Brinell's Purestorage external hard drives are elegant, but pricey
Brinell has tried its best to combine elegance and performance with their suave-looking new line of Purestorage portable hard drives.
Ranging from 160 to 500 GB, the drives are you could certainly pack away a ton of content in a tiny, stylish box, powered via USB. While the colors are fairly simple yet sleek, it comes in leather, carbon, wood or stainless steel casings. Except for the diamond-pattern, they almost look like mini-MacBooks.
But beauty comes with a price, ranging from $280-$340, and it’s still only available in the UK still. I’m definitely one who would pay more for an attractive product (and I’ve definitely forked over more cash for a better design in the past, maybe even when I shouldn’t have…). But I don’t think I could see myself spending more than $100-150 for an external drive at the moment. They’re are plenty of good looking ones on the market already.
Would you be interested in picking up one of these?
