When you’re on vacation, you don’t want to carry all kinds of extra external drives just so you can dump your photos. Well, Sanho’s HyperDrive Album will help in that regard. Problem is it’s way overpriced at $600.

The HyperDrive Album helps you clear out your memory cards and back up your photos without a computer. It has a 640GB capacity, 2GB per minute transfer speed, and a 4.8-inch display for viewing. It would come in very handy while traveling, but that price is a deal-breaker.

Seagate’s FreeAgent Go series hits 640GBSeagate’s giving its FreeAgent Go drives a new 640GB capacity. It may not be the first external to cross the 500GB threshold, but it’s certainly one of the slimmer ones, physically. Other than that, there’s nothing too special here.

It’s still the standard USB-connected with up to 480Mbps transfer with multiple color options. We don’t have any info on pricing or availability, but since Seagate’s posting promotional materials on its main site, it won’t be long.
