Administrator Tarun Posted November 4, 2005 Administrator Share Posted November 4, 2005 This little thing is totally awesome and a must have for any tech. There are even two sizes. 2.5GB and 5.0GB. (I just got mine on-sale at Circuit City for $100.00, about $15 cheaper than the 2.5GB) With a USB 2.0 connection you can transfer files at 480 Mb/s. It quite literally fits in the palm of your hand. The pocket hard drive has a built in 7" long USB cable. Some people with a tower may need a USB cable extension.Drive Specifications:3600 RPM2MB CacheWidth: 0.71"Height: 3.03"Weight 2.2 oz. With unique shock-absorbers this can take a good drop too, though I don't recommend dropping it! It's hot-swappable, so you don't have to worry about powering your pc off to add/remove this handy little device. You can even password protect your files on Windows based machines. Sorry Mac users!

Synapse Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 looks pretty sweet. and from a fellow tech support guy i can see its potential.. hell could probably even make a script/batch file to update AV/Spyware Definitions/spyware programs/etc... using wget. could also see it if you have to reformat a customers hard drive, backup any music/pictures/documents.. 5 gigs should be plenty, if not could always dump it onto another computer then get the rest. now that i think more into it... windows xp is about 3-4 gigs... wonder if you could make a fully functional bootable windows xp from that... although last time i checked most bioses don't allow booting from USB...
