excellent value for money and no power adapter

Advantages: quite operation easy set up easy to format and partition just like pen drive
Disadvantages: 320 gig turned out to be only 300 thought that was a bit naughty

After buying this with my Birthday Money I wondered if I had made the right choice. There were higher capacity ones on the market for the same price. However I bought it because it doesn't need a bulky power adapter and to add extra storage for my pictures and music. To install it is a breeze. All you have to do is plug it in and windows detects the drive and assigns it a letter. You can then format it, partition it using the windows drivemanager ...
...is as its already formatted. I chose to format it as NTFS and then to partition it into 3 section for music, pics and data. This was easy to do and soon I was plugging it in and playing. The operation of the drive is very quiet and it has a 3 yr warranty you can't say fairer than that. Having had bulkier drives in the past I can honestly say this stands up to them no problems at all. The other hard drives in the past were so noisy I had to turn ...

Iomega eGo - stylish, affordable and shock resistant

Advantages: Good looking, small, lightweight, additional software included, can be dropped...
Disadvantages: Not the fastest in terms of file transfer

...34615 I bought my Iomega eGo hard drive a few months ago. My laptop has only 40GB hard drive capacity and almost all of it was already used, which made it slower and slower and impossible to run some programs, updates or applications. I decided to buy a portable hard drive, easy to carry but most of all capable of storing all the content of my computer as well as many more files for the future. I had been searching for the ‘perfect’ portable drive ...
...sexy’. And so I did. Iomega drive not only looked good but also had a few interesting features and was recommended in computer magazines.

FreeAgent Desktop External Hardrive

Advantages: Looks good and easy to use
Disadvantages: None really - transfer speed could be better but could be down to my computer as much as anything

I have never had any major problems with this hard drive reliabilitty wise it's very good - the transfer speed isn't excellant but it does the job, and i generally use it it for bulk storage/ backup and i normally have it set it off copying in the background so i don't notice it too much anyway, and it's quite too which helps. In my opinion for a desktop external hard drive it has a very good design, and is smaller than some with the same disk space. ...
