Lamborghini External HDD: With 500GB or 750 GB of Storage Space

Lamborghini cars aren’t the only thing that are fast. Even their external HDD are super fast. In case the storage space in your Lamborghini VX6 or VX7 is not sufficient then look no further and get yourself the Lamborghini External HDD. This HDD offers either 500GB or 750 GB of storage space.  The USB 2.0 spins at 5400RPM, while a 750GB USB 3.0 spins at 7200RPM. So it means that data transfer is super duper fast.



These stylish storage devices come in black or white. With a size of 5.33 x 3.13 x 0.7-inch (135.6 x 79.7 x 18mm), these drives are Windows compatible needless to say and also come along with the FlexSave file management. This FlexSave offers a clean user interface wired with a capacity indicator bar, an energy-efficient idle mode, plus a one-click auto backup functionality.

If you are looking for much more space then it might not be the best buy for you. But if you want your HDDs to look stylish then this one by Lamborghini has very little competition. We are not sure of the price but the USB 2.0 with a storage space of 500GB retails for approximately US$119, while the 750 GB comes at around US$139. These will be hitting the US markets soon.

Hitachi Z5K500: Measures 7mm in Thickness With Gigantic Storage Capacity of 500GB

Z5K500, a new hard drive that measures 7mm in thickness launched by Hitachi; which manages to pack 500GB of storage on to the disk inside.



Hitachi Z5K500, the new drive is a 2.5 inch model and has a spin speed of 5400RPM. The disk is a single platter, which you'd expect on a device this thin.
The new drive, Hitachi Z5K500, has been designed to run in ultra portable CE devices as well as laptops and netbooks.

With its slim profile and high capacities, the Hitachi Travelstar Z5K500 drive family delivers the best cost per gigabyte and gigabyte per cubic millimeter (GB/mm3) when compared to solid state drives (SSD), and 2.5-inch and 1.8-inch 9.5mm HDDs, offering a compelling value proposition for OEMs and system integrators. With the broadest line of 7,200 and 5,400 RPM 7mm drives now at their fingertips, Hitachi customers can differentiate product lines by utilizing space savings to produce thinner devices, add battery capacity, increase shock robustness, or improve internal airflow – all better uses of the volume in a system than shipping a partially "empty" 9.5mm 2.5-inch hard drive with only one disk.

So there you have it! Expect to see them showing up in small laptops and netbooks over the coming months.

Lacie Float Concept: External Hard Drive Plus External Trackpad - - A Concept Which Needs to Be Materialized

When you buy an external hard drive, there really aren’t a lot of extra features to consider. Generally you’re buying it for its ability to store files, so the only extras you’ll really find are the bundled backup software suites. But what if your external drive functioned as a secondary peripheral for your computer, such as a track pad. Would that make you more interested in purchasing one over the other?



This Lacie Float concept is an external hard drive that yes, is also a trackpad. I really have to say that such an idea really never crossed my mind. However, looking at the dimensions of the 2.5-inch SSD version, it does look like a fit. Granted, I still don’t see the point in an external trackpad, but that’s a user preference. Sadly, this USB 3.0-equipped hybrid device is only a concept at this point. Kudos to the designer for thinking outside the box.
