Like the Braun Pixel Bank, the SmartDisk Photo Bank is purely a storage device and the most inexpensive unit here.

However, per GB, the Braun unit’s 60GB drive beats the 40GB drive of the SmartDisk, for just £20 extra.

The unit bears a striking resemblance to its Braun rival, with only slight design differences.

The Photo Bank has a full set of card slots and a grey 1.7 inch LCD with no picture viewing options.

There’s one-touch transfer which is quick and simple, and USB 2.0 transfer to PC.

With identical features, design and handling as the Pixel Bank, the Photo Bank loses out to the Braun’s higher capacity at only a slightly lower price. But it has a UK plug.

Braun offers a bigger capacity
