If you are memory conscious and either need to replace your external storage or want to invest in a great solution, the Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive is an elegant storage solution. It's DropGuard feature also makes it surprisingly durable for the tough traveler. Transfer data, and large stereo/audio and photo files back and forth to all your networked destinations. Sexy and slim, its heft of 160GB capacity holds up to 640,000 photos, over 2,900 hours of music and 240 hours of video.



The nitty gritty specs:

* Requires no external power supply

* Includes a free EMC Retrospect HD backup software license

* USB 2.0/1.1 compatible (transfer rates up to 480Mbits/s depending on your processor and OS)

* Length 0.75 x Width 3.5 x Height 5.25 Weight - 0.48 pounds



It's recommended by one of Amazon's commentors (we love these guys) that you purchase a small 4-1 USB hub, so that you can always be prepared to have the required two USB connections to ensure you have enough power.



It's the "little red corvette" of storage solutions



Price: $119 at Amazon.
