I know you love your laptop, but let’s admit it, it didn’t come with enough hard disk space. So much for our love for our laptops, we usually end up buying an external hard drive anyway. Usually though, this either takes up desk real estate, or causes your laptop to be no-so-portable anymore. You can try it yourself, it’s no fun lugging your laptop around with wires attached to it and something dangling at the end of the wire. So when we found this Hang it On hard drive enclosure, we feel like it’s a gift from the gadget gods. You can throw a 500GB inside and attach this to the back of your laptop like a tumor then *boom* no more running-out-of-space problem. [Yanko via Laptop Notebook News]
