100GB Portable Hard Drive Lets You Switch Port Types

Usually, your choice in portable hard drives is limited by the type of port you have on your machine. But what if your desktop machine is set up for FireWire and all you have on the back of your laptop are a couple of lonely USB ports? Worse, what if you want access your backup after a hard drive meltdown and the computer you want to move the files to has a different type of port? Interactive Media may have an answer that will help you avoid these situations with its 100GB KanguruPortable Hard Drive. The KanguruPortable lets you use any of four different connection types including USB, Firewire, Parallel, or Cardbus/PCMCIA. All four will work with the drive simply by swapping the cable. Capacities for KanguruPortable drives range from 30 to 100GB with prices starting at $199.95. The 100GB version is priced at $529.95, and can be purchased directly from Interactive Media's website .
