Flashpoint 500GB Portable Picture & Data Storage Hard Drive with USB Interface & Memory Card Reader

I bought this for photo and video storage for a trip to costa rica so I didn't have to bring my laptop. This thing is less useful than a brick. It errors out any time I try to copy files onto it from the memory cards for my DSLR or my waterproof P&S. It behaved flakily when plugged into my win7 pc and it also behaves flakily when plugged into a macbook. The instructions might make sense if I understood Engrish. I am currently in the boonies of Costa Rica and have few options. When my cards fill up I'm done

Really happy with the size of this portable drive. I am going on a safari and need to back up my photos every day. Easy to use and you can check the download by watching the amount of gigs left on the hard drive. Only drawback is not being able to see the images but if you keep track of the amount downloaded you can feel secure. Easy to use and fast download. Excellent choice.
