Advantages: Fast transfer speed, protection from knocks and drops Disadvantages: Fairly high price
a hard-disk you have to consider the spindle speed of the hard-drive, the LaCie250GB external hard-drive has a spindle speed of 5400 rpm (revolutions per minute). Most, consumer level hard-drives have spindle speeds of between 3600 rpm and 7200 rpm. The 5400 rpm spindle speed is the most common. Spindle speed basically involves components within the hard-drive, which affect the performance and transfer rate of the hard-drive. This basically means that the higher the spindle speed the better the performance of the hard-drive, the quicker the transfer rate and the higher the price.
The most important aspect of the LaCie external hard-drive is its protective outer casing, which will protect it from potentially dangerous knocks and drops. Most external hard-drives come with minimal protection and if dropped may cause you to lose all existing ...
Advantages: Price, Capacity, Reliability Disadvantages: Size, Requires own power supply
I have owned this external harddrive for over a year and have found it to be an extremely reliable product. It has a 500GB capacity, which is more than enough for most people, and I also picked it up for a relatively low price, compared to other drives of a similar capacity on the market.
It is a fairly large drive, and requires its own power supply, so it is definitely not a portable device. However, as a secondary drive to your desktop pc, it is more than capable, as it has reasonably fast transfer speeds. It is also pretty durable, as mine has fallen off of its desk more than once while running, and still works as good as new.
It is extremely quick and easy to set up, taking a matter of seconds once the wires are all in place.
I would definitelty reccommend this to a friend who required a cheap, reliable storage drive, but did ...
Advantages: Capacity, looks, decent manual, cheap Disadvantages: A bit slow, a lot to lose in one go
With people starting to amass more and more data on their PCs, the old methods of backup such as tape or CD & DVD are becoming woefully inadequate. As a result, by far the most cost efficient method for either storing data or backing it up is the external harddrive.
That said, 1TB or 1 Terrabyte is a crazy amount of space and the sort of storage that would have kept a multinational company ticking over nicely ten years ago.
The LaCie (pronounced Lassie, like the dog) 1TB unit is a reasonably basic device that only has a USB2 (although USB1 is supported) interface and comes with a suitable lead, external power supply and software CD. It can work with both PCs and Macs although by default it's formatted for PC use so Mac users will need to reformat it first but that's no hardship really.
On first opening the box, it looks really ...
