Toshiba fan boys rejoice! You can now show with pride your love for this brand with the elegant, and yes I like its design, but oh so boring feature wise 3.5” HDD external enclosure… Available in 640GB or 1TB that supports both USB and eSATA it would have been a killer with FireWire 800 and let’s dream a second… USB 3.0 (if some already sell USB 3.0 cables and motherboards supporting it, we could expect to see some USB 3.0 peripherals sooner than later).

Toshiba’s Digital Products Division (DPD), a division of Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., today announced the availability of a new Toshiba 3.5-inch External HDD, marking Toshiba’s first entry into the 3.5-inch external HDD business. The product offers digital consumers and business professionals a stylish and affordable back up device with dual connectivity, robust software features and up to 1TB of capacity from a trusted brand.

With its sleek glossy finish, Toshiba designed the 3.5-inch External HDD to match its family of consumer laptops, while the slim form factor design and space-saving footprint conserves desk space. The hard drive is priced competitively at $129.99 MSRP for 640GB and $159.99 MSRP for 1TB. All versions of the hard drive are PC and Mac compatible and are backed by a Toshiba 3-year standard limited warranty.
