"Still, we think the S1 looks rather snazzy, but what really matters is the size: the S1's about the size of a packet of smokes - 87 x 62 x 15.5mm, according to Reg Hardware's handy ruler - making it eminently pocketable and portable."
About time the fag packet was added to the list of Reg standard units.

I've just been reading the articles about the pirate bay, so the comment about the music files jumped out immediately. Surely this device is the perfect accessory for a music pirate, being easily pocketable and capable of holding gazillions of pounds worth of 'hot' music.

I'll think you'll find the shorter cord is for power only and not data. It is for times when a single USB 2.0 won't supply enough current to operate this drive so use 2x USB sockets.

Nope, it's not a power cable. The S1 has only one USB port, there's nowhere to attach a second USB cable even if you wanted to. Neither cable supplied by Samsung is double-headed.
