I mainly use my ipad 1 to store photos, but the ipad is now full up.
Anyone recommend an external drive that means another PC is not needed to extract the photos ?
Thinking 500 MB or so
The hyperdrive looks like the one, but at £200 wondering if their are any other options..
Cheers

Western Digital, among others, do HDD's with access via a dedicated app, their MyBook drives are well regarded.
GoFlex Satellite - Bit cheaper I think.
Maybe DropBox or Google Drive would be better - have you considered using online storage?
Seagate network drives have an iOS app with them.
Or use Dropbox/other cloud storage?
Self edit...!
Online storage is too much for me..
Ok - about to buy this.
Seagate GoFlex Satellite 500GB
Although wondering if I should get a bigger home based verion as have no use of the portability..
Could you not use iCloud?
Google drive will give you 5GB per account.
You wrote 500MB - that's not much at all
I have one of these;
Seagate FreeAgent 3 TB External hard drive
plugs into router at home, works with iPods/Pads/Phone wirelessly, can access folders etc remotely. and 3Tb allows for me to back up devices to it as well.
Yep meant 500 GB
Google drive looks like a simple alternative.
Part of me wants to feel like I physically have the photos, but maybe that is based on unfounded fears.
Seagate FreeAgent 3TB External hard drive
Could be the one.
Feel like you physically have the files on a non redundant piece of hardware?
Google/Dropbox would be safer unless you invest in a Raid backup solution.
Jerome, specifically, this one;

gives the network access - think the freeagent may require a usb connection to desktop, sorry - picked wrong name off google.
Thanks Guys.
Will see what the other thinks of google drive as most of the photos are hers anyway..
