Buffalo's MiniStation Turbo Crams 500GB Into a Small Package
Buffalo's managed to cram 500GB into this MiniStation Turbo, which is a small, portable, 5400RPM USB hard drive with "shock absorbing material" to protect from unintended drops. Buffalo claims that it's got up to 30% faster transfer rates than "most USB hard drives", but chances are you're going to be buying this for the size and not so much for how fast you can get your data off of it. 500GB in your pants? Yes please. The only thing holding us back is the slightly high price of $329. [Buffalo]

Seagate Rolls Out Wireless USB Drive
Seagate will launch a wireless USB portable hard drive at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco this week. The company revealed a prototype of a 1.8-inch wireless USB drive at CES in January, and surprises us with this 2.5-inch portable wireless USB hard drive that it will be showing in the next day or two. No word on transfer speed or availability, but it looks a lot like the Seagate wireless USB drive we saw at CES which was capable of a 480Mbps link. At the time, the company said it would be a year before it would ship. Looks like things could be moving along more quickly than expected. More »
