NEXTO DI backup drives offer the ability to back up memory cards in the field without the need to fire up a laptop.
You can catch an overview of the NEXTO DI drives from Barry Morrill in the above video from the PhotoPlus 2011 show floor.
The NEXTO DI NVS1501 backs up and previews both photos and video from CF, SD, SDHC and SDXC cards. It will back up CF cards at up to 80 MB/s. The NEXTO DI NVS1501 does bit by bit verification, checks integrity of data, has a 2.4” LCD screen for checking imported media. You can download your images via USB 2.0 and FireWire 800 when you get back to a computer.
The NEXTO DI ND2730 is more of an entry-level device that comes in 500 and 750 GB hard drive capacities and offers copy speeds up to 86 MB/S, 1.4” LCD screen for preview. In includes many of the core features of the NVS1501; however, it does not offer features such as the shock protection and free fall sensor found in the higher-end models

Very cool, but extremely expensive. Would love to see a comparison done against the Sanho units as I have been looking at them for awhile now.
I take that back somewhat. The 2730 is pretty reasonable, especially in the 750GB configuration.
