Advantages: Does what it says on the tin. Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!
During my final year of uni, this little gem turned out to be a Godsend. Doing a course which required a lot of camera work, I needed somewhere to store all the raw footage, which anyone who's ever worked with footage from a high quality video camera knows, takes up a hell of a lot of space.
So I needed somewhere to keep it locked away safely to take around from uni computer to uni computer. My weapon of choice for an external hard drive was the Lacie Desktop Hard Disk 320 GB.
Having brought it online for just under £50, that instantly stuck me as a bargain. Purchased approximately 18 months ago, that was a steal. Naturally, with the passing of time and the increasing availability of external hard drives, the price of this items has began to fall, as is the case with all types of technology.
Once plugged in and inserted into a USB ...
Advantages: reliable, silent, practical, it's getting cheaper, very good remote, 2yrs guarantee Disadvantages: doesn't support MP4 or MKV
LaCieLaCinema Premier my review
I already owned a 500GB version of this LaCieLaCinema but when I was in Asda and saw the 750GB for more or less the same price I paid for the other one (£129 I think) I couldn't resist the tempation. I gifted it to my in-law and she's super happy! So what's this LaCieLaCinema Premier? It's a multimedia hard disk that you can plug to the TV and it allows you to watch your media files (video, music, pictures) on your TV, it plays the most commonly used codecs such as DivX, MPEG, JPG, MP3 etc (see them listed later on). I will never praise this product enough, it's simple to use, it's durable and has a very good remote control. What does it change from the 500GB version that I already reviewed? Nothing really, only the size, it allows you to store many more media files, that's all.
For who hasn ...
Advantages: Good design, practical Disadvantages: Expensive
The LaCie iamaKey USB Flash Drive comes in 4GB and 8GB capacities, and is, obviously, shaped like a key.
I recently bought the 8GB version from Amazon.co.uk (£29.99, the 4GB version is £22.30) because I regularly need to move large files around (recordings from my band, photos, etc.) and I NEVER remember to take any removable memory with me, so because this fits on a keyring just like a normal key, voila, I always have it with me.
Some tech specs:
USB 2.0
Read mode: up to 30MB/s
Write mode: up to 10MB/s
Hot-pluggable (i.e. no need to eject like older USB devices)
Windows Readyboost compatible (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost)
My opinion:
It's certainly not cheap, most 8GB USB drives are in the region of £10 on Amazon but if you want a good performing, fast, good-looking (as far as keys and USB drives look good ...
