Apricorn’s USB Bus-Powered External Harddrive

I ’m not 100 % the picture is in reality the correct gimmick ( the manufacturing business has n’t updated their website ) , but Apricorn has a newfangled 20 GB external USB harddrive that ’s main claim to fame is its power to be power off the USB jitney or else of necessitate a separate AC adapter . They ’re using that fact , along with its relatively diminished size of it ( 4 x 3 0.6 inches ) to contend against USB flash storage drives . And it is a bargain — Apricorn designate to set out selling the 20 GB rendering for around $ 200 and the 40 GB version for about $ 280 .

Update : So apparently , this is n’t as unique as they imply . Reader Sal Mineo sends Logos of an 80 GB drive from Pockettec that is only somewhat larger that is power off the USB 2.0 bus alone , as well .
