Advantages: very fast, great amount of space and cheap!
Disadvantages: none

This hard drive is VERY GOOD LOOKING, shiny black with yellow trim lines, a stable support platform and small to boot. I needed another external harddrive as my desktops space was almost gone from storing far too many games as you can imagine! I had the dreaded 'low on disk space' warning on my computer for a good while before i found a hard drive that i liked that offered my requirements in a stylish little black box. I already have two Western ...
...product from a good rival, Seagate. It has exceeded my expectations and will go onto my list of good manufacturers. Design Its presented in a big box, and I was very relieved (and also surprised) to see how small it actually is! It fails to take up much space on your desk or on top of your pc tower. Its a miniscule weight too which means i can hold it in one palm quite easily. The black enclosure case is highly attractive, especially with those ... Read review

Disadvantages: May need defragging alot.

I have this drive pre installed in my computer and the first thing i realised was that it was extremely FAST; i had tested the drive on a hard drive benchmarking program called 'HDTach'. This is as on my HP'm7635', using this drive i got a burst speed of 210 MB/s and a average read rate of 70MB/s; both are extremely fast. I also realised that this drive was extremely quiet; being installed in my media cennter PC it wasn't exactly a suprise though. ...
...the context of everyday computng this hard drive is very fast, windows loads up very quickly. You can force large files down the hard drive and it wont struggle; though i still recommend that you defragmentate the drive on a regular basis for optimal speed. To expand on my statement of what fast is, i mean to say that the drive is able to handle copying of large files such as movies very quickly. The drive is also fast in seeking files from a random ...

Disadvantages: my system wants to boot from it

Device is solid and reliable, case well protects the hard drive (dropped it once and nothing happens, just a scuff mark).

...perfect for storing large amount of videos and music, because it ts external it is very easy to share your files with friends. One small thing that I didn't like is that I have to turn it off after starting a computer, otherwise computer will try to boot the system from it. I think it is something with my comp, as I tried it with my friends one and it's ok. I would recommend it, because of the amount of space, reliability and quick installation ... Read review
