Closer look
After peeling off the protective plastic film on either side the STORE looks unbelievably lustrous. If you are after a minimalistic look, then this is it. The only text to be found on this hard drive is the ‘Toshiba’ stamp in the bottom corner.



Being steel in material the STORE is hard wearing and feels cool to handle. As I mentioned in the introduction, this drive oozes portability – it fits into the pocket no problem. Looking at the profile of the drive, it measures just over 1cm which is wafer thin. A typical drive of this class would usually be black and plastic, breaking out of the norm Toshiba have come up with a great solution here I really like the look and feel of this drive.



On the bottom side of the STORE there is a USB socket to connect the drive up to a computer via the provided cable. At the opposite end there is an LED, giving you feedback as to whether the drive has power or not. A nice blue colour illuminates from this LED when connected via USB.



The drive fits perfectly into the leather pouch - worth mentioning is the quality of this leather pouch. It hasn't been thrown together without any design concept or thought process. It feels like quality.



With our examination now over, it’s time to put the STORE through a few tests to gage its overall performance.
