Doug,
Newer models are M8 worthy.
Best,

I have a hyperdrive HD80, available as a bare shell, you install the laptop
hard drive of your choice.? What I like:

USB connectivity to computer
fast copy from SD card (but see "what I don't like")
can use many types of cards
includes li-ion AA batteries, AC & 12-volt chargers
can use alkaline AA batteries

what I don't like:

no photo playback for confirmation
doesn't play nice with SD cards formatted by DMR firmware 1.3

The HD80 is an old model, Hyperdrive has several newer models and they
claim M8 compatability? www.hyperdrive.com

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
