Do you ever go on trips where you find yourself needing to carry multiple flash memory cards for your digital camera simply because you take so many pictures? Better yet - you find yourself needing to carry around a notebook system to offload pictures onto! Well, the folks at Brandess-Kalt-Aetna Group (BKA Group for short) have introduced a new portable hard drive called the Sanho HyperDrive COLORSPACE which basically allows you to offload your images from flash memory cards without the need of a PC. The HyperDrive COLORSPACE is basically a portable hard drive with slots for 18 of the most popular memory card formats out there. The device even comes with a 2.2 inch QVGA color screen allowing you to playback JPEG and RAW images (there’s a larger version called the COLORSPACE O which features a 3.2 inch QVGA color screen). Features of the HyperDrive COLORSPACE include the following:

  • 2.2 inch QVGA screen
  • Support for CF Type I/II, MD, SD, SDHC, MMC, MS, MS MagicGate, MS Select, MS PRO, MS PRO MagicGate, MS DUO, MS DUO MagicGate, MS PRO DUO, MS PRO DUO MagicGate, xD, xD Type-M/H
  • USB data port
  • DC charging socket
  • user replaceable 2.5 inch IDE/PATA hard drive
  • Generic rechargeable lithium ion battery
  • measures 5.24 x 2.95 x 0.98 inches and weighs 9.5 oz
  • Support for up to 250GB hard drives
  • 25MB/s backup speed
  • 120GB of backups before needing a recharge
  • Built-in memory card recovery tools scan and repair bad sectors on any memory cards, recovering deleted, lost, formatted, or corrupted data
  • Operates like a normal hard drive when connected to PC

The larger HyperDrive COLORSPACE O features a 3.2 inch QVGA screen and support for 11 card types in the same form factor. Prices for the COLORSPACE are as follows:

  • 40GB - $259
  • 60GB - $279
  • 80GB - $299
  • 100GB - $319
  • 120GB - $339

This is definitely a device I’d consider getting in lieu of having to carry my notebook everywhere or needing to carry multiple memory cards which I might misplace or lose easily.
