The HyperDrive Colorspace UDMA2 is portable storage device that’s ideal for on-the-go photo backup. It includes a 500GB SSD. Key features include:
Memory and File Options. The HyperDrive Colorspace UDMA2 has both SD and CF memory card inputs, and boasts a 27MB/s card-to-device transfer speed. It recognizes both JPEG and RAW files from nearly every camera manufacturer, and lets you view your photos on its 3.5-inch color LCD. It also includes file-management and organization tools.
Wireless Image Transfer. The UDMA2 offers a host of wireless features. You can use it to access copied data via Wi-Fi connected devices such as an iPad, iPhone, Android, or computer through an FTP client using the included Wireless Adapter. You can also copy files from the UDMA2 to your Wi-Fi connected device. The Wireless Adapter itself defaults to an ad-hoc setup, meaning it creates its own wireless network so that an internet connection is not required. You can also use Infrastructure mode to connect UDMA2 to an existing wireless network, so that you can stay connected to the internet while accessing it.
Photo-Recovery Options. This device has a photo-recovery option that allows you to recover images from an accidentally deleted or formatted memory card. We can confirm this recovery option works quite well, but we don’t recommend deleting a card of images just to test it for yourself.
Reliable 500GB SSD Included. While most other portable storage devices use spinning hard drives to store copied data, this HyperDrive Colorspace UDMA2 with a 500GB SSD drive. SSDs are more secure and less likely to fail than hard drives, so you’ll have one less thing to worry about on your trip.
