I bought this one week at Tesco for under £40 so thought 160Gb forvthat price couldn't be bad. we just wanted to back up our photos and music and free a bit of space on our computer.
I am not a computer wizz and things have to be reasonably simple. This is SO SIMPLE. Very basic small box-like drive which is also very light so easy to transport around if you want to. it comes with one lead with two USB ports at one end to go into the computer and the other has the point that connects to the hard drive.
You connect all the points to the correct places and then it boots itself in and installs without any further ado. No expertise required at all. Any idiot could do it.
After that just copy files over or open documents and save to the hard drive which comes up like any other memory stick when you click where you want to "save as". It really couldn't be simpler.
Features, It states that it is : Robust shock-proof design USB powered High speed 5400 RPM Easy to use- simply plug in USB cable 3 year limited warranty
The pack includes: External portable hard drive Quick start guide USB V -cable
It comes in a plastic - almost impossible to get into without cutting it - sealed pack and that's about it. It took some clever work with scissors and a knife at some risk of damaging myself in order to get it out of the packing.
It does what it says on the pack VERY SIMPLE basic external hard drive that is small and light and extremely easy to use. A bit like a bigger memory stick really.
Obviously I've only had it 3 months now so haven't tested the warranty but so far so good.
Great review I just might need something a bit bigger to carry my ever increasing collection of games and music though.

Sounds pretty good, actually I've been looking for a back-up HDD myself and since Maxtor always worked with me, this might be the choice....even if I dont feel like giving away that money jsut now, have to check how much would it be here. Thanks! Radka
