Do you have any idea how many episodes of Matlock you can fit on 500GB? No really, do you have any idea? To be totally frank, neither do we, but you'll be hard pressed to find a half terabyte of portable storage more nicely colored than this to hold said episodes on. A-DATA has just introduced its CH91 external HDD, which is available in sizes up to 500GB (via a single 2.5-inch drive) and is completely USB powered. The only difficult part here is choosing between sapphire blue, sweet pink and purple white -- oh, and finding a price. Full release is after the break. Amplify the charm of your mini-notebook with A-DATA's colorful CH91
Enjoy technology with a touch of style
If you are a notebook user, don't hesitate making CH91 your first choice to match with your trendy notebook! With huge capacity up to 500GB, the 2.5" external hard disk drive CH91 surly is the right choice for people who need to carry large file all the time and express unique personal style. To keep your stylish mini-notebook accompanied, the Classic CH91 is coated in a metal-like paint spray in a compact size. Now available in sapphire blue, sweet pink and purple white, the new CH91 is a perfect match for your classy mini-notebook.

In addition to CH91, two of A-DATA's products were also honorably awarded by Reddot award 2009- the T806 kissing Octopus Couple Flash Drive and S805 Neo-stylism Flash Drive.

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

"Metal-Like paint spray"
So its coated in Arsenic?
no shellacked asbestos
That entire press release reads very spammy. I realize something is lost in the translation, but if you're going to do press releases in English at least have someone from an English speaking nation go over it first. Here is roughly how I read the first paragraph:
"Did you just pay too much for a new laptop? Continue the trend of over-spending by buying our mythical hard drive too! It's HUMONGOUS, like your ego, and it'll hold all your porn. Obviously you need this right away, remember, the more you spend the more people will look up to you. We even doused it in shiny shit to make you think it'll match your probably-already-obsolete laptop. Buy one now -- we've got them covered in ground unicorn horns, dragon skin or magic crystals to go with your fairy-dust laptop."
It looks nice to me.. I have an A-Data USB Flash Drive that rocks in speed/performance. I wonder how these HDDs hold out.
With the Toshiba 500gb portable USB drive (a good looking device as well, imho) regularly under $100, I hope A-DATA has a similar or better price point in mind.
a DVD rip XVid encode of a 60 minute Matlock episode can be expected to be about 350 MB.
500GB = 512000 MB
512000 MB/ 350 MB = 1462 episodes
which is more then where ever made (195 according to IMDB). looks like you will have be able to fit Quincy too.
I would like to correct you there, when manufacturers say 500 Gb they mean 500,000 MB where again 1MB is 1000KB. So 500GB is in effect 465.66128 GB
So that's more like 1362 eps of 350MB each.
