Is That 500GB In Your Pocket Or...?

Alright, I admit it: I *might* have a huge small portable drive fetish.
Happily, Buffalo is obliging my appetite for large storage in portable, rugged packages with their recent release of a 500GB version of the MiniStation TurboUSB.
What's so special about the MiniStation TurboUSB? (is this becoming one of my tag lines? I feel I write this a lot...)
Not only is the MiniStation TurboUSB a small 2.5 inch drive, but the magic is in the disk controller, which through some Buffalo secret sauce technology boasts data transfer rates of up to 35MBs/sec - 30% faster than other 5,400RPM drives on the market.
The drive also comes in hardened plastic shell with built-in cable holder, runs off of USB power, and works with both Windows and Mac OS X without any drivers.
I'll definitely file this one under WANT.
