Flotec Pockey Drive
That's what the Pockey Drive looks like. As mentioned in the introduction, Flotec uses a simple 2.5" IDE hard drive (see next picture). Although the green plastic case looks pretty good, I would try to avoid dropping it or applying pressure to it.
Flotec uses a hard drive from Fujitsu (MHK-2060AT), which is widely used in many notebooks. 6 GB is still a common size for 2.5" notebook hard drives, but bigger models could easily be used in Flotec's Pockey as well.
In my opinion, a 2.5" drive seems to be by far the best choice for a USB storage device. A 3.5" drive would be too heavy as well as noisy, and its data transfer performance would be completely wasted on the 12 MBit/s limitation of USB. In addition, 3.5" drives are more sensitive to physical shock than 2.5" models. When engineers design drives for notebooks, the ability to withstand physical shock is a highly important aspect, and this aspect is something from which the Pockey Drive also benefits.
