I/OMagic takes its external GigaBank drive to 500GB

I/O Magic seems to be all over the map with its GigaBank offerings, as the company jumped from six, to eight, to 100, and has now introduced a "high capacity" (read: no longer pocket-sized) version housing half a terabyte of external storage. While not swerving from the beaten path paved by all the 500GB alternatives that came before it, the GigaBank rocks a "steel gray, oval aluminum enclosure" and a presumably lonely USB 2.0 port. Thankfully, the company tosses in a cable and swears the drive plays nice with both Windows XP and OS X-based computers, but you shouldn't expect a whole lot of extras for just $279.99, anyway.

Funny thing is that they are offering 250GB I/O Magic external hard drives at Best Buy on Black Friday for just $69.

lol, i have 2 external drives already, and im in need for a third, this time i wont make the mistake of getting something so small in space. (biggest storage one i have is 160). this 500, sounds gooood, and kind of affordable? maybe i should wait more time, externals seem to get cheaper and cheaper with more space.

What kind of person wastes their time commenting on someones pointless comment and criticizes them for not saying anything about the product while not actually saying anything about the product themselves? Looks like somone is in denial... Bud.
