External Hard Drives

Storage Colossus

Advantages: Huge space, great price, looks amazing and is silent!
Disadvantages: Could be unreliable, Fingerprint and dust magnet and need to be plugged into a power source

Please rate when done reading! INTRO First of all I am going to start of with the price. Now looking around I spent a while trying to decide which was going to be best for me when it came to choosing a hard drive. But this is pretty much the all - in - one for me. PRICE I bought it from amazon for £77 and for that price you get a TB!! Next it looks fantastic, a clean modern design with sleek curves and a really glossy surface, very simplistic, ...
...SIZE The only thing that did surprise me was the fact that it is about the size of a medium sized novel (harry potter three kind of size). But i would definitely urge you to consider this device if you are a light user and want to keep everything safe. SPACE With that TB of space which is 1000GB or 1 million MB you could store upto 200,000 songs or just under 1000 DVDs!! I backed up my entire PC including the windows and users files and it still ...

Review of Toshiba Hard drive 500 GB

Great capacity hard disk for the price, stylish and simple too.

Advantages: Great Value, very reliable
Disadvantages: Short cables, and shows up fingerprints

I purchased the LaCie 1TB as my first external hard drive, about 6 months ago. I wasn't sure how much space I would be needing, but as the LaCie was on offer for £75 for 1TB I couldn't really resist. The promotional literature for this Hard disk seems to keep reminding us that it was designed by Neil Poulton, someone who I'm not aware of, but must be pretty good judging by the design of this product. It is rare when talking about an external hard ...
...what is included? well, the LaCie supports lots of different transfer methods, I used the firewire, but it also comes with cables for USB and a few others, I think this choice is great. Unfortunately the cables are very short, which would be fine if you want the hard disk to sit right next to your desktop PC. But I'm using a laptop, and the nearest desk, which was only a short distance away, was too far for the cable to reach. I had to resort to ...

The LaCie Rugged All-Terrain External 250 hard-drive is a portable storage device which will allow you to store 250gb of multimedia files such as pictures, music and video. You will obviously also be able to hold documents and other files as well (e.g. software installations). Measuring at 9 cm wide, 14.5 cm long, 2.5 cm in height and weighing just 250 grams, making the LaCie external hard-drive very light as well as portable. The hard-drive is ...
...amount. So, looking at the LaCie external hard-drive you will be looking at a memory capacity of 230-240 GB, which in this case is not a large chunk, but is still considerable. There is no known reason why all hard-drives (including the LaCie) have less memory than stated, it may be due to the internal disk within the outer case not being able to hold the stated amount or it may be that company's want to make a profit out of its customers. No on ...

Review of LaCie Rugged Hard Disk Hard drive 250 GB

WD Passport is great but lacks durability

Advantages: Design, Price
Disadvantages: Fragile casing

...have had is that the WD syncronisation centre pops up instead of my files - this has happened a few times not sure why but i just found my passport drive and went into my files that way. Major problem i have had with this hard drive is with the casing. I did not buy a carry case which i wish i did as my passport has cracked all around the sides and bits have broken off. This happened quite easily just in transit. The casing is very fragile to any ...
