Verbatim SmartDisk Portable Hard Drive 500 GB

Iomega Hardrive 500GB Review

Advantages: High capacity, Durable, Stylish
Disadvantages: None

Amazing storage I put films on it everyday, I've had it a year now and it still hasn't filled up, It's not even reached half way and I use a lot of capacity being a music artist. As well as that it transfers files fast and I've dropped it a few times and still works, it's very durable and is meant to be portable and withstand shocks. It's very quite and looks stylish. Great value for money, I recommend it for any use: -Backing up Files -External source of storage -Transferring files to put on other PCs -Business people and students, Protects your work and data (with encryption if desired When used with Mac it has a time machine built in so if you delete a file months ago you can access it by using its time machine function going back to the date you deleted the file. ...

Review of Iomega eGo Portable Hard drive 500 GB

Freecom Hard Drive 500gb

Advantages: Hugh storage space

The drive itself is plug and play, meaning on Windows XP, it will be recognised automatically. The default file system needs to be changed to FAT32 but this is an easy adjustment with a click of the mouse. ------ Use ------ The noise output is minimal, and so is the heat output. There is no fan so there isonly noise from the motor inside. The noise from the fans on my PC drowns that out, so i dont even notice ...

Review of Freecom Hard Drive Hard drive 500 GB

A hard to damage hard drive!

Advantages: Tough, fast and inexpensive!
Disadvantages: None to date.

External hard drives seem to be getting ever more popular, it seems no matter how big the PC or laptop`s own drive is it`s never enough. This particular external hard drive is designed to be portable so as well as having the extra space you might need you also have the option of being able to take this drive along to friends or family`s houses or even to work and instantly have access to all the files you need or even just want.

Some external hard drives look and are very bulky and cumbersome, this one being designed to be portable is a lot less so. It is fairly light weight but very robust and also has the distinct advantage of looking good which a lot ...
