Samsung doles out 640GB S2 portable, 2TB S3 Station HDDs

Whatever Toshiba can do, Samsung can do... um, equally well? Evidently that's the game being played over at IFA, as the latter company has issued a 640GB portable hard drive of its own nary 24 hours after Tosh did likewise. The unspeakably cute S2 portable is getting a much-needed capacity bump, making the largest drive in the line 640GB. In related news, the company's 3.5-inch S3 Station external HDD has seen its maximum storage level creep north to 2TB, though storage freaks will have to wait patiently until "early next year" in order to take one home. Prices for both remain a mystery, but if we had to guess, we'd put the MSRPs about a penny under whatever Toshiba settles on. Call it a hunch.

Love the red and minimalism.
Samsung is good quality too.
What am I talking about?
Engadget, why do you insist on making posts about random portable hard drives and projectors.
We should add a new version of Engadget.

I looked at the picture, and the first thing I said to myself was "where is the screen?" It looks like something that would have a screen on it!

I personally like the look of Tosh's HDs better.

I agree, Toshiba's hard drives do look nice. Very reliable too, and reasonably priced.

Wake me up when 2TB hard drives are less than $150. Besides anyone can build their own external hard drive with parts from newegg.com

I first saw a cellphone without screen or button. Then I read Hard Drive.
