After about 2.5 weeks of waiting, my HyperDrive Space casing has arrived.  I’ve installed the 30gbHDD that I aquired from a friend, and the unit is currently charging the battery.

The unit seems to be well made, the casing although looking plasticky seems to be manufactured of anodised aluminium, as it has a definite metal feel to it.  Installing the HDD is a breeze using the tiny screwdriver supplied in the box, and then is simply a case of turning the unit on and formatting the HDD.

The format is quick, and I’ve tried copying a few files from a SanDisk Extreme III 1gb card.  The transfer seems to be swift, but I will reserve judgement until I have a full cards worth of images to transfer.

First impressions are good, and I’ll post back more information once I’ve given the unit a good try out.
