LG XD1
$89.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:ESATA and USB interfaces - one the fastest and the other the most common connection options. Compact, sleek enclosure. Good performance.
The Cons:Glossy finish - easily scratched, smudged. ESATA doesn't supply power - requires the USB connection be connected either way. Not shock resistant.
The LG XD1 is a stylish, portable hard-disc drive introduced in Korea during 2009. It is small and compact for fitting into a purse or bag, yet also stylish with a gradient texture that comes in either red/wine or black/pearl.
