Psp External Hardrive Apparently (40gb)

[gary.mckeown]

i've just read on pspupdates that theres a external hard drive 40gb (PSP BANK) going to be released and on the message boards for it some people have said that these work better

http://www.supermediastore.com/apacer-shar...ubmission051122

does anyone know if this is true and where they sell such a thing in the u.k?

cheers

i know you cant run the movies straight from the apacer thingy but it beats carrying around my pc to transfer my mp3's & movies lol

Gaz.

*EDIT*

just looked at the pic and there's a built in card reader so there'll be some sort of file management on it

its just an external hard drive that can make use of usb host mode

can't really see the practical value of something like this

better just to spend the money on extra memory sticks

 

[gary.mckeown]

but this 40gb (£78) works out just a little more than a 1gb stick (£55-60)

Yeah but how are you going to use them?

You need a card to transfer to...

 

[gary.mckeown]

i've got a 1gb & the shitty 32mb card already

 

[Iorgy77]

How do you delete files off the mem stick on the go? Is there a file manager?

 

[gary.mckeown]

yeah i think there is, u just slot the stick inside the hdd i think and off u go

you shall not use ***updates!

 

[gary.mckeown]

huh?

looks liek it works the same as that MP3 Player someone was using as a 20gb or so Hard Drive for the GP32

 

[gary.mckeown]

i've got one of those nomad mp3 jukeboxe's but i dont think it would work as there's no way to get the files from the mp3 player to the stick.
never mind the 1gb will do for now :-(

where could you ever really justify needing that much storage for the psp? surely your battery would give up before you could make any real use of any amount of date beyond 2gb?

 

[gary.mckeown]

for storing - storing movies, tv shows, game backups so i dont have to carry my cases around, mp3's.

 

[spray]

can't you just store them on your pc?

if its a case of lack of space, how much do similar sized hard drives go for these days?

but you cant carry your PC around with you

so back to my original point

when could you ever legitimately need to have that much data for use on your psp?

if anyone says holiday i will cry, i can understand taking a psp, couple of games and a memory stick, but 40gb worth of other crap?

 

[Steve-O]

long holidays

​

Heh - I agree! The way I see it, 1Gb is far and away enough for me! What do people pay to go on holiday for if all they're gonna do is play on their PSP? If that's the case, PICK SOMEWHERE MORE INTERESTING TO GO

 

[gary.mckeown]

i've gone off the idea now, think i'll just get a 2gb stick instead
