I have come across this item:

http://www.delkin.com/products/connect/usbbridge/

If the EX1 is attached to this via a USB cable and if a 16GB (or 32GB) pen drive is attached to this Delkin unit, can we be able to transfer files?

I know that there is no way to check whether the files have been safely transferred or not, so it would be foolish to delete the files from the SxS.

But still. is it a possibility?

Says transfer for USB 2.0 device is at USB 1.1 rate - may be very slow to get 8 or 16gb files if it works. Without knowing files are safe, more SxS are required to continue shoot. Maybe a way to backup, but can't tell until checked on laptop, so almost why bother with time spent?
