Toshiba’s 200GB 2.5″ External Hard Drive

Toshiba introduced the worlds first 200GB 2.5-inch USB 2.0 portable external hard drive today. It’s currently is the largest back up hard drive in the 2.5″ class, and I know some of you are already ranting, “What about my 500GB external?” Try putting that monster in your chest pocket and say that again.

The drive is compatible with windows or Mac OS, comes with a 4ft USB cable, and a fingerprint and scratch resistant black aluminum case. All you need to do is plug it in and run the backup software. The new drive also includes a patent-pending shock mount system, a feature that’ll no doubt save your important files from bumps and valleys or at least life’s little mishaps.
