The LG XD4 is a 3.5″ external HDD that comes in three capacities – 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB. The portable hard disk drive market all over the world is booming, primarily because of digital gadgets and applications becoming increasingly portable and the exponential increase in the computational power of such gadgets.
The XD4 comes in a highly polished shockproof aluminum casing, there are two vents to ensure temperature control even when the drive is used for long periods. Hi-res images, documents, programs and application suites can be stored on the XD4. The HDD is 34 mm thick and features one-button backup. The backup software works on PC and can backup data on other storage applications. As of now there is no information on product pricing and availability.
Although the XD4 looks a little too big for an external HDD, one possible use that could really pick up in my opinion would be to carry entire application suites for teams of marketing personnel. For example, with its capacities it can easily take mobile CRM to the next level; particularly if automatic and regular updating of databases can be achieved.
