OWC launches new portable hard drives that appear to rule

mercury

I love bus-powered devices, especially external hard drives, but they tend to have fairly small capacities. I do like, those, these new Other World Computing Mercury On-The-Go portable drives.

They’re compact, bus-powered, work with Firewire 400 or USB 2, and even look cool. What’s really great is they’re high-capacity and fairly affordable, topping out with a 200GB drive for $189.99. If you have a laptop with limited capacity and need to expand, these are a great way to go.

Ok that just looks great. It still amazes me the amount of information we can carry around in these smaller and smaller units. Can’t imagine what it will be like in 10 or 20 years.

200 gb for 189? a lil expensive considering you can get a “real” brand portable case like a lacie in 320mb for $169

How the heck is that thing on when it doesn’t even have the USB cable plugged into it.
