Transcend has added a new portable hard drive in its arsenal of data storage products –  the shock resistant StoreJet 25 mobile. For a hard drive to be called portable, it must not only be small in size but light weight, high capacity and well protected. This is exemplified by Trascend’s newest portable hard drive, the StoreJet25 mobile.

Just by looking at the release photos of the StoreJet 25 mobile alone, you’d immediately notice its durability specifically if you noticed the extra-rugged silicon case that is covering the StoreJet 25. Make no mistake though, the rugged feature is not all for aesthetic purpose but it serves as a proofing for the StoreJet 25 mobile. It protects data damage due to accidental slips or falls. In fact the StoreJet 25 mobile has already passed the U.S. military drop test (MIL-STD-810F) hence making it a shock-resistant HD.

My 2GB USB drive works just fine for my purposes, but in case you need a lot of size, then you might want to consider this new 32GB flash drive by Transcend.

Dubbed the JetFlash V60, it sports a size similar to that of a AA battery - so it’s pretty small and easy to take places. Additionally, it comes with a whole slew of features integrated into it, such as Website AutoLogin, PC-Lock, Mobile Favorites, Secret-Zip encryption, Data Backup and Online Update. It works well with both Windows and Mac, and it even works with Linux.

So far, no word on availability, but expect it to retail for about $194, which isn’t too bad considering its storage capabilities.
