Portable Hard Drive

Yesterday, my mom bought a portable hard drive to store all of her documents, photos, videos, etc.  She wanted to be able to take all of her files with her wherever she went.  She ended up getting the Seagate FreeAgent Go 500GB external portable USB hard drive for $119.99, a great deal for 500gb of portable storage.

The great thing about the small portable USB hard drives is that they don’t require an additional power source; they power themselves from the laptop.  This means you can access your portable hard drive wherever you are, even if there’s no outlet nearby.

It’s a great little hard drive, about 1/3rd the size of a small paperback book.  If you need to have portable access to a large quantity of files, this is the kind of thing you need.

    Yeah I love those things I have a few of them. It makes it easy to take everything off my PC and bring it along to use on my laptop when I travel such as my movies and games.

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
