"External drives have been increasing in popularity in recent years with
the advent of USB and Firewire connectors on most modern personal
computers. If you wanted a great deal of disk space without opening up
that system of yours, all you needed to do was to buy an external drive.
Individuals looking for portability have also found solutions in the
flash drive marketspace with a variety of USB flash drives. However
portability often meant a sacrifice in drive space since flash drives
usually maxed out at around 256 MB of space. Sure there were compact
flash based Microdrives but they also top out after a few gigabytes. If
you wanted oodles of space, you often needed larger enclosures that
would forsake the portability aspect. A new external enclosure from a
company called Enhance Technology hopes to bridge that gap by providing
merging laptop oriented drives with USB/Firewire interfaces. The
enclosure is called the Mini Portable Disk (MPD) and it houses a 2.5inch
hard disk drive that is normally found in laptops. Using these small
drives and a built in rechargeable battery the MCP hopes to provide
portability, plenty of storage space and plug 'n play operability in a
small convenient package"
