When it comes to absolute portability with your external hard disk, it is time to look at the size and the usability of the drive. What you want to look for is an ultra portable external hard drive that has the fastest connectivity that is currently available. This means that you should be looking for a drive that has the latest connections paired with a nice and sleek design that fits in your pocket. Is this available? I say that it is.

Western Digital is very well known for the high quality hard drives that they produce, and the fact that they like to provide their customers with what they want. They have mad a series of My Passport drives that are literally not much bigger than your wallet, so they fit in your pocket if you want to. It comes with a nice glossy surface that makes it look like something else than an external hard drive.

USB 3.0 is touted to be over ten times as fast as USB 2.0 and you can definitely notice it when you are using this ultra portable hard drive. Just plug it in your computer and transfer the files – the technology can go up to 5 gB/s but there are limitations that don’t allow you to use this speed just yet. Although we are quite sure that during the next few years it is possible to get access to all this speed, this drive is still very fast and comfortable to use.

Automatic backups, hardware encryption and extremely small design are just a few of the features that make this drive worth the money. Did I mention that it comes in two sizes  750gB and 1 terabyte! That should be more than enough for most of the users who are looking for something that is really portable. Heck it is enough for most people looking for any external hard drive.

If you are someone who absolutely needs a copier in their line of work in order to exist, and you have to be on the go for your work, you might want to look in to portable or handheld equipment to make your life just a little bit easier. If until now you have been mostly using the equipment that you can find at a location, let me tell you that there is something that can solve your problem. Having a handheld scanner is a lifesaver for most professionals that need this kind of equipment.

But it doesn’t end there. These portable scanners are much more than just scanners, and when you get one that has a built in memory, you can take scans of documents, photos and basically anything, even if it isn’t connected to your laptop. These are very useful for people who need to be on foot, or just away from their laptop and still need to do scans of things. A good application would be the bouncer of a nighclub – they could take scans of all the ID cards and passports that are presented to them to verify the age of the person entering the club. That way in case they would need it, or the police would need it, they would have a collection of all the people who were in there last night for example.

Mobile printers are pretty similar to portable scanners, but they usually are larger in size, and require a table to be used on. So you might want to keep it in your car or in your laptop case – don’t get me wrong, they still are pretty small in size and definitely can carry them with. Some of these machines are more useful than you would thing, and when you use them in conjunction with your laptop and scanner, you have yourself a copier!

All you have to do is scan the image, and print it. Because you are connected through a computer, you have the perfect opportunity to first see if the image is great, and you can even do some alterations in the colors. If you have a high resolution handheld scanner, you can get quite good images that you can then modify to make the colors better, take something out of the picture or add a watermark or something similar. These are perfect for professionals who need to make copies regularly and don’t want to waste paper with poor prints. You could even fit multiple scans on to one paper with some photo-editing.

Thanks to the advancements in the technology used in handheld scanners, you can usually find them to be sort of a wand shape that you just need to swipe across the area you are scanning. They have a motion sensor chip which will detect motion in the image that they are scanning, and they will arrange the pixels so that they will come out correctly in the file.
