Samsung Wins Design Award for Green, Sexy External Hard Drives

Very rarely, if ever, are external hard drives something to oogle over. Generally speaking, gadgets with that type of sex appeal begin with a lower case "i' and have a touch screen. But Samsung's G-Series external drive changes all that. And not only are they sexy but they are also green!

Samsung won a design award for both the way it looks and for the green materials used in manufacturing it. The enclosure is made from an eco-friendly halogen-free plastic that reacts to the light in the room: it's the glittery affect you see above.

And the pattern is more than just decorative. It also serves as a heat-sink for the hard drive. And it's scratch- and fingerprint-resistant. The smallest size available is 120 GB but if you are a data junkie you're going to need the largest one: 250 GB.
