It's no coincidence that Samsung named its external USB hard disk "Story" as it attempts to woo consumers away from
Western Digital's My Book series of backup devices. The brushed aluminum slab with "passionate red lines" (groan) plays host to your choice of 500GB, 1TB, or 1.5TB 3.5-inch disks. The Story Station can backup your data in "real-time" or be setup to backup on a set schedule of your choosing. Data is secured via password with an optional SecretZone virtual drive setup for encrypting all your swine-flu conspiracy data. This device is single-port, USB 2.0 only so you'll have to take your dreams of network attached storage, eSATA, or FireWire 800 elsewhere. Available in Europe first sometime in May for an undisclosed price.

Whats up with the volume dial?

U-G-L-Y
You aint got no alibi...U UGLAY, U UGLAY!! Your mamma says U UGLAY. O_o
@Shawn: More importantly, why does it only appear to go to 3?
It goes to 11.
It probably controls the speed of the platters, for those people who are occasionally passonate about saving the environment at the expense of data transfer rates.
I've always felt that 7,200 was a bit excessive, but have never been satisfied by 5,400. Now I can choose a rate that suits ME rather than being stuck with something that suits THE MAN. Mumble mumble blather blather rant blather rant.
Passionate on/off switch.
For its three settings: On, off, and house fire.
This comment needs to get more attention. +1 Internets for you, Galactor963.
"story station"
lol
"passionate red lines"
....
i said CONSUMATE v's!!!
You wouldn't know majesty if it jumped up and bit you in the face
What??? USB 2.0 only???? woo.... this Hard drive is a failure already then... it's 2009 not 2007, at least they should have Firewire 400 or eSATA.
3 settings? On, Off and ???
If the third option is "FBI" and triggers the self-destruct I am sold.
That case deserves to have a headphone amp in it...
What's cool is that things can now be famed in song and this thing.
Nice headphone amp.!
but....will it play crysis?
Haha, I thought it was a headphone amp too when I first saw it. Why would it have a dial? It MIGHT be cool to make it almost like a safe where you have to dial in numbers, but since this doesn't seem to be like that, ???
