NetDock: For The Netbook-Traveller

Jun 11 2010, 1:33pm CDT | by Robert Evans

Traveling with a netbook saves you space and weight. In exchange, you give up storage space and optical drives. Unless you buy an Apricorn Aegis NetDock (Gearlog), that is. This $189 gadget is a 500 GB external HDD with a dual-layer DVD burner and 4 USB slots. It is roughly the size of a stapler.

The NetDock comes with syncing software to help you keep things backed up. It powers off automatically when not connected to anything, and you can add more storage by opening the HDD enclosure and swapping things out. Sans HDD, the NetDock costs $89.
