Advantages: Quick transfer speed, Disadvantages: Fairly Bulky
...What can i say this is an internal had-drive which obviously integrates within a computer system. Nowadays 80GB is not enough for anyone as programs are now increasing in size due to their complexity and what they have to offer.
A harddrive is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. Non-volatile storage is simply the name given to a storage device which can retain stored data even when not powered. With a volatile storage device being one that can not retain saved data e.g. RAM (Random Access Memory).
I used to have an 80GBharddrive in the past on my "OLD" PC, which was about 5 years ago. Now i have a 300 GBharddrive which i have to admit is filling up really quickly. Due to the number of files stored e.g music, photo, video etc.
This particular...

Advantages: Portable, easy to use, never failed on me yet! Disadvantages: Perhaps only the disc size, but it has taken me 2 years to fill it!
...Wester Digital, a respected brand name, and i agree!
I have owned the unit now for around 2 years, and have 0 problems. My internal harddrive has died on me twice but my external one, never!
This 80gb HDD is perfect for storing large files, home movies, photo albums, music etc. It's ideal when transfering data from one place to another, simply unplug it, plug it in elsehwre and hey presto!
It supports drag & drop so moving files couldn't be easier.
Standard power adpater with 3-pin plug, and USB 2.0 connection to your pc, mac, server etc.
It is easily recognised by each operating system and i have yet to find one that doesn't support the unit. Plug it in, wait around 30secs and it's up and running.
Can be stored horizontally, and if you have 3 like me, you can stack them perfectly, or store them vertically...

Advantages: Fast and Silent, Easy SATA installation, Two flavours to choose from Disadvantages: Dismal performance
...Maxtor are one of the 3 leading harddrive manufacturers in the personal and business computing market at the moment along with Western Digital and Hitachi. They are also the cheapest. Unfortunately, the saying that price doesn't equals quality is true here. Too true.
The 160GB version of the DiamondMax Plus9 can be purchased online from around £51.00 onwards. And with the way harddrive prices have fallen recently, that's not bad at all. But as I said, you're getting cheap quality to match the cheap price.
The drive itself looks very similar to any other harddrive, and comes in both IDE ATA/133 and SATA 150 flavours, with the SATA ones easier to configure due to their jumperless installations.
My personal experience with this drive has been short. I first purchased this drive to use in my first ever custom-built computer...

However you use your PC, make sure you take back ups!
A few days after we moved into our house, we were burgled and all our electrical goods were taken. Amongst these items was my laptop on which I had a database of animal pedigrees which had been... more
I had absolutely no need for one of these really but thought I would snap it up when a friend offered it to me for £40. As I travel between my mums and my own home a lot it was useful to be able to just unplug this and take everything I need with me and... more
