Freecom Classic SL Network Drive 320 GB

Advantages: Portable Drive, take your music and files anywhere !
Disadvantages: Easy to knock

...Freecom Classic SL 250GB USB2 External Computer Hard Drive. The Freecom 250GB Classic SL drive was a bargain when i bought it, even PC World were selling it cheap ! I paid £89.99 when the offer was on at PC World. The drive has a massive 250 GB capacity sat inside a USB case which simply plugs into the USB slot on your computer, because of this, you can take your music and files practically anywhere and can back up your system and keep it unplugged for times when you think you might have a virus ! this is much easier to do than to open up the box and unplug a second "internal" hard drive. The drive has an average seek time of <9ms, a track to seek time of 0.8ms and an average latency of 4.2ms. These figures basically mean that this drive is no slouch ! The USB 2.0 connection means that it has a transfer rate of UP TO 480... Read review

Advantages: Very Reliable, Fast Transfer Speed
Disadvantages: quite heavy for a external Hard drive (not too heavy)

...Ive owned this product for just over a year now, its been very reliable unlike other external hard drives ive had in the past. Freecom are a good brand of Back-Up Devices, 250 Gb has proved to be more than enough space for what i needed to back up. All of my music, Films, PICTURES, Work Files all fit onto it with still more than 120 Gb Spared. The Transfer speed is also very fast. I also do alot of travelling, so i need the External Hard drive to transfer my files from place to place. And the Freecom Hard Drive has proved to be very durable whilst travelling with it for quite some time. I would recomend this to any person who needs a backup/storage device as you wont find a better product for value for money.... Read review

Advantages: it's size
Disadvantages: doesn't work that well with older pc's

...This external hard drive is great value for money. The drive itself is housed in a nice slimline case and is powered via a AC adapter supply and connected to the computer via a USB port. One of the main features of the drive is that it will turn itself off when you power down you computer so you don't really have to worry about unplugging the power supply. Another smart feature is you can have a number of these drives stacked upon each other. On the case itself is a blue LED which indicates that the drive is powered up and flickers during data transfers so you know it's in use. As for noise, after you power up the drive you will not even know it's powered up because it's just so quiet. The only noise you do hear is when data is being written or being extracted and even then you can hardly hear it. One problem I have found... Read review
