The Seagate Pocket Hard Drive is a standard high-speed USB 2.0, bus-powered device. It provides a true "plug and play" connection that supports hot plugging so you can connect or disconnect the drive even when your computer is on. The drive receives power directly through the USB connector so there is no need for an external power source or batteries.
Advantages: Quiet, Quick, Reliable, USB 2.0, Stand Upright/On Side Disadvantages: NONE!
...Seagate have always been a favourite of mine for computer components especially harddrives and their harddrives never cease to amaze me, especially the external 300gb.
It starts at the click of the blue button on front, and its not too bright so you could leave it on all night in a dark room to no distraction.
The stand comes with it for upright standing or sideways (you can stack these little puppies!)
It has firewire, USB2.0 and both are extremely fast, i use USB2.0 Currently and it takes me almost no time to copy a 600mb file from one harddrive to this one.
It is one of the quietest harddrives i have, (i have a few external) and it is perfect really.
For myself, it has never broken down, stopped working, cut out, lost any data to the contrary. it runs constantly for some days maybe even upto a week and it's great...

...Seagate have always made great harddrives and this is no excepetion it reads and writes fast.
This drive is one in a new range of seagatedrives that use perpendicular recording technology, meaning more space per platter.
There is only one bad point to this drive and that is the noise you can here it read this may not be a problem for some but compared to the samsung harddrive I also have in my pc, the seagate makes the most noise (you cant hear the samsung).
Good points for this drive include the price its pritty cheap for the price and amount of storage you get, being a seagate you get a nice long 5 year guarantee.
Technical specs
- Capacity: 250 GB
- Speed: 7200 rpm
- Interface: SATA-II
- Cache: 16MB
- 5 year manufacturer''s warranty
To conclude this is an excellent harddrive as expected from such a great manufacture...

I've bought two of these drives now and am very impressed. On opening the box you'll find the following: The drive itself, power supply, USB cable and an instruction leaflet.
The drive feels solid and well built, although the aluminium case does... more
This hard drive is very similar in look and feel to the other Passport versions that Western Digital has, in particular the Book with a glowing yellow circle that is very nice to look at and quite heavy to boot.
I needed an external harddrive as my... more
