As much as I am enamored with USB “thumb” drives, some storage problems — such as system backups — need a more robust solution. Robust need not mean bulky.

Among this crop of mini-drives are the Maxtor OneTouch Mini III and the Pexagon Store-It. If you like the convenience of thumb drives but have storage demands that outstrip the capacity of those dongles, these palm-sized drives will meet your needs in a convenient and untaxing way.
