Western Digital Introduces Ultra-Thin 6GB USB Pocket Drive
Western Digital Corp. today introduced a miniature digital storage device. The new USB 2.0 WD Passport Pocket Drives, about the size of a matchbox-measuring about one-third of an inch thin, one of the thinnest of any hard-drive based storage device, and weighing only 1.6 ounces-conveniently store 6 GB of digital content and can fit into the smallest of pockets and purses. WD Passport Pocket Drives offer consumers one of the easiest ways to transport large digital files-personal or business-and to share files between Mac and PC computers. They can be used with any computer having a USB port. Measuring 0.37 x 2.41 x 1.80 inches and housing a one-inch WD hard drive inside, the ultra-thin WD Passport Pocket Drives feature a unique flip-out, rotating USB 2.0 connector that allows use in tight spaces. WD Passport Pocket Drives are powered by the computer so a separate power supply is not needed. An activity light on the drive glows when the drive is connected and flashes when the drive is storing data. WD Passport Pocket Drives are available at storefront and online retailers, and via the company's online store here. Estimated pricing for the WD Passport Pocket Drive 6 GB capacity is $129 USD.

A small sd card holder + a usb sd card reader would be about the same size as that anyways.
