Fujitsu Extend HandyDrive Portable HDD Series with 500GB HandyDrive Edition

Fujitsu have announced a new model in its HandyDrive portable, external
hard disk drive series offering half a terabyte of storage capacity.
Fujitsu's 500GB HandyDrive HDD, which is billed as being 'the world's
highest capacity 2.5-inch external hard disk drive (HDD)' measures in at
142 x 82 x 22mm and, thanks to being a USB 2.0 device, dispenses with
the need for a dedicated power adapter (making it ideal for use with
mobile computing solutions).Offering a purported 60MB per second data
transfer rate, Fujitsu's 500GB HandyDrive was introduced by Georg
Dietsch, Director of Fujitsu Storage Products Group in EMEA, who states,
'With this 4th generation of external drives and our company's special
know-how gained through more than 40 years experience in hard disk drive
design and manufacturing, Fujitsu is committed to provide ideal
solutions for the expanding mobile storage market and users looking for
portable HDD devices with higher capacities, compact designs, and
advanced data security features.'The Fujitsu 500GB HandyDrive will
become available towards the end of this month (July 08) and will retail
for around 230 (roughly $365).
