Full review

This external hard drive is perfect for anyone that owns a laptop, although it can also be connected to a PC.

Looks

The looks of this hard drive is minimalistic yet looks modern and sleek with an orange light on the front that glows when in operation. The size of the hard drive is very small, hence being perfect for laptop users as it can easily fit into a laptop bag. The hard drive also makes no sound what-so-ever.

Using the Hard Drive

It is a very easy component to use. All that you need to do is plug it in to your laptop of PC through the USB connector. The USB connector has a data+power cable and a secondary power cable for USB ports that cant supply enough power through the single port. This hard drive only has 120 gb worth of space but it is possible to get upto 160gb if 120gb is too small. Also if the 120gb hard drive is too much space, you can also get an 80gb hard drive from FreeAgent Go. The transfer speeds between a PC/laptop to the hard drive are very fast with speeds of 5400RPM, a fast speed for a hard drive of that capacity.

Software

There is little amount of software already installed onto the hard drive however the software that is installed is very useful enabling the user to enable passwords and safenotes using the AI RoboForm which can easily be downloaded from the ceedo program directory.

Cost

This product cost me £70 from Argos, but it can also be bought at many computer based stores including PC World. Costs usually vary between £60 and £80 but if you look in the right places you can probably find a new one for around £50.

Problems/Other Info

There have currently been no problems with this hard drive, it was easy to install with no formatting or installation of programs, just plug it straight into the USB port and your ready to transfer data straight away.
