Retro throwbacks never ever get old, even in the ever-evolving technological world, as the Freecom Mobile Drive CLS proves. Inspired by vintage cassette tapes, it brings back a sense of nostalgia, when tech was simpler and, perhaps, more cumbersome.
The German-made, Belgian-designed Freecom Mobile Drive CLS is simple and durable, with labels that encourage handwritten organization, something that is also slowly dying. Sold for $20, the hard drive is both convenient and, let's face it, cute.
