Advantages: Quick, Cheap, Easy, Portable and Reliable Disadvantages: Larger than more modern alternatives, slightly noisy, brightly lit.
I bought this drive almost a year ago now, It does exactly what it says, looks reasonable and functions well - fast enough to run applications/games/movies and music from it is a perfect addition to any setup lacking memory. The only downfalls to the drive are the bright LED light (which can be remedied with a bit of blue tack to stop it lighting up the room at night, and a slight whirring noise, which one must expect.. Overall a top product, would ...

Advantages: Huge memory Disadvantages: Some of Toshiba's external hard drives have a separate power cable
I recently bought a Toshiba 320gb extrenal hard drive off ebay to store my mp3's, movies, documents etc. The capacity of the drive is awesome. 320gb is almost too big. It was easy to install and I had it going within minutes.
The downfall of the hard drive I purchased, is that it is big, it is an eye sore, and it does not connect to your PC/laptop via usb. It has a separate power cable.
My advice would be to buy a smaller capcity hard drive which ...

Quick review of Toshiba Hard drive 320 GB Review ofToshiba Hard drive 320 GBby

It is VERY slow. I have it connected wit Lenovo 3000N100 laptop /MS Vista and the transfer speed is < 1MB / sec.
I have it connected to some other computers and the speed remained the same. .E. the speed limitation is built in the HD.
System backup takes too many hours to complete.
Burning CD or DVD from this HD is virtually impossible (I always had error messages and always created coasters).

Advantages: Fast, slimline, easy-to-use Disadvantages: Very bright LED!
This external drive is perfect in its simple, slimline elegance. It is unobtrusive and with or without its optional stand, will sit solidly wherever you need to position it. It has a very large memory, and runs at a fast speed. Its capacity is perfect for large music, photo and video collections and allows much space for the editing and reformatting of these. Having this size of available harddisk also makes it easy to back-up important files. It ... ...slight fault being the extremely bright LED which will light up the room at night!
Having survived for many years with only 40GB of memory on my PC, the addition of this new external drive has completely transformed my computer use. It allows me to add music, photos, software and many other enhanced applications without fear of using up precious space. ...

What with all the videos and photos I had on my mac, I needed some good back up storage. I was recommended to go for the something in the Lacie range. For me the d2 Quadra 320gb was an excellent choice. It won't lose data the way some of the ones with more
