Southern California's I/O Magic has launched a 40 Gigabyte portable hard drive for use with desktop and laptop personal computers.

I/O Magic said Data to Go requires no external power supply and operates on a high-speed USB 2.0 connection. It is compatible with Windows XP/2000/ME, and its transfer rate maxes at 480 megabits per second.
