Epson Hard drive 2.8 GB

Advantages: Additional capacity - worked out of the box
Disadvantages: None

...I totally agree with first reviewer. Worked out of the box. I partitioned the 400 GB into two drives using Partition Magic 8 (which had previously baulked at a 160 GB internal HDD) and am using one for storage of digital images (duplicates to CD/DVD backups). Mine, even after three hours use, did not get hot - rather a nice warm value. It works very quietly and I can fully recommend this make and model as exceptionally good and extremely good value for money. When I think back to the 40 MB disc I used for years (Drivespaced, too) I cannot but think what fantastic value for money this is. As a supplement to my internal 2 X 120 GB HDDs, it will provide an additional capacity for my growing storage of high quality digital images (I am now a retired PRO Photographer and teacher of, says he blushingly, high international reputation)...

Advantages: Lots of storage space for Rock Bottom prices
Disadvantages: You have to get the pins correctly inserted with the cables as you can choose the size of the hard drive with this technique

...This has got to be one of the best buys I have ever made for a hard drive. 160gb for that price is a like a bargain at a car boot sale. Not only does it have gigantic storage space, it is reliable because of the 8mb cache. Most hard drives that are cheap come with a 2mb cache whcih make them work slower. So if you buy this product, you know it will never fail on you. This makes it very reliable. Many hard drives are unreliable because of the size and it can't actually handle the data. This is easy to install, and would take a maximum of five minutes to get up and running. It has enormous storage capabilities at high speeds. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a new hard drive with enough space and at a rock bottom price.... Read review
