PhotoBank is also USB 2 compatible, which means pictures and data can be shifted to and from your computer very quickly. Unfortunately, while it is compatible with CF (CompactFlash) cards as standard, the device is not supplied with a CF card adapter, which it needs in order to read other types of memory card. A 4-in-1-adapter is available, but this adds £20 to the overall cost.

The PhotoBank 20G is a useful solution to backing up your digital pictures but it's hard to justify the price tag.
