Asus SDRW-08D1S-U External DVD-RW Drive

External DVD writers are never going to be exciting, but at least Asus' effort looks pretty.
Corsair Flash Voyager 64GB

With more than enough space, some will be using Corsair's 64GB as a replacement for an external hard drive. Transferring this much data though will leave you wishing for more speed.

The My Book Studio Edition is a welcome addition to the My Book family, and should find a home on many Mac and PC users' desks.

Ubuntu is very user-friendly but not right for everyone. Oddly, both casual and advanced users will find this operating system wonderful, while day-to-day users may rail against Ubuntu's incompatibility with certain popular software applications.
Sony RDR-HXD760

Western Digital MyBook 250GB USB Hard Drive Essential Edition

It's not much like a book, but Western Digital's take on portable external hard drive storage has a lot going for it if simplicity is what you seek.
Iomega ScreenPlay Multimedia Drive (60GB)

Iomega's ScreenPlay is a handy multimedia playback drive, but we prefer the file management system of LaCie's Silverscreen drive.
LaCie Slim DVDÃ‚Â±RW with LightScribe, Design by F.A. Porsche

If you're a real design junkie, you'll love the slim LaCie DVDÃ‚Â±RW, but everyone else would be better served with many other cheaper drives.
