Hard drives with pizzazz: media and more

Photo viewers, multimedia playback, memory card transfers -- these hard disk drives do more than just sit on your desk and store your digital stuff.

Iogear Portable Media Server GMD2025U120


The Iogear Portable Media Server GMD2025U120 isn't your typical portable external hard drive. This diminutive $350 device--about the size of a stack of index cards--stores 120GB of data, but also supports playback via your TV. It features component and composite video output, composite audio output, and an array of media playback controls on the unit itself along with a remote control. Its small size--3.2-by-5.25-by-0.75 inches--makes it easy to take your media collection wherever you go, so you can show your friends the latest video of your cats without having to crowd around a laptop or portable media player screen. Also available: Iogear's Portable Media Enclosure ($290), which gives you the same media playback features, but lets you insert your own hard drive into the unit.
