“External” hard drive, eh?
We like a challenge, and the Hitachi SimpleDrive Turbo 3.5 2TB US External Hard Drive seems like a good one. “For external use only,” the name seems to say. As if we’d give up there!
If you’re going to have a repository for all your videos, songs, files, and anything else you want to cram in there, you need a safe place for it. And what place is safer than your abdominal cavity? All you need is a scalpel and some can-do spirit!
Let us know how it goes, unless it goes poorly. In that case we never suggested anything.
