Recently bought a couple HyperDrive Album’s to see if they would be viable replacements for my old Nexto eXtreme 2700′s. In short, the answer is a profound “NO!” I listened to all the talk and really wanted to believe the HyperDrive would stack up well, even knowing that the previous HyperDrive products I owned were pretty much junk. So, I dropped $500 on two Albums and loaded them with 500gb drives. In side-by-side tests with the Nexto eXtreme 2700, the Album is slower at both copying and verifying data. And when connected to the computer, the Album is practically useless. Took over 30 minutes to generate thumbnails for a directory of photos in Bridge. The same directory on the Nexto took just under 6 minutes to completely generate. Needless to say, I need fast devices both for backup and for post-processing. So, the brand new Hyperdrive Albums are going right on top of the junk pile in my garage. Lesson learned. I was just about to order a HyperMac external battery too, but I will not do so now.

Really want one of those Tri-Coasta Korean Zombi shirts. Maybe Jody will find me one at the expo today. :-)

Since about midnight last night, it has constantly sounded like a group of girls fighting in the hall outside the hotel room. Ugh…

Was awoken way earlier than I intended. Trying to decide if I should go back over to the expo later. I’m leaning towards no.

Just left the expo. Large groups of people I do not like.

Just watched The Boat That Rocked (aka Pirate Radio) with Philip Seymour Hoffman and my man @nickjfrost. Great flick!
