Ever heard of this? Does that mean I can put my portable hard drive inside it, and plug it into the safe, and then plug the safe into the PC, and my hard drive is always in the safe? I'd love that, not having to put it away and take out as I need it.
 
That is truly the craziest thing I have ever seen!
 
VERY interesting concept. But it has me wondering how you keep the external drive from overheating in there with no air circulating???
