Jin-Wei Tioh writes "The folks at BlueSmoke take a look at Transcend's recently announced 1.8" USB 2.0 portable hard drive, the only one of its kind on the market. Roughly the size of a small stack of business cards, it is quite a bit smaller than existing 2.5" drives. It holds either 20GB or 40GB of data and is styled like an iPod."

USB vs Firewire by builderbob_nz · 2004-05-30 09:38 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I have an external drive for bulk storage on my Shuttle. It's just a simple 3.5" in an external enclosure that has USB 2.0 and Firewire connectivity. Given the performance of the solution I have, it leaves me with the question of why use USB 2.0 at all? Firewire has proven itself to be as a better solution for this sort of thing.
