Advantages: Fast, reliable & high size.
Disadvantages: Over heated alot when put threw its paces.

...this drive as I trust western digital as all my drives but 1 or 2 are all there brand and with no issues. However, apart from the high capacity, the speed it offers & technical support with some utility tools on WD website, I must rate this as adequate. The reasons are. Due to the high storage size, the head it generates is much higher than most hard drives. I was currently decoding & re encoding audio to video on the drive where it suddenly froze.. ...
...minutes it would not show in boot up & really slowed down the boot up process because if it. The reason I found out was, it really overheated. Now, hard drives do overheat if you don’t keep them clean & maintained, such as disk keepers & so forth to keep the drive running in its prime. But its new, so this was not the cause. It was just generating a lot of heat when put threw its paces as encoding does. So, I had to purchase a cooler for it & so ... Read review

Advantages: 6 times the space of the 20 GB version
Disadvantages: Price is a little steep

Well, I just completed a week using the 120GB Xbox 360 hard drive, and I have to admit it was worth it! The capacity,looks etc. all made it worth it, especially since for me it was free (got it from a friend). I would recommend this to anyone who has a HDTV and wants to download his/her favorite movies. With more and more movies coming out in HD (High definition) it is going to take more and more space (especially for longer movies such as The ... Read review

...the other end to the Maxtor box, follow on screen instructions for about five minutes installation time, then press the button on the front of the Maxtor to back up your files. The back up of all my music, photos, documents etc took about 4 minutes. Usually this takes me forever when I run my Norton back up. After this initial back up you can either remove the appliance or leave it plugged in (It powers itself from the computer) and back up according ... Read review

Advantages: inexpensive, easy to use and very portable
Disadvantages: less storage space available than advertised in the specs

I bought one of these drives yesterday at Tesco - £39.97 - what a bargain, in the big electrical stores its well over 50 quid... However, when I plugged it in and tried it out I discovered that it reads as a 149GB drive. Thinking that meant it was faulty, I returned it to the store and made an exchange (that was painless, so kudos to Tesco!). The thing is, the new one reads as the exact same 149GB! So whats that all about? I'd be interested in the ...
...a duff batch or are there technicals reasons for it reporting less than 160Gb when connected... With regard to the rest of the other guy's review, I agree completely - it is dead easy to use, small and lightwieght. Quite cute actually - if electronics can be cute! Hell, at that price 149GB increases my storage so much that the missing 11GB isn't such a big issue for me... but it does make me wonder about the reality of advertised specs vs. real ... Read review
