Costume: The portable hard drive for senoritas

costume

Someone took the time to throw together a render of a portable hard drive for girls, the Costume. Overtly targeting girls with technology can be dangerous proposition; dipping a phone in pink and calling it “for girls, now!” usually has less than a snowball’s chance in hell of getting anywhere, but Costume seems to have been designed with care.

It’s supposed to match all the doodads in your purse, like makeup and mace and so on.

You do have to question the sense of dragging around a 2.5-inch hard drive in your purse, though. Why not put whatever file your sneaker netting on your iPod, or on a much smaller thumb drive?

LG reveals XD1 family of portable hard drives


Although Western Digital seems to have the portable hard drive sector all wrapped up, LG's looking to snag a bit of that market share by introducing a new line of stylish alternatives. Each member of the XD1 family possesses a 2.5-inch HDD with a SATA II interface and a USB 2.0 port, and just in case black isn't your bag, you can expect a red wine colored version as well. For now, we'll have to live without a price or release date, but you can look forward to units arriving in 120GB, 160GB, 250GB and 320GB sizes sometime in the future.
