Couldn't a person just use a regular sdhc card that is much less expensive and manually use to backup files?

Yes. However, this device is accompanied by software that controls the back up process automatically - on the fly. Your backup is therefore always up to date - provided you set up your pc to allow these actions. Of course, it is somewhat configurable. Personally, I didn't explore all of the options available. I installed the software, and set it to select just the files one would expect to back up, such as word processing, spreadsheets, .jpegs, mp3, etc. - no operating system files.

sdhc cards won't fit in an sd slot. you can get one on Amazon for very cheap

Using a USB cable is an option, but for me it has been easier to just plug the SD card into my laptop. And on computers lacking an SD card reader, I use an adaptor.

Not sure but in all likley hood it will be cheaper to just get a 32gb micro sd card (approx $25) and put it in rather then paying for extra storage (usually $50 extra). the only disadvantage is speed, but for most applications (ie taking pictures/video and playing music) an external sdcard will be plenty fast Fast Micro SD card: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1386167203&sr=8-4&keywords=32gb+microsd+cards

SDHC works like a champ, I believe it can handle up to a 16Gb card...Fred Dagg seems to have provided the thorough answer below.

Card version dosen't have a hard drive in it. The SD card is sold separate.

SDHC CARD (at least that's what is written on the little thing) Hope that helps. I don't think the amount of storage makes any difference.

Hi! The SDHC card is too big. The camera doesn't read the compression. The camera takes SD plain cards, up to 2GB, not HC. Hope this helps. :)

WOW, I can't believe I've done that a hundred times at least. It is a lot easier than it looks.I better mention to everyone, that you do want to download your photos first, as the FORMAT is a total deletion. That's the idea, to clear the card completely, so there's nothing left behind to slow the processing down. And it should be done in the camera the card is being used in, not the computer or a second camera.

Well anything over a certain amount, usually 4GB is considered SDHC and may not work with it. Since there are no replies I figured I'd post this tidbit.

I'm sorry, but I am not a techie and don't know what an SDHC card is. I tried the usual SD cards that come with a digicam. It worked. Hope that helped.

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps!Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

Actually a regular sandisk can :) it's just some people don't want to click a simple button on there comp. plus I use other usb that aren't even sandisk and they work as well, so ps lover ether buy the name brand Xbox usb or be like every other intelligent gamer and get a normal one. It's not rocket science

I never try that... but maybe the best way is sharing the SD once is in your PC.Good luck,Vicente

I'm having the same problem using a Sandisk 64GB, 30MB/s SDHC card. Packaging says it can handle "up to 64GB SDHC card". Yeah? Which one? Guess we'll have to run it by the manufacturer...good luck.

I have never done, but I've heard of people that did it perfectly. I would recommend further investigation on brand selection, and also try to use top of the line SD cards. Check this out: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/sdhctosxsadapter.html Hope it helps!
