I use Smart Portable Storage disk DigiMate II Plus, that is
absolutely cheap (comparable to memory cards - mine cost about 140
euros) and takes 40 GB.
It has several slots for several card types and it takes some minutes
to download the stuff.
In cold winter weather I keep it in my pocket and it works OK,
although slightly slower than at positive temperatures.
It does not show the picture, but I absolutely don't miss another
option of seeing some sort of thumbnails.
It has a small LCD screen for informing me about what's going on.
If I need quick preliminary sorting I can do it within my camera.
If I need to check or edit my images thoroughly I connect it to my
laptop via a cord (works like an ordinary USB 2.0 external hard disk).
Very pleased with it during the last 16 (?) months.
With regards,
Peeter
