So, I ordered a new external hard drive (Seagate GoFlex Free Agent, FWIW) late
last week and it arrived today. Upon picking up the box, I thought, "Did I
order the wrong item, or did those SOB's /send/ me the wrong item!?!"
Turns out, they sent me the correct item, and I'm so far behind the times
technologically that I had no idea how little a 320 GB USB external hard drive
weighs these days. It seems just a little heavier than an iPod Touch.
sounds like you got a "portable" drive, which is basically a "laptop" (2.5")
drive in small USB case; these are usually a little slower, and a much higher
price per GB, than the large 3.5" drives you are used to, but in addition to
being small they are usually low-powered enough they can run from a USB bus
without a power supply (in my experience power supplies are the least reliable
part in external hard drives)
