Advantages: Fast and quiet Disadvantages: Lack of instructions
...Can you possibly fill in 80 GB worth of data on your computer?
I can - all those MP3s, applications and games meant that upgrading from an exisiting 10 GB drive was essential.
Costing around £80, the Deskstar 120GXP did not come with any fixtures or fitting, leads or indeed, instructions.
If you are au fait with PC upgrades, all very well, if not you may want someone who is to install it for you.
After 'cloning' the data from my 10 GB drive to the 80 GB Deskstar 120GXP the first thing I noticed is how very quiet the drive is - only the flashing red LED on the front of the PC gives it away.
The drive runs at 7,200 RPM so is considerably faster than old 5,400 RPM drives. You certainly notice the difference - Windows loads faster and games and applications too.
Reviews in magazines have questioned the lifespan of this drive...

Advantages: quick access time, strong Disadvantages: none
...Me and all my team use these memory sticks at work and would recommend them to anyone. They are brill at transferring data between computers and back again, etc. Fast access time as well. I bought a universal (unbranded) 1Gb USB stick off ebay and it takes forever to transfer 200Mb +, but this one can do it in a 3rd of the time. I was inpressed.
They are very strong and built to last.
Excellent storage capacity. Windows XP ghost image no problem what so ever and the time it takes is just like running it from the hard drive.
You get most of the 4Gb space as well, compared to some USB sticks that say 1Gb, 2Gb etc and you dont get like 400Mb or something like that......

Advantages: Capable of Handling heavy applications on Vista Disadvantages: Bulky system cabinet, Recovery CDs to be created from HD partition.
...This pc comes with wireless mouse & keyboard which are not intutive to set up but not the hardest. The monster processor Intel Viiv E6600 works its wonders when working with a processor heavy operating system such as Vista. A decent 2 GB RAM does not stutter any resource heavy software.
The lightscribe DVD is also an excellent innovation letting you burn you label on the flip side of a DVD although its can only do this on "lightscribe" compatible DVDs. The graphics card is almost all you need even for a game like Flight Simulator.
Finally the 400GB hard drive can never get full unless you are using it as a picture / video server. The PC can also be used as a TV. The only bad thing is that there are no recovery CDs and these have to burnt manually using the software and recovery partition on D drive...
