Samsung's S1 / S2 portable HDDs closely resemble Costume concept

We certainly hope that Joongoo Lee has a royalty check in the mail, because to the untrained eye, it looks like Samsung has taken the Costume concept we peeked back in July and made it a reality. The fashionable S1 and S2 hard drives include 1.8- and 2.5-inch HDDs (respectively), with the former arriving in 80/120/160GB capacities and the latter in 160/250/320/500GB sizes. The compact drives are entirely USB-powered and include a handful of expected backup / data protection features. As for colors, you can expect these in piano black, snow white, red wine and chocolate brown this month in Europe, while South Koreans will be asked to wait until November. As for the rest of ya? Hope you know a good importer.

She's not included in the price? :\

I always enjoy Samsung's young model+new hardware promotional pictures. Samsung, please keep releasing new product(model) every week...
Babe+hardware isn't the same as the old car+babe stuff?

"Do you come with the portable HDD?"

"Oh you! Tee-hee!"

She looks a bit too tired to be the standard gadget-presenting-hot-asian-chick

[Paradox @ Oct 7th 2008 4:42PM]

Hmm they look nice, but i wish they could work on a 1TB model. That would be great

[TJ @ Oct 7th 2008 5:04PM]

Sorry, no 1TB 2.5-inch HDDs yet. Please return in 6-12 months.

[who? @ Oct 7th 2008 4:42PM]

Maybe they should have studded it with diamonds and plated it in gold, nobody would WANT to claim this as their 'costume' idea then, I know I'd be too embarrassed to sue... ;-)

I'm sorry, but Samsung is not going to put an apple logo on their products, no matter how sexy you think it would make them look.

I'm sorry you never passed your reading/comprehension exams.

Let me save everyone the trouble: Oh boy an Asian woman! *wank, wank to forget the pain of being a lonely girlless white boy*

You were about 5 minutes too late

[jupiterthunder @ Oct 7th 2008 5:06PM]

It'll take a much hotter woman than that to get me to buy one.

So people in the country where the company is based have to wait more than people in a different continent?

[KRIS_C_123 @ Oct 7th 2008 5:25PM]

[Skor @ Oct 7th 2008 9:26PM]

For a second I read "Samsung's $1 / $2 portable HDDs" and got really excited.

[noyp @ Oct 7th 2008 9:48PM]

Watup wit the plug?

[noyp @ Oct 7th 2008 9:51PM]

We've got a stereotype! That's like saying Americans eat apple pie every day.

[Jash Sayani @ Oct 8th 2008 4:31AM]

Woow! The HD and the user, both are awesome!!! I just got a 500Gig Externat SATA, should have waited.......

[stun @ Oct 8th 2008 10:13AM]
