edges, and a square form factor. This drive
really stands out from the crowd! Designed
by Arman Emami, winner of numerous
industrial design awards. The uniqueness of
the Hard Drive Sq predominantly lies in its
shape. Rather than your standard external
hard drive box, this drive has an almost
square form factor and features organic
shapes with rounded edges.
