| I was looking into the x-drive and image tank and ran into the tripper. It seems to have a couple of features that my bf had noticed were lacking in the other two. Anyone have any experience with this device or insidecomputer.com? |

I've no experience with the Tripper, but it looks pretty nice. The drawback I see to it is that it only accepts Compact Flash. I like the X-Drive because I can use it with 6 different media. When I move to a new camera, I won't have to be limited by it being compatible with my storage.
Just a thought.

I bought a X-Drive form Inside computer on Ebay before Christmas. They shipped it out as soon as I paid by Pay pal. They also sent me a tracking number for FedEx. My only complaint with the X-Drive is the power button. It is not recessed, so as soon as something touches it, it powers on. (25 second auto shut off though). I fixed it by cutting out a cardboard doughnut and taping it to over the button. It's not elegant, but it pretty much fixed my problem.
That 15GB tripper @ 229.99 looks like a pretty good deal. I like the LCD display. The X Drive has not display, just flashing lights ... works for me.

I got a used laptop instead of the x-drive or digital wallet, as they were as cheap as the other storage, plus I now have a portable computer to edit my images while on the road.
