External mobile hard drives are pretty common nowadays and to get some attention, Freecom claims it owns the world’s smallest external HDD in the 2.5″ category.
Actually, most mobile hard drives have the same size and dimensions. What’s making them lighter, bigger or smaller is the casing so Freecom made the simplest casing — a touch rubber jacket.
This mobile HDD sent in by PCTrends has a capacity of 320GB, covered by a rubber case and comes with a USB cable. Compared to my old WD Passport 160GB, the Freecom XSS is about 25% smaller.
The Freecom XXS mobile HDD costs about Php3,550 in stores.

Have to see (and subsequently, buy) this one. My 160GB is almost full. Attractive price. The rubber casing seems interesting too, since it would minimize slipping when you hold it. Unlike the hard plastic of the iSav casing which is so glossy, I have dropped it a couple of times already. Good thing it wasn’t damaged, though.
mmm nice. i’m in the lookout for a new external hdd as well. can’t wait to get may playonHD.
I’ll wait longer before I get an external HDD. Specifically if they get the 1TB externals to be smaller!

A nice deal at Php3,550 for 320GB. I shelled out almost twice that much just a year ago for one with half of that capacity.
Where can I get one of these?
