Buffalo LinkStation Pro Shared Network Storage LS-1000GL - NAS - 1 TB - Serial ATA-150 - HD 1 TB x 1 - Gigabit Ethernet

Toshiba 1TB Desktop Hard Drive (USB)

Advantages: Value for money, massive storage, great design, decent speeds!
Disadvantages: Bright flasing blue/red/purple light on the front.

My laptop is fairly old but has served me very well (it's a Toshiba incidentaly) , it has about 27GB of storage space which nowdays isn't enough for all my work as well as movies and music. I decided to look at some external hard drives so I could store everything that I wanted and more. This particular model appealed to me, not just because it was the cheapest, but because it had very good specs (1TB of storage to say the least) and was a Toshiba. A very good brand that I trust. So I forked out the cash and had it delivered to my door. Opening the box, I saw that it was slightly longer but overall smaller than it had apeared online. This was fine as I am not bothered about space. It comes supplied with everything you need to get it running and took me about 2 mins to read the quick start guide and get it going.

Buffalo LinkStation Live - Easy Network Storage

Advantages: Easy access to files, claim back computer hard drive space
Disadvantages: Not as fast as a USB2 or Firewire hard drive

This compact box contains a SATA hard drive and sports a nice front panel with informative status LED's up front. Around the back of the unit you plug in your power cable (the power supply is in the unit itself, so no external brick). The back also sports the 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet socket, so it is nice to see that Gigabit speeds are supported. When viewing the back you can also see a vent, behind this hides a tiny fan for cooling purposes. In use, you can definitely hear the fan, but is is very quiet, so not intrusive at all. There is also a USB 2.0 port, which is great. It allows you to plug ...

Review of Buffalo LinkStation Live HS-DH320GL

The Maxtor Basics 1 TB looks amazing and is very user friendly.

Advantages: Huge storage space, Looks beautiful, Very easy to install and use, Loads videos very quickly.
Disadvantages: None really.

drives available and is designed very well. 5/5 Ease of Installation The Maxtor comes with an install disk but does not require it, driver files are also contained on the hard drive itself and the simple ?plug and play? system that this allows means that files can be easily stored and accessed from any laptop or computer you plug it into. The Maxtor 1 TB is easy to install and should take no longer than ten seconds. 5/5 Ease of Use The Maxtor is very easy to use, simply plug it into the USB port and away you go. It is recognised as a regular mass storage drive and has no special interface, making it very easy for those who are not technophiles. You can simply drag and drop or copy and paste files into it, the Maxtor is truly the definition of easy to use. 5/5 Instruction Manual My Maxtor 1 TB came ...
