Vosonic X-Drive VP6210 & VP6300

[David_MC]

Anyone knows about these latest versions of X-Drive VP6210 & VP6300? It looks interesting product. It has built in LCD screen to view the pictures, play music and movie.

So far I only know that VP6210 uses the normal laptop 2.5' HDD and VP6300 uses the expensive and hard to get 1.8' HDD, which only comes in 20 & 40GB. How about in term of pics quality and speed?

Anyone??

I know that there are faster drives on the market, such as the CompactDrive

www.3hdigital.com

What do you mean by picture quality? Do you mean the quality of the
screen that's on them? I think the LCDs on things like that are pretty
much the same as each other. They're not really much good for anything
other than showing friends, checking composition and a quick review of
what you acutally shot. You cant really judge exposure or anything like
that.

the CompactDrives are good and quick (USB2) to download cards. You don't
need a screen to check the images - if you want to review images you
need a laptop computer which has all what a small drive has and a big
screen.


One thing a CompactDrive has is AA batteries which when flat and stuck
in nowhere you use non rechargeable to get you through. You can get
about 15+ 512 cards downloaded with a set of batteries.

However, I heard there is a problem with the PD7X. The PD7X not used voltage regulator which can damage the HDD. That's why i'm bit worried about this issue. Otherwise, it will be a great product.

Plus it comes with a car charger, so you can charge up your batteries in
the car.

They are supplied with a HHD so a 12mth warranty should apply. If that
stuffs up then it goes back. (unless you buy the case only)

Its recommended that when downloading the drive should be powered
through the mains supply. The mains supply is 7 volts and these things
usually run higher than that.- haven't checked this one.

The battery supply is 4x 1.2v (4.8V) so my guess that there is a
regulated supply built in to compensate the 7.0v charge rate.

I don't think that there would be many sold if there were a major
problem. I seem to recall something about an earlier model which had the
problems.

Also, if you download and flash the unit, you can set the software to
switch off if the voltage goes above or below certain limits.
