I am thinking about purchasing a little hard drive to put in the slot on the top of my Touchsmart IQ816. I am afraid that with the IQ816 no longer being sold that the external disk drive will become unavailable. Is it the HP Pocket Media Drive. Is this the right one?

HP 500GB Pocket Media Drive (AU187AA#ABA)

 Thanks

That's the correct drive, and it's not going away, HP uses it in a variety of places in addition to the TouchSmart line.

I got a couple of them and Love them. Not only do they work in the pocket media slot but they come with a cable as well which allows you to connect them to any computer with USB ports. The ones from HP also come with a nice zippered carrying case.

If you are a bit industrious and have an extra laptop drive, search ebay for the pocket media drive enclosure. I got one for 19.00 and added a 250 gig HDD to it.
