Battery-Powered USB Enclosure

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

An anonymous reader pointed us to a story about a battery-powered USB disk enclosure. It operates on AA batteries. It's aluminum, and is sorta meant to offload data from cameras. It's only 2.5 inches, so that's not totally unreasonable, but I'm still struggling a bit with the 'Why' part of the equation.

    Disconnect your television. Do your own research. Draw your own conclusions. They're probably lying. Don't be a sheep.

    Only about $6000 if you go buy the cheapest price here.

    I'm sure djrok212 could get a nice discount for buying in bulk though.

    The case is made of aluminium. Think about your breathing. It measures W80 x D140 x H14 mm in size and weighs 80 grams.

    Whoa, aluminum. It will match my powerbook.

    It's not really that big either. It's about the same size as a HD based audio player.

    Actually the AA batteries probably died.
