I purchased my Archos QDISK about 12 months ago from a well known TV Shopping Channel, since then its price has fallen somewhat.

This portable hard drive requires no driver for Windows XP or Windows 2000/ME. You simply plug the USB cable into your PC and away you go, it acts just as your local hard drive in that it appears as a Hard Disk Drive with a drive letter when you go to "My Computer".

You can store absolutely anything on this portable hard drive and it seems as though you never run out of space, I am yet to use half of the 60 Gigabytes because there are no operating system files etc.

The QDISK is also great for laptop computer users as it can fit into a laptop case, depending on your case size. However you will probably need some means of strapping to keep it secure.

I take my QDISK on Holiday with my laptop and upload all the days photographs to the QDISK. So I have lots of space on my cameras memory card for the next day.

The QDISK is a great buy and is really easy to use; one important thing to remember though is to safely remove from your computer before switching it off.
