Philips SPE2015CC 250 GB

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: None

...Ritek have been making CDR media for several years. In the old days their products had many reliability issues. Nowerdays their products are very reliable, rated to 12x recording, and very cheap. You can buy their products in many disguises. They can be branded as Traxdata, Samsung, Nugen, Discplanet, Mirror, Diamond and probably many more. Are TDK, Sony, Verbatim and Philips discs better? Hell yes, but if they're are both capable of doing the same job in the short-term, (and most of us only use the discs we burn for the short-term) do you you need to spend twice the money to buy a big brand name?...

...This Philips SPD5100CC external hard drive does exactly as it says on the tin. I own this product and i have been using it for two years without a glitch.

Its like having a book sitting permanently on your desk. ** IT COMES... Read review

Advantages: Extreamly large (though in most cases unnessecery) disk space, fast!
Disadvantages: Practicality

...Okay wow 250 Gigabytes of hard disk space sounds extreamly useful and probably makes you want to buy it with out considering other factors (for me anyway..) but when you look at it you have to ask your self "How am I going to make use of all this space?" and even if you some how manage to answer that question you will have to apriechate how long it will take you to format, defrag and check for errors (despite the very fast file transfer speeds). Now there are a lot of posible disadvantages to buying such a capacity of HD storage space for the average computer user, But if your part of a buisness (home or otherwise) then this would be an ideal solution to ensure you won't ever run out of space to store important documents, programs and other nessecery examples. So my final advice would be to only purchace this if you are in REAL need... Read review
