Advantages: SIze, portability, reliablity Disadvantages: 120gb capacity is average
...I purchased one of these harddrives a good 6 months ago. Still running perfectly and I use it daily. 120gb is big enough to fulfill the needs of the majority of users. Altho larger capacity harddrives are available from freecom.
Maybe the best thing about this harddrive, is its small size and portability, fits in your jeans pocket, can easily take those most important files anywhere you need them.
I personally even use it in conjunction with my DVD player which has USB compatibility, to view my files such as Photos & Videos straight onto my TV.
Another good thing about the harddrive, comes with software that enables you to backup your computer onto the external harddrive.
Overall, certainly worth the money for portablity, reliability and general use....

Advantages: Hugh storage space Disadvantages: Extra cables around PC
...This harddrive is perfect. It is 500gb in size, which is more than enough for storing hundreds of films, thousands of documents, music, etc... You will not run out of space for a long time.

Installation
---------------
The box came through the post, i opening it, pluged it in the mains, connected the USB cable into my PC, them inserted the instalation CD that came with it with some added software. The drive itself is plug and play, meaning on Windows XP, it will be recognised automatically.
The default file system needs to be changed to FAT32 but this is an easy adjustment with a click of the mouse.

Use

The noise output is minimal, and so is the heat output. There is no fan so there isonly noise from the motor inside. The noise from the fans on my PC drowns that out, so i dont even notice.
The speed...
