Freecom's latest external hard drive is dinky.

In fact - the manufacturer is claiming that the device is the world's smallest 2.5-inch format USB 2.0 external hard drive at 27% smaller than its closest competitor.

The pocket-sized Mobile Drive XXS is designed to connect to your computer via a USB cable.

It transfers at speeds of up to 480Mbps, and the drive is encased in a "form-fitting rubber sleeve for optimal grip".

It'll work with both Macs and PCs.

The Mobile Drive XXS comes in three storage capacities: 160GB, 250GB and 320GB priced £44.99, £59.99 and £79.99 respectively.

And it weighs 155g and measures 109.8 x 79.5 x 13.5mm.
