Fujitsu releases the new series of external HD, HandyDrive. This newcomer hardware does not come with special features, but high speed performance can be expected from this Fujitsu external HD that provides high speed data transfer.

Its portability meets all standard portability connection of external HD, so easy to use, just plug in and play, and hot swap between computers through USB port.

HandyDrive is created to focus on utility rather than unique feature, and its casual model is suitable for everyone who needs solution for data storage.

Low Cost

Most Fujitsu products are not as lucky as HandyDrive external HD which receives good responses, not because of the design but the price. For a 400 GB HandyDrive external HD, you just need to spend around $90, so it means that each 4.5 GB capacity costs only $1.

Design

The casual design can not be compared with many attractive external HD in the market, and HandyDrive does not come with alternative color, only Black. But I think its design is cool, reminds me to Seagate FreeAgent Go in its shape and size. It has an external drive average size, measuring at 3.2 inches in wide, 5.6 inches in long, and 0.87 inch in depth, an ideal portable size makes it convenient while being taken handy.

Features

As I said before that HandyDrive does not have special features such as automatic data backup, but a shiny black plastic which uses shock endurance mechanism embedded inside this 2.5 inch external HD for impact resistance. Its thin case is tough enough to survive shocks during your trip or accidental drop.
