Fujitsu Europe has upgraded the storage capacity of its portable HandyDrive 2.5-inch external HDD with up to 500GB. This is in addition to other models which are available in 160GB, 250GB, 320GB and 400GB storage capacities.

The HandyDrive also features a maximum data transfer rate of 60mbps, an 8MB read/write buffer and a password lock tool option for data security and unauthorized access. The Fujitsu HandyDrive should be a good option for a portable drive since it measures only 5.59 x 3.23 x 0.87-inches in size and weighs a mere 7.76-ounces.
