Cardbus external hard drives aren't anything new. Granted, they boost plenty of speed, topping at 1056Mbps, but the interface itself is slowly phased out by faster ExpressCard. So, Japanese Aska decides to throw in a USB 2.0 interface to their CardBus storage as a fallback option when someday notebooks become totally CardBus-less. Its dual-interfaced hard drive comes in 20GB and 40GB 1.8" whose CardBus adapter is nifty concealed like a numpad on a clamshell handset; the mini USB port is on the other end of the body. Getting your hands on this novelty will cost you $231 USD for 40GB and $122 USD for 20GB. At these prices, either their nation's inflation is going through the floor or Aska is really trying to rip us off. About Everything USB
