In the world of digital electronics, being small is a good thing. And this EagleTec Nano USB Drive is so small, you actually need to pay attention or it could get lost right before your very eyes. The drive itself is about a third of the size of the USB plug itself, so the whole thing is just over half an inch long! Storage size isn’t small though, with a 4 or 8 GB drive available. The tiny profile of the drive also means you free up valuable space from your PC or laptop, making it possible to plug in other USB devices or drives side by side. $22+.

Tough storage just got tougher and bigger. The LaCie Rugged XL, designed by Neil Poulton, now offers 1 TB of drive space in an 8×5x2 inch protected case. It’s USB/eSATA compatible for easy connectivity and with the built-in LaCie Backup Assistant software, backing up files from your PC/Mac has never been easier. But the highlight of this product is the sturdy and rugged case, made of aluminum and rubber. Both the inside and outside of the disk are protected from shock so you can at least feel safe that your backed-up files are secured from your clumsiness. $160.

Flash drives have been a great innovation over the past few years, but they are very vulnerable to the elements and to being dropped. That’s why you should think about investing in the Flash Survivor, which will save your flash drive from water, drops and other hazards. The Flash Survivor comes in 8, 16 and 32 GB models. $38-88.

It’s always nice to have a USB drive handy because they store a lot of data in a small package. The only problem is if you lose it and there’s always a tendency to lose them because they are small. Now that problem would be lessened because of the LaCie. The itsaKey, iamaKey and PassKey USB Drives from the company has a key ring that makes it easy to attach to your exisiting key-chain. This lets you store up to 8GB of data. The best of them all is the PassKey that lets you expand your capacity by using a microSD card. The only problem now is not losing your keys. $10.

Can you put a price on your memories? Important files, pictures, music, and videos are hard to replace, expensive even. So to save yourself from the heartache of losing your precious files, you’d need to back them up, often. The My Book World Edition from Western Digital takes care of that task by automatically backing up marked files at intervals that the user will set. It doubles as a multimedia server as well so connected computers can back up their files through the network for added versatility. Remote software and service lets you access the drive from a remote connection. A 1TB drive is available now and its larger, 2TB brother is set to be out at the end of the month. $230.

Western Digital is number 2 when it comes to Hard Drives but this time, they could actually take the number 1 spot. Every guy nowadays has a kick ass system at home and this would be a great addition to that! Western Digital is shipping its awaited 3.5″ 2-terabyte hard drive. The WD Caviar Green 2TB is now out along with the 1.5TB and 1TB versions as well. What’s good about this is that it’s going to be out for a cheap price! It’s perfect for your growing stash of personal files. $300.
