I’ve been looking for a good, reliable, sturdy, affordable portable storage device for my wife to carry around. She has some USB memory sticks, b
ut more storage is always good, right? I think Plextor is looking like a worthy contender for a storage provider in this realm. Check out these shock-proof external hard drives. Available in 80 and 120 Gig for $169 and $260 respectively. I’m seriously considering picking up one of the larger capacity drives at that price.
The external PX-SP hard drives, said Plextor, make use of a specially designed silicon jacket bumper that reportedly helps keep the drive from crashing if it is dropped. The storage device, which measures 3.3†x 0.7†x 5.5†and weighs less than eight ounces, supports USB 2.0 for a maximum data transfer rate of 480Mbps. The PX-SP comes bundled with a USB cable, the silicon jacket and a quick start guide.
