The Bytepotter Hard Drive Lets You Watch Your Computer Work
Michael Hines — March 7, 2011 — Tech
If you've been on the market for a cool and customizable hard drive, stop searching and check out the ByteSpotter from CONVAR. The ByteSpotter is a portable hard drive designed with a transparent case that lets you see just how your computer works.
The ByteSpotter is fully customizable with three different top and bottom covers to choose from. The most interesting feature of the ByteSpotter has to be its transparent case. If you've ever wanted to see how a "a 3.5-inch 7200 rpm 1TB drive, with SATA 300, eSATA and USB 2.0 interface" works, then you're in luck. While not as aesthetically creative as some of the other hard drives featured on Trend Hunter (NES hard drive anyone?), the ByteSpotter gets major points for its polished and transparent look.
