			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">One of the things portable hard drives must be is tough and rugged.  Since you’ll be carrying them all over the place, they’ve got to be able to withstand a lot of abuse.  One of the toughest portable hard drives out there is the Iomega BlackBelt.  This portable hard drive can take a lot.  It features the Iomega Drop Guard Xtreme feature.  This will actually protect your hard drive from being dropped from seven feet!  That’s more than twice the industry standard.  It does all of this while still looking quite stylish with its compact design that features the Iomega Power Grip band.  This band helps you keep a hold of the drive and provides slip resistance so that it won’t simply slide off your desk.</p>
<p align="justify">The Iomega BlackBelt holds up to 500 GB of data, so you’ve got plenty of space for your files, videos, and music.  In addition to protecting your data from falls, the BlackBelt also features the Iomega Protection Suite of software that provides a virus scanner, backup software, and more.  You even have access to the MozyHome Online backup service that allows you to back up your files online and access them anywhere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">With all of the data storage devices on the market, you may find yourself wondering why you should use a portable hard drive when there are certainly much smaller options to transfer data.  The answer is simple: you can use an external hard drive to back up multiple computers in one location.  If you use something like an SD card or a USB drive then you will only be able to put 64 GB at a time on these small devices, while there are external hard drives that offer you the ability to have a capacity of up to 2 TB (or 2,000 GB) of space available.
</p>
<p align="justify">Many people have begun using portable hard drives as a way to keep information from all of their computers in one safe and secure location.  This is because with the amount of storage space on these drives you can back up important work files, pictures, music, and even video in on a single drive, then you can place this device somewhere safe to make sure that the information is not lost due to software malfunction, viruses, human error, natural disasters, or theft.  Since many of these devices are light and easy to move between different computers, this makes it the perfect solution for safety concerns.
</p>
<p align="justify">Another reason that portable hard drives are sound investments is that you can easily take a large amount of data with you from computer to computer.  If you are someone who has to constantly travel because of work and you need to make sure that you have access to all of your files from the office, then taking a virtual copy of your office computer with you wherever you go is the perfect solution to make sure that the information you need is always at hand.</p>

<p align="justify">The tiny Western Digital Mini Portable External Hard Drive features 320 GB of storage space in one of the smallest and sleekest portable external hard drives ever.  It’s incredibly portable, and it doesn’t require any power supply at all—it’s completely USB powered.  This means you don’t have to cart around any large power supply or extra cables.  All you need is a USB 2.0 cable.  No software is required, and the hard drive works with both Mac and PC.  The entire drive is an incredibly sleek, shiny black rectangle that is very light weight and small enough to slip into any backpack, purse, or even into your pocket.
</p>
<p align="justify">The Mini Portable Hard Drive does include 128-bit encryption for protecting your data.  While the hard drive doesn’t include much in the way of printed materials or resource discs, it does feature a PDF quick install guide that comes on the drive.  The drive is .59 x 5.1 x 3.14 inches, making it very small.  The entire thing weights less than four ounces.  It’s certainly one of the smaller hard drives out there, and while it doesn’t hold as much as some of the larger drives do, the fact that it is so portable and that it is USB powered instead of requiring a power source are two great advantages.  If you need a mini portable hard drive that you can easily take anywhere, the Western Digital Mini Portable External Hard Drive is a good option for you.
