X's Drive VP-2030

For free, for computers, IBM offers a utlity that circumvents the 32GB limit.

It might be useful for xdrive setups as well (by configuring the >32GB hdd with the utility via a computer, then moving the hdd to the xdrive).

Not sure if anyone is still discussing these (or the X-drive II), but I'd appreciate hearing any comments on the reliability/usability from those of you who've had this for awhile. any suggestions on specific hard drive models with good reliability?

thanks.

These items are all very nice and cheap compared to what I am after,but this X drive you mentioned to start with does it always come without a hard drive or do you just have an easy option for upgrading, and can someone explain how they save it .. like is it in date / time folders or do you have to use the card details each time? or just in one great mass ? and what is the likely hood of failure ?
