I’ve always been fascinated by the term “ultra portable”. Surely something is either portable or it’s not? Whatever you think, this Aegis Mini 240Gb HDD from Apricorn (love that name) is absolutely portable. It’s the latest addition to the Aegis Mini line-up which includes 80Gb and 120Gb models. The Aegis uses a 4200rpm 1.8″ drive with a 16 point omni-directional shock mounting system which means it should be ok if it gets bumped around. It weighs about 110g and is 86mm long and 70mm wide so it’ll disappear into any pocket. It’s even got a built-in USB cable and is completely bus-powered. $US244 after a rebate and comes with backup software for PCs and Macs. There are also FireWire versions.
The Aegis Mini ultra-portable 1.8″ hard drive instantly adds up to 240GB of capacity which is ideal for storing, sharing or backing up your valuable data. It’s the perfect companion for travel between home and the office, or for extra storage on the go.
