Cirago Smart Mobile Storage

Conclusion:

The Cirago Smart Mobile Storage device is a very handy tool, especially for photographers that like to go on extended trips with their cameras. It provides many features into a sleek design that a lot of people can appreciate. While it only supports FAT32, it maintains compatibility with a lot of operating systems, making the Smart Mobile available to everyone. With the ability to use the drive as a normal external enclosure, is an added bonus, allowing the mobility of more than just pictures, but files, music, and movies as well. The one and a half hour battery life really allows for many files to be transferred, as the device will only be powered for 15 minutes per transfer, give-or-take some, depending upon the size of the transfer. The viewing angle of the drive is a little disapointing, but for a device that does what the Smart Mobile does, a little tilt seems like a small price to pay. Even though it is not the fastest of drives, I was very impressed with the Smart Mobile - it does what it is meant to do and most importantly, it does it well.
