LaCie Silverscreen (40GB)

The 5.5-inch-long, 3.5-inch-wide, 1.1-inch-thick Silverscreen is small and light enough to be portable and plays back a broad array of file formats: MPEG-1 video; VOB movie parts, AVI movie files, or DVD movies ripped in ISO-image format (though not...

Small; plays video and music directly to TVs.

Sluggish PC performance; plays DVDs only in ISO format.

The Silverscreen is a sluggish mobile hard drive with a useful entertainment feature--it plays video and music directly to TV.
