[Leica] Travel Hard Drive?

[GRduprey at mchsi.com (GRduprey@mchsi.com)]

Chris,


Unfortunately most of these do not support dng format, so not sure these 
will help. ?I do as Tina does, and take my mac laptop on trips. ?I have a 
bag that holds it along with my cameras and when in one location I leave it 
in the hotel or car. ?I did this on my recent 6 month trip, work just fine.
