The FireWire/USB Hard Drive With USB,
UDH-UEH400 03/23/2005 04:53 AM

IO Data Device has come up with another hum-dinger. If you were to put an enormous hard drive inside a USB 2.0/FireWire casing, give it some blue LEDs, and add a USB port, you'd end up with the 400GB "UDH-UEH400." Not only does it connect by USB (or FireWire), but it has a USB port. If you're like me and have a single USB port on your computer, you certainly wouldn't want it being taken up by just a hard drive. Yeah, I know daisy chaining has been around for years and years with SCSI (and thus FireWire, its distant cousin), but I think this is one of the first applications of it I've seen in USB form. Somehow, it can even recognize USB devices if you connect the drive by FireWire. Don't ask me how that works; I didn't realize something like that was even possible.
