Anybody used one of these photo storage keys?
It looks on paper very good, but as the vast majority of the photos i have are in RAW (CR2 files) i'm not sure if it will recognise them when it is searching the hard drive?

I looked at one of these a while back (or something similar, I forget the name) but couldn't see any great advantage. Looks like RAW isn't a problem though, from the FAQs:

"We use an average photo file size of 2MB for our calculation. We picked this size for our calculation because it is the approximate size of an 8MP photo saved in a .JPEG format. Some file sizes are much larger, such as camera RAW files, movie files such as .MOV and .MPEG4, and photos taken with cameras that can take photos greater than 8MP, so the number of photos that can be stored on ThePhotoStick® Omni can vary."

Had a quick google around and it seems this isn't the only one on the market, you pay a lot of money for 32gb. Unless there is something I am missing.

OK, musnt have looked hard enough.
I quite like the way it connects to different devices, but perhaps there is a premium for that.

Checking capacity I don't think its big enough either, I have about 150gb.
