"Fits Into Tight Pants Or Into Tightly Spaced Ports"

Teeny-tiny hard drives are getting affordable enough to make USB flash-drive shoppers think twice. Now Western Digital Corp. has introduced a 6GB drive that costs $129, draws its power from a USB 2.0 port, and measures all of 2.4 by 1.8 by 0.4 inches -- not bad for something with the capacity to hold five two-hour MPEG-4 movies or 1,500 MP3 songs.

The WD Passport Pocket Drive features a flip-out, rotating connector that's thin enough so that two drives can be plugged into the closely spaced USB ports found on many notebooks. The 1-inch hard disk inside spins at 3,600 rpm and has a 2MB buffer, with an activity light that glows when the device is connected and flashes when the drive is storing data. A rubberized sleeve is included for travel.

Amazing!
