Verbatim InSight USB Drive with Always-on Capacity Display

Check out this 6 oz. Verbatim InSight USB hard drive. Sporting a shiny piano black finish, the InSight in its durable enclosure is oddly reminiscent of a digital scale with its LCD in front. But unlike a scale, the 128 x 32-pixel screen on the Verbatim hard drive displays the drive name and the remaining capacity even when USB cord is pulled. We bet Verbatim envisions the future when everyone would own at least several of these InSight's and heavily rely on the Always On LCD for drive identification.

However, with today's portable drive capacity breaking 1TB mark, we can squeeze so much data inside a single enclosure that a better portable indexing and searching program might be what users really want. Instead Verbatim gives us Nero BackupItUp Essentials, complete with auto system backup and data encryption. Expect Verbatim InSight 320GB and 500GB backed by a 5-year warranty to hit retail at around $120 and $150 respectively.
