Origin Storage Hard drive 60 GB

Advantages: Small, Light, No external power required
Disadvantages: None I can think of!

...Very slim device, with sleek black plastic case and rounded edges. Has rubber feet to prevent slipping when placed on desk. Compatible with all Operating Systems (including Linux) due to FAT formatting. As with all drives, can be repartitioned or reformatted as preferred. Has Windows XP software on board to simplify backups. Very short USB cable (about 10cm), so an extension may be necessary. No power supply (gets power from USB port), so truly portable. Fast USB2 connection. Reliable WD Hard Drive - I've had it for over a year with no problems. This is now a low storage capacity Hard Drive at 60GB, but I would thoroughly recommend it (or a larger capacity Passport) for anyone who needs genuine portability with their hard drive....

Advantages: fast and portable
Disadvantages: drains power

...looks the part however does feel a little flimsy. It has been built with shock absorbency built into it so you wont have to worry about it shaking about in your brief case or even the odd drop onto a hard ground. However I feel if you were to throw this at a wall or something then it probably wouldn’t survive, that being said though how much times would this much pressure be put on the hard drive, so it should be ok. The reason why this drives good however is not only because its small and portable, and not only that it has a huge 120 gb capacity but also because it has turbo mode built into it. The way to activate this is simply to plug in the second usb cable to get speeds up to 60 percent faster than in normal mode and 60 percent faster than most other usb storage devices. This again uses up more power from your laptop or computer... Read review

Advantages: Ease of Transfer, Portabilility, Connectivity, Low Cost, Huge Storage
Disadvantages: Slow transfer Speed

...A great product, for external storage of data, media and files. Ideal uses are for storage of media libraries such as mp3, Video all your avi. files and mpegs. Easy copy and paste to from the drive make it simple to use. Also it is an ideal platform for backing up of ghost images, archiving of important files. I would recommend this to everyone as its a stable product from one of the market leaders in the field. Its huge 320 GB of storage is generally larger than most desktops and laptops come with and is an ideal investment for adding storage at a low cost and less hassle. Easy connectivity and transporatability allow you to move large amounts of data, between machines with ease and security.... Read review
