Hard Drive XS is the name of a new external hard drive from Freecom model. The unit claims to be the world’s smallest 3.5-inch disk.

Weighing 860 grams and a size of 18.2 x 11.4 x 3.1 cm is the Freecom Hard Drive XS very small to contain a disk of 3.5-inch size. The device comes in two models, one with 500 GB storage capacity and one with 1TB storage capacity. The price tag for the former model lies at 875 crowns, while the larger version will cost 1200 dollars.

The unit is equipped with a Turbo USB 2.0 connection. This bodes for high speeds over’s when the USB 2.0 interface itself supports speeds up to 480 Mbps The model is in black and has a shape custom rubber casing that will give good grip and make the vibrations are minimized. Sylvain Willenz, award-winning Belgian designer, stands for the aesthetic design of the disk. Hard drive chassis is not equipped with a fan which is a contributing factor to the device is so small. The disadvantage of lack of fan is understood that the disk, especially in heavy use, likely to be very hot.

Power is supplied by an external AC adapter, which unfortunately means that some of the points with an external disk in minimal performance loss. To drag along both hard drive, adapter and USB cable is quite bulky. It had instead been better if the hard drive could get its power via USB cable.
