Anyone using something like this in the field? Seems like a nice idea for downloading footage while at a shoot:

Only issue I can see is the 5.0MB/s max speed...would take about an hour to drop 16GB card.

I think ultimately its cheapest to just have a few cards and a card reader so if you have to dump them you can, but will have backup cards so the time won't matter.
I've got a netbook w 10 hour battery, 2 16gb cards, and plan on getting some kind of usb powered hard drive so that I can dump the footage to the netbook and then to the drive for backup. I don't trust any kind of storage so I always make sure to have a backup. Once everything is on 2 locations I can clear off that first card.
