More equipment

This time some new hardware for the EEE PC. Although the E3 has 4Gb of storage, the system takes up 62% (2.3Gb) which only leaves 38% (1.4Gb) of user storage.

At present I`m only using about 10% (140Mb) of space, it's always nice to have extra storage space.

So I`ll bought an Emtec Giga Cube; this is a 8Gb USB portable Hard Drive storage device.

Unlike flash drive that have flash memory, is device is actual a mini HD. The outer casing is made of soft black rubber for protection and the device is so small and light it will easily fit into a pocket.

The USB plug, plugs into the back of the unit to keep it save when not being used.
