Digital Foci Photo Safe IIWith the introduction and popularity of digital cameras the necessity of data storage for digital cameras has become more and more important. At home, the home computer is an obvious choice, but when you are away from home on your much deserved vacation and taking photos to your heart's content, your options for digital photo backup and storage are not so clear and fairly limited.
There's nothing more frustrating than being on vacation and filling up your digital camera memory card; preventing you from taking more photos. Some people are compelled to lug their laptop computer with them just for the purpose of storing their digital photos. Since most people won't really be using their computer on vacation, it's a waste of energy, space, and a dangerous risk to bring it along for the sole purpose of having a place to copy photos from the camera memory card. The computer is heavy. It takes up space. You run the risk of having it stolen or damaged. It's just too much of a hassle to worry about while you are supposed to be enjoying your vacation.
So, here's the Photo Safe II, designed specifically to solve this problem. The Photo Safe II contains a small sized, high capacity hard drive with memory card slots to copy the photos directly from your digital camera memory card to the hard drive. It runs on rechargeable batteries that are user-replaceable through the easy-to-access battery door on the front of the device. The 250GB capacity hard drive can store well over 40,000 of your digital camera photos.
After your vacation, when you get home, simply connect the Photo Safe II to your computer by the USB connection and you have access to all the memories from your vacation. Using your computer, you can access the Photo Safe II hard drive just like you access the hard drive on your computer. And since data backup for all your files is so important, the Photo Safe II - with its large capacity - can be conveniently used as your computer hard drive backup device as well.
