of software for backing up and protecting your files. Includes antivirus protection: McAfee VirusScan Plus (6-month trial version for up to 3 computers) and backing up services: Iomega QuikProtect, EMC Retrospect Express Backup software and MozyHome Online Backup (2GB free). Unfortunately, only EMC software can be used for Windows and Mac, the rest is only compatible with Windows. Drop Guard This is for those of us with clumsy hands. This feature protects the hard drive from damage caused by dropping the device from up to 1.3m/51in (which Iomega claims is 40% above the industry average). The Black belt version has an additional protection, Power Grip band, and can be dropped from 2.1m/7ft. I have to say this feature was one of the reasons why I chose eGo hard drive.

Review of Iomega eGo Portable Hard drive 320 GB

Toshiba 1TB Desktop Hard Drive (USB)

Advantages: Value for money, massive storage, great design, decent speeds!
Disadvantages: Bright flasing blue/red/purple light on the front.

My laptop is fairly old but has served me very well (it's a Toshiba incidentaly) , it has about 27GB of storage space which nowdays isn't enough for all my work as well as movies and music. I decided to look at some external hard drives so I could store everything that I wanted and more.

I then decided to ...

Review of Toshiba Hard drive 1 TB

A hard to damage hard drive!

Advantages: Tough, fast and inexpensive!
Disadvantages: None to date.

External hard drives seem to be getting ever more popular, it seems no matter how big the PC or laptop`s own drive is it`s never enough. This particular external hard drive is designed to be portable so as well as having the extra space you might need you also have the option of being able to take this drive along to friends or family`s houses or even to work and instantly have access to all the files you need or even just want. The Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive in question has a 250Gb capacity which when used along with your original hard drive or probably even on its own is more than enough for most. Some external hard drives look and are very bulky and cumbersome, this one being designed to be portable is a lot less so. It is fairly light weight but very robust and also has the distinct advantage of looking good which a lot ...
