Samsung Electronics has just announced an easy to carry hard drive that comes pre-loaded with the movie ‘Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT,’ the S2 Portable hard drive. You might have guessed right now that the release date is exactly that of the DVD and Blu-ray launch of the movie.

For the specs, the Samsung S2 Portable hard drive sports USB On Board Technology, as is compliant with some of the company’s user-friendly features like Samsung Auto Backup, that allows for real-time or scheduled backup, as well as SecretZone that enables users to encrypt and store data on a virtual drive. Of course, there’s the SafetyKey feature which is a strong data-security function offering dual data protection via a password.

Other information is that the Samsung S2 Portable will be available at most of the major European retailers by February 22. It’s so delightful how portable hard drives change their usability according to the marketing strategy, especially this one that is, of course, a perfect solution for users that are building their personal movie collections on their PCs. Well, if it’s on their PCs, why would they want to store them on a portable hard drive? Sure, one can store multiple movies, so they he or she can share with friends, but definitely won’t risk having the personal collection on a portable.

With availability mentioned for Europe retailers in the same time frame as the DVD & Blu-ray launch, the Samsung S2 Portable will have a price tag of only $109.95.
