Archos Gmini 220Professional photographer Stephen Voss used the Archos Gmini 220 and Apacer Disc Steno CP-200 portable storage devices during a recent trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Find out if they proved to be a reliable way to back up and store digital images in Stephen’s review.

“After spending a considerable amount of time looking at various portable hard drive devices (and reading many opinions about them on various messageboards), I decided that a combination of a CD-based backup device and a hard disk-based backup device would do a pretty good job in protecting my images. Along those lines, I decided on the Apacer Disc Steno CP-200, since it supported disk spanning (i.e. I could copy most of a 1GB compact flash card to one CD and the rest to the next CD) and seemed to have a decent battery life. Secondly, I chose the Archos Gmini 220, which I think is a fantastic, overlooked mp3 player/photo wallet.”
