Rating: - A very handy media drive
This product by HP is a very handy and portable media drive. It is well designed; comes in its own case and includes a twin usb connection cable. It is small enough to fit into a male's pocket. I find it to be more handy and cheaper than several flash drives adding up to its capacity of 160GB.
Rating: - HP Pocket Media Drive PD1600s
HP's Pocket Media disk drive is, may I say, a cute little device about the size of a small softback book. It easily plugs into any convenient USB port to receive or deliver stored data.

The HP PD1600 is convenient to use when you need to move data from one computer to another. However, it's capacity is too small to backup your system. With terabyte drives hitting the market, a 160GB backup drive doesn't cut it.
Rating: - Ideal for my needs
I recently purchased a new HP Pavilion and noticed the two media drive bays, one for the "pocket" drive and the other for the "personal". In the interest of upgrading my backup options, I bought one of each. As the name implies, the pocket drive's form factor is smaller...by approximately half, I'd say.
