Toshiba pushes out stylish 400GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive

Nothing too special about Tosh's latest USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive -- just a good lookin' 400GB unit that should slide into most average sized cargo pockets on the market today. The 6-ounce drive is available in "Electric Blue and Black" (pictured) as well as Carbon Grey, Hot Rod Red and Gecko Green, and while pricing has yet to be revealed, those looking to size it up can chew on these dimensions: 0.65- x 3.19- x 5.0-inches. Not too shabby, huh?

yay?

That thing looks photoshopped to buggery. I wish companies wouldn't do that cause I'm always disappointed when I get the actual product.

I wonder if it's actually that shiny...

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 23rd 2008 4:59AM]

Nothing to see here folks, move on.

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 23rd 2008 5:06AM]

wow!!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 23rd 2008 5:18AM]

Unless this is amazingly cheap ...

[Adamgs Posted Sep 23rd 2008 5:59AM]

This is great news, oo look a blue car!

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 23rd 2008 6:12AM]

I've had the 320GB version of this for over a year, this isn't news...

[Raul7 Posted Sep 23rd 2008 6:23AM]

Well it is..
Since unlike yours this is 400 GB
And guess what? 2.5" 400 GB drives were released not so long ago
So it is new.

If they take away the blue stuff and the Toshiba logo ... we can talk again.

How is this POS "stylish"?

[Fat Wombat Posted Sep 23rd 2008 7:21AM]

Sorry, but that isn't beautiful.

they are all black ... the coloured lines represent the capacity

green >>> 160GB
red >>> 250GB
gray >>> 320GB
blue >>> 400GB

I bought a 320 six months ago , nice drive

recently , though , I found this ...
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-500GB-2-5-USB-External-Portable-Hard-Drive-500-GB_W0QQitemZ380065163420
(not my listing)

I have a case like that in the eBay listing for another drive I have
very slick ... about half as thin as the Toshiba drive and ~6mm less in length and width

Ain't it cool? :D

[phenixone Posted Sep 23rd 2008 9:24AM]

Hey !!! get the 500GB Spinpoint from Samsung ....

Just bought it for my mac .... now I don't even know how to fill it up !!!

Put this little big disc in a portable case, paint it black and you get an even better portable drive than this one !!!

PS : looks like an olsiPod with stupid blue stickers ...

[Chefgon Posted Sep 23rd 2008 9:05AM]

Something about that design is bringing me back to the 80s.

[Shunnabunich Posted Sep 23rd 2008 9:55AM]

The 80s called, Toshiba. They want your definition of "stylish" back.

[conscious Posted Sep 23rd 2008 10:08AM]

anyone scroll by and hope for a second that was a PMP or a phone?

[(Unverified) Posted Sep 24th 2008 4:42AM]
