Seen last week at the CeBIT convention and heading to stores shortly is TrekStor’s DataStation maxi t.uch external hard drive. It comes in three sizes (250 GB, 320 GB and 400 GB) and can double for a USB 2.0 hub with its two ports up at the front.

Compatible with Windows Vista and everything back to Win 2000, as well as OS X and Linux, this is a nice and easy way to backup your system at the touch of a button and also to take it with you if you like. The unit’s 9-in-1 card reader offers you a variety of supported formats for your memory card needs so you should be able to practically plug and download right out of the box.

TrekStor claims that this baby has low energy needs and is practically silent when in use. The 250 gig model will set you back about $160 while the higher end 400 GB one sells for $230.
