A
Closer Look:
Looking
like some cryogenically frozen intergalactic traveler, the
drive arrived suspended in its rather clever packaging which
sandwiches it between two panels of shock-absorbing rubber.
It might not survive being drop-kicked the length of a warehouse,
though I'm not betting on it, but I'd imagine it's up to
even the roughest of "normal" rough handling.

Out
of the box the look is now familiar, or rather it's familiar
to me. Slim, sleek and sexy, it really is a marvel of miniaturization.
At
about 70mm wide by 10mm tall it may be industry standard
for a 2.5" drive but it doesn't stop you marveling
that it houses 100GB of fast and reliable storage. It seems
only yesterday I dashed out to buy my very first (and very
expensive) 1GB drive. And they call them the "good
ole days"! Hell no!

Flip
her on her back and she still looks hot (that should improve
my chances of hits from stray searches!). I don't know why
a turquoise PCB looks better than a green one, I just know
it does (to me).

Just
9.5mm deep makes it almost unfathomable that there are two
platters shoehorned inside this tiny casing.
