Online price is good- bring your own laptop HD- downsides are it wants both the CF cards *and* the laptop drive to be formatted FAT32 (which seems to leave things firmly planted in 32G max size mode for the drive.) Too bad it's so picky- esp. on the cards, I can't seem to get it to read even a FAT16 card.
However, given the price of 40G drives, making a 32G partition and living with the missing 8G is still not a bad deal. Note that CF cards go in "upside-down" if you get one, took me a bit to figure that out.

They sell them with drives too- second bring-your-own-drive reader I've seen this week- I hope it's a trend!
