Technology is an ever growing and ever changing thing in todays supposedly modern and sophisticated world, which makes it ever so hard to decide what to spend your money on and whether the item purchased will be obsolete/cheaper the next month.

As you may have cleverly deduced this particular external hard drive was one of those aforementioned products stated above. Around January 2008 i bought this little beauty for the reasonable sum of £90, although the price has roughly held its own, more products are being released such as 500gb external hard drives for £75 (ye gods). The price reductions can certianily not be a bad thing; it is more than a little discerning to feel as though you have been ripped off.

The Product - The Seagate pushbutton backup external hard drive 400 GB is a very sturdy and functional machine which gives more than good value for money (depending on the time you buy). Push button backup technology is fantastic although a little time consuming, the general idea is that a complete copy of your computer will be saved onto you external hard drive, if and when your computer messes things up (as will eventually be the case)then never fear the pc backup on your external hard drive is here

When transfering movies, music. etc the external hard drive is vey fat in my opinion. It will transfer a movie in around 2 minutes, an album in around 20 seconds and a single song in a flash. Speed and size is everything, the seagate hard drive has been designed to give the consumer what they want at a cheap affordable price (much to the buyers delight)

setting up the external hard drive on you computer is just too easy, plug the mains in, connect the usb into your computer then press the power/backup button on the front of your hard drive and the job is well and trully a good un'. of course your computer will automatically detect your device, do its magic and then to view/add/remove files on your external hard drive go to my computer and your external hard drive will be located next to your hard disk drives.

The external hard drive was designed to stand up (a stand is provided) and lay horizontally, the bonus of the horizontal position is that these devices can stack up on top of each other so in effect you could have many terabytes (1000 GB) of data connected externally to your computer.

There is a fan inside you external hard drive so heat should not be a problem unless your room is quite warm from your heating. The heat has the potential to damage the device just as it would a computer when the motherboard burns out due to heat thus the reason your computers fans work hard to keep it cool.

Anything that your computer can hold the external hard drive can also hold, 400GB used to be a lot and to a certain extent it still is, but now there are quite a substantial amount of factory made pc's supplied with 500GB upwards. Never forget before purchasing; check the market and dont throw your money away.
