5GB Pocket Hard Drive

I came across this today and found it interesting. While I recognize that most thumb drives are not quite this big, I know that I own a thumb drive with 4GB of space. Which is why I scratch my head at this (rather miniscule) offering from Seagate.

A 5 GB USB pocketsize hard drive. How is this different that a big thumb drive, I have no idea.

Cheers, LaptopLog who reviewed the device (en espanol):

Los Pocket Hard Drives son discos duros pequeños con gran capacidad de almacenamiento, este de la marca Seagate, tiene la capacidad de almacenar 5 gigas de información a 3600 rpm, tiene 2 MB de cache y se conecta a la notebook por un puerto USB2.
Tiene protección contra golpes y el cable es completamente retractable.
Precio: 99 dólares.
.

And to prove to myself that I can still “do” Spanish:

This pocket hard drive is a drive with a lot of space, with the Seagate brand, and with 5 GB of data at 3600 RPM and a 2 MB cache that connects via USB2. The cable is retractable.

Price: $99

I think.
