O.T. Ipod as a Hard Drive |
|
|
FYI
I'm sure allot of you are aware of this. For those who aren't.
I was in need of a transportable hard drive to move large amounts of files
between my home office and my contract design office. A 4 or six gig drive
wasn't enough. I checked into the new 30 and 60 gig Ipod and there was a
little blurb about using it as a hard drive. I went in and bought a 60 gig
Ipod to test it out. Sure enough all you have to do (on a XP machine) is
plug it in a USB 2.0 port and it fires right up. Grabs a drive letter, up
to "f" and you can drag and drop to the "Ipod" drive. Really works slick. It
also give the benefit of your own "tunes" at work if you like. If you are
already up to drive "f" you will have to "disconnect" temporarily a cd
drive or whatever, because Ipod only drabs up to "f". It seems to have
surprisingly fast transfer rates

If you have Tweak UI from MS, you can enable drives beyond F:. I recently
plugged my memory stick in a I:, and my external backup drive is H:.
Other than that, I can't think of why the iPod should be limited to F:. |

As an alternative, I use bus powered 2.0 USB external harddrives from
Outpost.com.(Fry's Electronics). From time to time, they're on sale for as
little as $59.00 - $109.00, 20GB - 60GB. They're just laptop hardrives in a
case.
