You know, something deep, deep inside of us knew that this was going to happen (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/michael-jackson-this-is-it-ps3-bundle-makes-it-a-better-place/), but with Michael Jackson's untimely departure of Planet Earth back in the news thanks to Mr. Conrad Murray's arraignment, it seems like the glut of This Is It-related gear (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/06/gold-and-diamond-covered-michael-jackson-phone-fashionably-late/) is even touching the typically straightforward tech industry. The drive you're weeping at above is the February 22nd-bound 500GB S2 Portable (http://www.engadget.com/tag/samsung,s2), complete with a paint job that can only be described as overkill. Jackson's final film (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/10/this-is-it-blu-ray-release-debuts-movieiq-sync-brings-more-mich/) is pre-loaded on here (and likely entangled in DRM), as well as Samsung's own Auto Backup feature that'll keep your aged concert photos safe for a few more decades. Of course, the inclusion of a "SecretZone" service -- which encrypts specific files while requiring a password to access -- seems a bit tasteless given the subject matter here, but leave it to Samsung to Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
