Digital Foci has announced the Mac compatible Photo Safe II, a “photo companion” with storage options of 80GB and 160GB, as well as built-in memory card readers. It costs US$139 and $189, respectively.
To use you insert the digital camera’s memory card directly into Photo Safe II to free up expensive memory card space and reuse your card. When you get home, simply connect Photo Safe II to your Mac to retrieve your saved pictures.
Photo Safe II copies the entire content of your memory card with its one-touch “Auto Copy” button, which features copy speeds of up to 5MB/second. The device works with all popular card formats, including CF (Extreme III, IV, UDMA), MMC, SD/HC Card, miniSD, Memory Stick, MS PRO, MS Duo, MS PRO Duo, and xD-Picture card.
Photo Safe II copies all file formats (including RAW images and videos), in their original file name and file structure. Its icon backlit LED screen shows key system information, including operational status, battery life, remaining hard drive space, and active partition (Photo Safe II supports multiple hard drive partitions).
A copy status indicator displays: percentage completed during copy; copy confirmation; and number of files copied upon completion. When connected to a computer, Photo Safe II also functions as an external hard drive and memory card reader.
