If you shoot in RAW format, then the capture drive is not the best way to preview your photos even if you have one with a monitor. You should also be making a duplicate of your images in different places before reformatting your card.
Hooking up a USB reader to this and then processing your RAW files while you continue to shoot will allow you to review and edit images imediately after the shoot. I am currently using a RoadStor portable backup CD writer/DVD Player to create a master disk of my image files. I then download them into my laptop for processing and editing.
Replacing my laptop with this device will allow me to do the same with less weight and a smaller footprint while in combination with the DVD player aspect of the RoadStor I also have the ability to watch movies while on the road.
Everybody's digital workflow will be a little different depending on the equipment and amount of images per shoot and maybe most importantly how much time one has to finish the shoot.
