I find it easier to carry two smaller storage systems such as a FlashTrax.
I keep one in my carry-on with my cameras and lenses and the other in my
wife's carry on. I once had an Image Tank fail and don't trust storing all
my photos on only one device. I store each flash card on both devices each
day before reformatting in the camera for the next day of shooting.
I don't want to spend my evenings editing photos so I don't miss a laptop.
The only thing I sometimes miss if the ability to resize photos to an email
size if I want to email some pictures to a friend.
