Digital Camera Reviews and Ratings By manufacturer:
Canon | Casio | Fuji | HP | Kodak | Minolta | Nikon | Olympus | Panasonic | Pentax | Samsung | Sony | Misc. | Accessories | Lenses
The Vosonic X's-Drive Pro VP3310 is a 9-in-1 storage device with a 2.5inch 40GB hard drive, 2.5inch LCD and is compatible with all styles of memory cards.
DP Nowreviews the Vosonic X's-Drive Pro VP3310 and writes - 'Although Vosonic has endowed the X's Drive Pro VP3310 with a smart and stylish new look, the simplicity of the product is its key advantage. You aren't paying for a lot of additional features you may not value, like a colour preview screen and video playback, etc. The addition of a back light for the mono screen is welcome, but it should have been in the original X's Drive Pro VP300 anyway. Don't get too excited by the VP3310's very limited MP3 player capabilities but they might come in useful. Finally, while we don't care much for the unintuitive screen-based user-interface, the core task of reading cards and copying their contents is done simply and easily, though we'd like to see future models work faster.'
PhotographyBLOG reviews the Vosonic XS Drive Pro VP3310 and writes - 'The X'S Drive Pro VP3310 is a definite improvement over the original X'S Drive that I own. It's faster, more stylish, has added (although limited) MP3 playback capability, a backlit LCD screen that allows you to check what is stored on the device and is just as easy to use. At £200, it has the added advantage of not having a lot of competition - perhaps its main competitor is another Vosonic model, the IC Drive VP3610, which for only £10 more offers the same hard-drive capacity in a smaller and lighter body (because it uses a smaller 1.8 inch laptop hard-drive). The IC Drive does have a much-reduced battery time, just over 1 hour versus the X'S Drive Pro VP3310's 2 hours, doesn't have the backlit screen and you can't upgrade the internal hard-drive, so you will need to weigh up the pros and cons of each model before deciding.'
