	TrustedReviews - Seagate 5.0GB USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive
		Now, this may not be a revolutionary product, in fact we looked at the MSI Mega Cache 15 pocket hard drive a while back, but having 5GB of storage in your pocket can’t be a bad thing.
		That said, the Pocket Hard Drive fits very comfortably in the palm of your hand, and the round, almost organic shape is also more aesthetically pleasing than an angular square box.
		It allows you to make the pocket drive bootable and you can also repartition the disk here, although any data resident at the time would, of course be lost.

	5Gb Seagate USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		If you are a pocket hard drive junkie like I am, you're always looking for the next cool device that can store even more than the last.
		Seagate's new 5Gb USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive is smaller than the portable notebook hard drive, but larger than a flash drive.

		Flash drives have really boomed the last couple years, and although most of the sub-$100 drives can't store as much as a writable DVD, they are much easier to carry around than optical media.
		It would be tempting to yank on the drive to unplug it, but we recommend just pulling on the USB plug as you would (or should) with any USB cable after properly "ejecting" the device.
		While smaller drives will get the job done, assuming you only transfer a moderate amount of files, having access to 5GB of storage is quite a life saver, especially with chores such as driver updates, application patches and multimedia file transfers.

	Test drive: Pocket-sized hard drive - Orlando Sentinel : Business
		But until now, removable hard drives with lots of space were pretty expensive and generally designed only to work on the computer you bought it with.
		Developed by Flotec Engineering in South Korea, the Pockey hard drive comes in a variety of formats and requires no external power supply; it pulls juice in from the USB port, something nearly every computer sold over the last two years is equipped with.
		The Pockey seems as rugged as any other laptop-size hard drive, which is essentially what it is. Even so, I'd make sure material on the Pockey was also backed up on other media, because its tiny footprint suggests there isn't any room for shock protection in the case.

	:: LAPTOP Magazine • Seagate 5GB USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive :: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		While many mini drives sport 2GB capacities, Seagate's USB 2.0 Pocket Hard Drive is among the first to pack 5GB of storage-that's enough room for 80 hours of music, 2,000 digital photos, or 4.5 hours of video-into a compact circular case that weighs just 2.2 ounces.
		The Pocket Hard Drive uses the fast USB 2.0 interface and is backwards-compatible with the older USB standard, and it features a two-piece design where the interior round case rotates to expose a 6-inch long interface cable that both transfers data and supplies power.
		When the drive is not in use, this cable is completely hidden and the plug protected from damage.

		The Pocket Hard Drive's compact size (about as small as a women's compact but about twice as thick) is still easy to carry around.
		The Pocket Hard Drive could have employed a USB stub that you could plug into your computer's USB port.
		This is slower than a conventional laptop drive spinning at 4200 RPM and even slower than a typical desktop computer hard drive spinning at 5400 RPM.

	Targus 40GB Ultra Slim Pocket Hard Drive
		Because of their small form factors, most notebooks ship with hard drives that are of limited capacity when compared to their desktop counterparts.
		The USB 2.0 drive spins at 4200 rpm, which is a bit on the slow side, but if you have gigs of data that needs to be backed up, you can back up the entire contents of the drive with the included Retrospect backup');" onMouseOut="hideAd();" class=Hotlink>backup software.
		The drive is very portable, it is unobtrusive, and is bus powered, so you don't have to worry about AC adapters.

	IGN: Seagate Pocket Hard Drive
		You can get keychain-sized flash drives that hold up to a few gigs of data or removable USB and Firewire hard drives that you can pop into a backpack and take with you pretty much anywhere.
		The fact that the Pocket Hard Drive and its cable are self-contained and the way it quickly and easily opens/closes is a great design.
		The drive is rated at 3,600RPM which isn't the fastest thing in the world, but performance is pretty good for such a small device.

		The PHD is round - an unusual shape for a device of this type - but it fits very comfortably in the palm of your hand and is more aesthetically pleasing than the more usual rectangular casings.
		Since the drive is bus-powered, the built-in cable not only means you don't need to take a separate one with you, but you don't need a power adaptor either.

		This is the least of the Pocket Hard Drive’s troubles.
		The retractable USB cable saves the headaches so many flash drives cause when their chunky front-ends are awkwardly jammed into USB ports, the blue LED usefully (if distractingly) flashes to indicate drive access, and it performs faster than most of its solid state competitors.
		Performance is understandably slow, given that the drive spins at only 3,600rpm, but 5GB of data was copied onto it from our test PC in just under 14 minutes, so it’s a more than practical replacement for writeable DVDs.

		With the lowest capacity of the two drives tested here, you've still got more storage than a DVD in your pocket and that's cool.

		Because the Seagate drive is a USB (1.1 or later) device, all of the power comes from the computer you are plugging into.
		The puck shape design of the Seagate drive is well done, the inner wheel rotates to hide the USB cable when it is not in use, and you may find yourself playing with the wheel in your spare thinking moments.
		Because of the drive speed, this is not a device you could digitize high quality video onto, but it could be used to transport video from one station to the next.
