Why doesn't HyperDrive playback music or video files?
Last Updated: 07/16/2008
Our HyperDrive memory card backup devices currently do not support playback of music and video files as we have decided to focus on features that are more relevant and important to the digital photographer (i.e. backup and playback of photos).
Adding non essential features to our device will add unnecessary costs to our products.
Moreover, most customers already have these features on their phones or iPods.
