Digital Home Thoughts: Nexto ND-2725: Fastest Portable Storage Device?

"The ND-2725 sports a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive (up to 200GB) and supports just about every other memory card out there. Additionally, data can be backed up via USB and FireWire, including SxS and P2 cards from Sony and Panasonic camcorders, respectively. The company bills this guy as the "world's fastest backup device"."

The Nexto ND-2725 is a portable storage device that is used to backup memory cards using an internal 2.5" hard drive. It can also connect directly to some Sony and Panasonic camcorders and backup your videos. It claims to have error checking capability to ensure the accuracy of your data. Engadget is slightly off - it uses USB 2.0 and eSATA, not firewire, but it does let you connect just about every memory card made. It is pricey: the 200GB model goes for $539.
