Portable Storage Guide

Elite 4CE writes "If you're like me, you are always transporting data from home to work, and back. I was surprized at how many options there were to facilitate this. Hardcoreware.net have posted their Portable Storage Guide for 2005, covering everything from flash based devices that fit into your pocket, to huge FireWire drives with a capacity of 400GB."

    Why use a 100gb device to haul your files around? You can mod an iPod Nano to 200GB.

    So, apart from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

    huge FireWire drives with a capacity of 400GB
    Well that might be enough to store the thumbnails of my porn collection, but I'll wait for the portable TB storage, thanks.

    I swear.. we're all guilty here. Please stop lying. We all use the floppy disk. I don't care who you are (but more likely so if you're a government employee), you have a green floppy disk in your briefcase that has a masking-tape label on it written with pencil..

    I see this all the time.. people thinking they're cool on campus with their laptop and 1GB USB thumb drive.. plugging in a floppy to get at the 1.44mb of data they really need.

    LONG LIVE THE FLOPPY! *salute*

    I was going to suggest the iPod Nano as a good portable storage device, but now I am having second thoughts. Better scratch that idea!
