Very fast photo and video backup for vacation or work. Takes all card types and is very durable and compact. Don't try using your ipod as a photo backup like I did. It is so slow compared to the wolverine. Fast transfer means less frustration.

This device is my "Don't go on vacation without it" item. It has slots for both my DSLR camera and my little point and shoot (CD and SD cards). I just pop the card out of my camera, insert it in to the Wolverine, click on Full backup, and a full card gets transfered in about 20-30 seconds. Add an additional 30 seconds if you have video on the card. Then I put the card back in the camera, erase all pictures and start fresh. No need to carry (and lose) extra cards. No need to carry a laptop.

I can usually back up about 15 or so times before it even needs recharging.

Then when I get home, I can easily transfer the pictures from the Wolverine to the computer. For me the easiest way is just to use Windows Explorer to copy them over since the Wolverine is basically a big hard drive.

I don't think the FM feature is useful. It's very static-y.

I've used mine for photo backup at weddings, and its very good and fast for that application, but my iPod broke and its great for music and file storage, too. There's even an FM radio that picks up most radio stations. Highly recommended.
