This Olympus S-HD-100 hard drive can work with your PC like any other hard-drive but it is specifically designed for use as auxiliary storage of images taken with the Olympus IR500 and IR300 digital-camera models. You can use it to download and organize images from those cameras. When connected to an IR series camera, the S-HD-100's built-in computer checks to see if an image has already been downloaded so only new images are transferred. The conveniently rechargeable S-HD-100, at about 10 ounces, is a practical large storage solution when taking your Olympus IR-series camera on long trips and serves as a simple, efficient, and economical image file system when at home. PC Compatibility - PC/AT compatible computer (equipped USB2.0 or USB1.1 port) using Windows Me/2000/XP
