The creature is a pygmy marmoset, or some such like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pygmy_Marmoset
They make lousy pets - they can be quite aggressive. Throwing sh*t is one of their specialities. Very cute from a distance though...

Not sure if the monkey is real. Check the Tarsier from Bohol (Philippines). Almost the same size. Lol!

why the massive price?
you can get get the same size drives for much less at many outlets and if your willing to use a 3.5" you can probably get a 2tb drive for the price of this 640gb!
does it also make you breakfast in bed or something?
i cant work it out...

I own an S1 (by Samsung) mini. Granted, it's got smaller capacities, but it's that much more mobile. I just have it in a side pocket in my laptop case, and forget about it, until I need it.
I couldn't find another model at this size.
So "smallest 2.5" isn't impressive to me. Sorry.

Looks kind of like a photo shop job, any one know if it is real?

only necessary for people inadvertently dropped or kicked as a baby

What they need is a case that does not crack.

Why? Because hard drives can stand a lot of G if only the electronic bits are protected. Many 2.5" drives are even able to sense they are on the way to the floor and will secure the read/write arms meaning even a running drive can take a beating.
