The WiebeTech Combo GB: Portable is Good!

It looks like something out of a spy movie. Better yet, it looks like something a Power Ranger would use to transform.

Well, it probably isn’t, but it does have a ton of power for a little portable thing.

The WiebeTech ComboGB comprises a series of ultraportable hard drives, this one being extremely versatile. The 7200 RPM drive can connect to any PC or Mac that supports USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and FireWire 800, and comes with the necessary cables to do so. It’s powerful enough to playback that awesome World of Warcraft machinima you just found or that emotionally gripping time-lapse video of grass growing you made yesterday. At the same time, you can stick it in your back pocket.

Even more useful for people engaged in techie business interests worldwide or traveling programmers is the optional AC adapter that you can also purchase. Their site announces that it can be used worldwide, so just in case the laptop or other device you’re ported into is low on juice, you can find the nearest power outlet to keep it going. Talk about plug and play.

All in all, it looks like a solid deal for those who’re thinking of getting a portable hard drive. Since you can pick how much space your drive gets, you can be as thrifty or as extravagant as you need to be. Definitely good for a techie gift that hasn’t been presented yet.

If you’re interested, check it out. Prices range from $120-600 depending on the kind of drive you choose and the accessories you feel like adding onto it. Just make sure not to sit on it by mistake, alright?
