The handsome devil pictured above is the Porté, available in Korea from Datamore. This sleek, stylish HDD enclosure is sure to make you the envy of your neighbors and a hero to your family -- not only because it allows you to increase your storage options via handy USB or eSATA, but because it looks so sleek and sexy doing so. And who could resist an enclosure that offers such easy access to the hard drive? Of course there's a catch: this bad boy is not currently available Stateside. Sorry to break your heart. If you hit the read link, however, there are plenty of large, colorful glamor shots to help you ease the pain.
Now what does this remind me of...? I can't quite place it... but it's freaking me out.
I'm thinking...grasshopper.
Reminds me of some cheap "slicer-dicer" kitchen utility that would have been advertised via a midnight infomercial durring the late 90's.
Looks like the exercise robot from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theaters movie. Someone find a picture and prove me right.
looks like a toilet which rewards you with hard drive if you leave the seat up.

mirite?
It reminds me of those one-armed industry robots.
It's a stapler!
Look like an iron to me.
Yeah well I'm counting, and I only see 15 pieces of flair.
So why don't you just require me to wear more flair?
now we observe the Datamore Porté in its native habitat... LOOK! it has captured a "hard disk drive" with its plastic claw hand as is digesting it as we speak.
The Porté will eventually completely envelop it's prey, digesting its jucy data contents for potentially years to come.
When full, the Porté will hastily latch onto a nearby USB cable, where it will expell digested data at up to 400mbps.
What a fancy toaster!
well its the only toaster that will give you more space to put your porn
The Funk!
meh....
Don't you mean "Funk and Ugly" :)
Does it also type out telegraphs?
It looks like the Slave 1... You know, Boba Fett's spacecraft... You know, from Star Wars...Returning to my home under the stairs as I type.
It looks...Combine-esque.
What is with the latest batch of posts lately? Sarcasm is always appreciated...but Jesus!, every other post?
Personally, I'm not feeling it. We do have something kind of like that stateside though. It's the Eagle Consus M series.
They have it at NewEgg for $30 after shipping. I like how that one looks better anyway.

Why is that can opener attacking that hard drive!
"sleek, stylish HDD enclosure" —Joe, you must have swooned when you saw your first Yugo.
The thing looks like a label maker back when Romania was behind the Iron Curtain.
I don't know, maybe clunky is the new sleek.
Looks like something from Portal.
