Over a week since it’s announcement at akihabaranews.com, the Samsung Mini S2 USB 2.0 external hard disk line comes in “Ocean Blue”, “Sweet Pink”, and “Snow White” variants. And yes, it”s designed for the ladies.
Slightly bigger than its predecessor the S1, the Mini S2 takes advantage of the increasingly roomy 2.5″ hard disk platform, offering capacities of up to 500GB. Keeping with the feminine theme, the casing is designed to not look out of place in a handbag, as the pic below illustrates:

No word yet on pricing, but the S2 should be available throughout only South Korea by the end of this month. I wonder if this product was inspired by this old external hard disk design concept?
I have Samsung 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive which works perfectly, pre-formatted to FAT32, build quality is solid and looks great, brushed grey metal case with a granite like feel to the font/back & base, the front has a dial that turns the drive on/off which also doubles as a dimmer for the activity light, transfer rate is quite fast and fairly quick to access, must note that the drive has an auto sleep mode.
