A Look at Excessive Portable Storage

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the makes-my-keys-really-hard-to-carry-around dept.

Tom's Hardware has an interesting look at portable storage devices that fall a little outside of the normal bell curve. The reviewed items include Buffalo's all-flash portable storage drive, Chaintech's flash SSD w/ an additional USB port, and LaCie's state-of-the-art RAID drive based on two 2.5" drives. LaCie's drive seemed to come out on top for usability and performance with the main downside being the $600 pricetag and lack of adequate backup software, but all had interesting advantages.

    Bell curve, eh. So what attribute are we plotting the distribution of? Oh that's right, it's a load of crap.
