In Firewire Host mode you can offload directly from camera to a firewire disk... however, the first step will to allow the camera to erase and prepare the drive (any info on the drive will be lost).

The camera will set the drive up as unallocated space and each card offloaded will result in a new partition being created, partition size matching the capacity of the card. Note that FAT32 seems to have a limit to the number of partitions per disk... seems to me 16 was around the limit. Since I use 16gb cards and offload to a 300gb drive, I will never fill the drive to capacity. Worth considering when you are selecting a drive.

My 500 generally takes 22 or so minutes to offload and verify a 16gb card.
