Storage for SD card

by Tr144er Oct 18, 2013 6:43AM PDT

I have bought a couple of the sandisk extreme 16gb sd cards to go with my Panasonic hc-x920 but need a storage option when on the road.

Instead of buying several more cards or the expensive larger cards is there a decent storage device I can transfer all the data from the sd cards at the end of the day so I have the two cards clear for the next day shoot.

I don't have a laptop and don't fancy taking my iMac with me across the country.

Thanks

Old laptop

Have an old toshiba laptop I will take. Thought as storage hdd was so cheap nowadays you could get one similar cost with an sd card reader. Also just found a site that sells 64gb sdhc cards for £24 (bout $40) so much cheaper than I thought.

Is this XP?

XP has a limit on the size of SD cards.
