Portable Hard Drive
Verbatim has recently added an interesting gadget to their product range which will liven up your PC. It is nothing but an external hard drive which looks pretty decent with cool design and some new amazing features. This hard drive is named as the “Insight Portable USB Hard Drive”. You can choose to have either 320GB or 500GB model of Insight Portable USB Hard Drive. Drive space being the only difference between those two models, but there are certain features which does make them distinctive from the other external HDDs. Not to forget, the Insight is also compatible with Mac OS.
Verbatim has designed the Hard Drive so elegantly that each time you pull out the hard drive from your pocket people will tend to ask what it is. It is so small and portable that it can be carried in your pocket. The premium piano black finish is fantastic and that curve on it is just amazing.
Looking at the features, the Verbatim has introduced Insight as “Always On” 32 x 128 LED display. The LED displays the information about the name and the free space available on the drive. Well, we don’t see the reason why it has to be ON all the time.
Anyways, to move on with the specs both InSight models rev at 5400rpm, have 8MB cache, USB 2.0 port and a cable. Standard Nero BackItUp Essentials are also included in the drive.
Verbatim InSight Portable USB Hard Drive 320GB costs 119.99 USD and 500GB costs 149.99 USD. These are a bit too pricey as we have seen on the Amazon a 320GB portable hard drive costs much less than a hundred dollars and 500GB external hard drive costs just above hundred. So the extra money which you will be paying will show its worth only when you take the InSight in your hands.
External hard drives are excellent for portable backups. Now if Jump Drives had capacity of 500GB at a low cost, I’d buy a bunch of them.
