Feisty Singapore startup EDS Lab is showing off their WiDRIVE in a small booth tucked deep in the bowels of CeBIT. The WiDRIVE is an 802.11b/g WiFi drive enclosure for 1.8 and 2.5-inch drives. There are other wireless disk solutions available, but WiDRIVE claims theirs is the only portable solution (yeah, it has a rechargeable battery rated for 2-hours of continuous op) which provides direct access to disk from your laptop. In other words, if you're running XP then it looks just like a regular ol' disk drive, you can even boot your OS from it...or so says EDS Lab. We got a demo of the product running video off the WiDRIVE that, worked. However, it lurched noticeably at times albeit in a convention center hall flooded with about 80 different WiFi networks. Still, they have a few months to work out the kinks since the WiDRIVE won't be turned-out proper until July for about $95 -- Europe first.





It's all packed in -- no external antenna protruding from these enclosures.


Available in white or black as these things generally go.
