>
Wow, thanks for the quick help, Tina, Mehrdad, and Piers,

I think you're right--I am looking for something that will obviate the? 
need for a laptop. I like the price and size of the seagates, but to? 
download to them do I need to have my Mac?

If so, are the Vosonic and Epson my only options for this type of? 
thing? Viewing the shots would be nice, but not necessary. I just want? 
to back up RAW files from my M8 on to something small without the need? 
for my macbook pro. Then when I get home I want to easily transfer? 
them from the device onto my macbook pro.

I was hoping to spend more along the lines of $90 than $350, but I? 
will spend the $350 if necessary.

The epson and vosonic look great, but is there a device out there that? 
doesn't need a computer to download and is less expensive?

Thanks again for your help,

Craig
