Abstract
The embodied invention is a bendable portable hard drive holder with four foldable arms, an adhering central element, a surface adhering element for attachment to a surface, and bendable metal in the 4 foldable arms. The invention is suited for portable use with a hard drive as the two adhering elements are separable, such as by use of a magnet or hook and loop attachment. The holder remains on the hard drive for improved convenience.
