Advantages: small, lots of storage and really reliable Disadvantages: less portable than a small form hard disk drive, needs main to use
...This is my second hard drive. The first one I bought was a sony vaio that I bought off of ebay - a portable 120GB hard disk drive from the far east. It started giving me disk read and write errors about three to four months after I bought it. Moral of the story, buy from a reputable manufacturer and seller.
So I bought this from Amazon co uk, who are by far a superior online seller. Prices have come down and i managed to get this for £60 including free delivery. The drive is compact, not portable.
It needs to be plugged into mains as well as the computer which makes it less portable, but it is so quiet I can't even hear that is switched on even when it is writing or reading. I would highly recommend this product or even one of the bigger sized ones, though I couldn't afford the 1TB mybook.
Remember 500GB is marketing...

...I purchased this drive last September from Dabs for £72.47 including P&P and it was delivered very quickly (I have always had good service from Dabs). The drive seems well designed, the metal silver casing seems strong and durable and looks OK too. As already mentioned in other reviews the only possible downside I can see is the bulky plug but the drive is not intended to be used as a mobile storage device so the plug doesn't present a problem when the drive is placed on your desk. The drive size LED on the front is a little pointless, why do you need reminding the drive is 500gb in size - surely it would have been better to just use a normal LED light to show activity or actually show how much space was remaining on the drive.
I installed the drive in seconds, you just need to plug the power cable and the USB cable in and away you go...

...I have previously purchased a Freecom 500GB external drivedrive and have been very happy with it's performance and reliability. So when the drive started to become 80% full it was time to look for some additional storage. I saw the new Freecom 1TBdrive on Amazon and given my previous good experiences purchased one straight away. It arrived this morning (Tuesday) having ordered in the previous Friday, and all of this post free.
For anyone that hasn't bought a Freecom external hard drive before, you get a very stylish drive unit, power adapter, leads and installation disk. Installing (in my case) took less than 5 minutes, most of the time was spent unpacking the pieces.
Simply attached the usb lead, power pack and switched on. Instantly recognised by the Windows XP operating system as the next drive letter.
The unit is virtually...

Some people call me ignorant for using Maxtor, but I honestly only order Maxtor for my hard drives. Now the only downside to the Maxtor 500 GB is that it is an external drive that, if not careful, can overheat and cause connectivity problems, transfer... more
