If you want to save on the space you have and not take along every single gadget that you have, you can make at least one contribution to this effort by leaving behind your portable hard drive at home. To compensate for this loss, you can instead turn your iPod into a portable iPod hard drive. To do this you will need to enable your iPod to act as a hard drive. This means that you will also need to manually eject your iPod from your computer when you connect to it, just as you would for a normal portable hard drive. You will then be able to use your iPod as a portable iPod hard drive, and the more space you have available on your iPod hard drive the more you can store on it. For instance if you have a 40G or even 60GB iPod hard drive capacity, and your songs have filled only one tenth of this capacity, you will have the remaining space on your iPod to use as a portable hard drive. Why though, would you want to go through the hassle of this and do this? After all, the portable hard drive you’re replacing with your portable iPod hard drive, is small and easily taken with you everywhere you go, besides which it takes up hardly any space at all. These however, are also the reasons that you might prefer to leave this at home and take your newly enabled iPod hard drive along with you instead. For one thing, it’s very easy to lose one of those small portable hard drive keys, and for another thing, they’re also very easily misplaced. And who in their right minds is going to misplace their iPod? Besides which, it’s much easier to find your iPod from among the clutter in your work bag, than it is to find one small (and getting smaller by the day) portable hard drive. It’s by far easier to turn your normal music playing iPod into a portable iPod hard drive. As mentioned earlier, this is especially true with an iPod that has 8GB and over, of hard drive space. Another thing that you might want to take into consideration is that your iPod is hardly ever out of your sight when you’re traveling, whereas, you would probably think to keep your small portable hard drive safely tucked away in a pocket somewhere it wouldn’t get lost!
