LG Slim XD3 external
hard drive

Theo Boshoff
This little, and we mean little, portable hard drive is perfect for the traveller who needs storage space for any digital content while away from home.

The LG XD3 is only 13mm thick and is roughly the size of the 30s cigarette box, remember those? In the style department, this portable hard drive also makes an impact with its brushed aluminium body, sporting rubberised sides for better grip when picking it up, also helping as shock or impact absorbers.

The XD3 is a self-powered USB 2.5-inch SATA hard drive offering USB 2.0 data transfer rates of 480Mbps and 500GB storage space, which is ample space and speed for the average Joe or the high-intensity digital content collector.

It's easy to use and is true plug-and-play for normal data transfer tasks, but for added security and a proper backup system, we suggest you check out the electronic manual on the disk that comes along with the device.

The LG XD3 is compatible with both Windows and Mac machines and with its sexy style in brushed silver aluminium and white rubber sides, even Mac fans will like it.
