As promised, I've reviewed the available options (I prefer to use B&H Photo Video; Adorama will also carry the same products):
Depending on budget, there are two that "I" would buy if my requirements were the same as yours:
500GB Portable Memory Card Backup Storage
1TB Portable Memory Card Backup Storage
Reasons I chose this brand vs. Sanho:
1) Price-point is lower
2) Windows & Mac OS X compatible
3) USB3.0 compliant (with USB2.0 backwards compatibility)
4) 90 Minute battery life is decent for the intended purpose. An inverter in your vehicle can recharge, should it become necessary in the field.
5) 2 year limited warranty

Thanks! It's a Nikon D800. Most of my more recent stuff is with a Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens. It rarely comes off the camera since I got it.

Any thoughts of going to the D810? I doubt I will. Seems more like a slight update than an actual replacement.

that's exactly what I am looking for thank you. ill just now have to think about the price. its almost small laptop price, but of course this is a much smaller device and more portable
I went to microcenter last night (local computer store) and they were as useless as Best Buy and the other camera stores.

Me & Microcenter are well-versed (I live in metro Denver too).
A quick search of other 'purchase points' for said devices came up with just B&H Photo Video and Adorama.
Before you go to Mike's Camera and lose your ever-loving-mind, don't bother. I won't give them the time of day.

My D800 isn't even 6 months old so no current plans for a D810. I agree that the x10 models seem more like an update than a full on upgrade. Right now the D800 does everything I want and a lot more.

Yeah I was having a lot of AF problems with the D600, especially in low light situations that I run into a lot on the trail. Often the AF couldn't get a proper lock or was locking onto the wrong thing when using multi-point AF. Did a bunch of reading on it and it seems that low light AF is one of the things the D800 does a lot better.

LMAO, sorry...Those guys 'try' but when I have to call 'em on BS then SHOW them they are wrong, I tend to just avoid the insanity (had a sales guy tell me that the Canon 5D Mk III only had a CF card slot; called him on it when I was their to do a hands-on prior to purchasing elsewhere).
When I showed him the camera had a CF slot and an SDHC slot, he was rather embarrassed!
When it comes to photo gear, I now only deal with:
B&H Photo Video
UniquePhoto.com
2Filter.com (for LEE Filters, if Unique Photo or B&H do not have in stock)
and if absolutely necessary, Adorama (they are ok, just not as game-on as B&H in my opinion).

Oh man. When I lived in NYC I swore I would never go back there again. I have caved a bit as I've ordered things from them online, but I'm holding to the never going there in person!

Dude me too!!! I got into it with the top guy at Nikon to replace it but he wouldn't. I am so pissed about that more than the spots issue. Did you just sell and upgrade? or were you able to work something out with Nikon?
I feel like I had better AF on my D5000 than this thing.

Nah, I just bought the D800. Not sure if I'll hang onto the D600 as a backup or eventually sell it.

Does anyone around here use Final Cut Pro for any photos or editing? I use my Go Pro Hero 3 Black, plus my Canon. I am really looking for something more Mac friendly as everything I own is Mac. i.e. my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad mini, iPhone, you get the picture. If anyone has any cool phone editing apps they know about I would appreciate that too.

That's all I use for video. And that's my current profession. Video production.
