1.8" USB Portable Hard Drive

Posted by timothy on from the lervely dept.

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."

    I was talking to my shoe the other day and it told me that hard drives like this should only be given to the most elite programmers around not laymond. So after getting up off the toilet and flushing my brown stuff down I and having it confirm what my shoe said I decided I agreed with that opinion and now here I am posting it.

      How dare you mod me down, you moderators know it is true BSD is dying and linux is right behind it. Only Microsoft shall survive. One OS to rule them all, one OS to remind them, one OS to grind them all and in the darkness bind them......

    Why buy a fucking clue, an iPod is at least twice the size of this thing.

    I'm curious to know what something like this would be most useful for. I mean obviously there are some good uses, but why not just use DVD+-R or something?
