Ok,
1.8″ : 30Gb and 60Gb
2.5″ USB2 : from 80 to 250Gb
2.5″ FireWire &USB2 from 120 to 250
Considering that 229.99$ for a 250Gb FireWire &USB2 (5400rpm) external HD means less than 1$/Gb, for me it’s a good deal.
This said, with all respect for Sam Hecht as a designer, I don’t like the cap choice: it’s a loose-me-soon design. I rather preferred a “Zippo” like form factor.
