xxs

The Freecom xxs Mobile Drive is the world's smallest 2.5" external hard drive. Instead of a conventional enclosure, the xxs is contained in a rubberized exchangeable cover. The capacity of the drive is visible through a hole which also acts as a grip to open the sleeve. The sleeves can be changed to other colours, ranging from black, silver, gold to light grey. xxs is available up to 640GB. In 2009 we extended the rubber enclosure series to the xs, the ndxs and the UsbMemory. In 2010, Freecom commissioned us to explore new ways of collecting and storing data. This resulted in the Mobile Drive CLS. (See product list for links).
