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. I then decided to ...
Advantages: Huge storage space, Looks beautiful, Very easy to install and use, Loads videos very quickly. Disadvantages: None really.
I had previously owned other previous external hard drives, however my previous one which was 250gb, was getting a bit cramped so I decided to make the leap to an external with 1terabyte of space. I put my faith in the Maxtor Basics 1TB and I was not disappointed.
Capacity
Having 1TB of space means that most will struggle to fill it, even after having it for three months and constantly putting large video files and music albums onto it I have yet to fill a third of it. My average music album is 50MB, so therefore on the Maxtor 1TB I could fit?20,000 albums on the hard drive, which is an incredible amount. Whilst I am sure there are people who will fill this space, even my excessive video and music collection is nowhere near filling the Maxtor and most users will never fill the terabyte of space.
5/5

Advantages: cheap - all that it is Disadvantages: poor structure, prone to overheating, not reliable
