The BUS-powered portable external storage drive system is offered in massive sizes of 20-gigabyte to 100-gigabytes and comes in a stainless steel package.

Less than an inch high, these ultra slim high-performance hard drives are the ideal storage solution for palm-tops, notebooks or desktop PCs - at home, in the office or anywhere in between.

With both Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and FireWire connections, setup is a snap and data transfer is blazing fast. Dragon Drives are available in size configurations of 20-GB to 120-GB and will be priced at MSRPs of $99 to $399.
