Hard Drives > Less than 150 GB Hard Drives

Advantages: Lots of space for all your gaming needs.
Disadvantages: Price, Dust, Missing GB

My personal experience with the Xbox 360 hard drive has been fairly positive. The ability to store music, films, videos and of course games saves is one that no Xbox gamer should be without. 120 GB of memory is more than enough for the average gamer. The hard drive is well designed to blend with the console perfectly. It is small and easy to store. However the price is pretty heavy compared to the cheaper 20GB versions. A problem with the memory ...
...have 120GB, obviously it wouldn't be exactly due to the need for the running files but several GB are actually missing. Regular cleaning is advised as dust tends to collect on the hard drive but a sharp blow into the docking port is sufficient to clear this. All in all this product is an incredibly useful addition to any Xbox 360 gamers arsenal. hope this review has been helpful. ... Read review

Advantages: Hard drive space is very cheap nowadays, and worth it for older PCs. Great manual
Disadvantages: Installation is difficult compared to other PC components

...came away with an 80Gb Western Digital Drive, even though I had never previously heard of the company. Since buying the drive, I have since read about them in computing magazines, and drives by this manufacturer are frequently amongst the top 5 in any group test. This has backed up my view that I have made a sensible and decent purchase for once. ### OPENING THE BOX ### If you have never opened your PC case before, then installing a hard drive ...
...reinstalled them on the new Western Digital D drive, and all of them have seen increases in speed. It is also a lot quieter than my old hard drive. Obviously I boot up using the C drive, so you can hear it whirring and clunking away as the computer starts up, but then I use the programs on the D drive, and the difference in noise level is significantly lower. I occasionally catch myself looking to see if the red light at the front is on, as I can't ... Read review

Advantages: Reliable, Quick, Quite, Good value for money

...been using 2 of these Hitachi Deskstar's in my PC for a long time now. I have had no problems with them. For the price you pay to buy one, you are getting cheap and reliable hard disk, witch has a good capacity to price ratio (around 2GB per pound).

...help, or you can just take it down to PC world, or some other computer shop and they should be able to fit it for you. Over all this is a good value for money hard disk, and in my opinion, You cant go wrong with a Hitachi Deskstar ... Read review

Advantages: Elegant looks, possibly more durable than flash drives
Disadvantages: Somewhat expensive, slower than may modern flash drives

This is an alternative to carrying a flash drive around with you as it uses a small Seagate 1 inch hard drive with a 3600rpm 2MB specification. Compared to a flash drive, especially the latest ones available, it should last longer so long as you don't throw it around and damage the mechanics inside. Flash drives die after X thousand read/write operations. It being a small hard drive, it isn't as fast copying/reading files. 8GB nowadays can be easily ...
...For some this may appear more elegant than a pen drive (you decide!). Installation is dead easy, just pop it in if you're using Windows XP or newer and it will detect a new USB device. Build quality is high up and so seems to be durability too. ... Read review

Advantages: Fast with large files, quiet fast with small files, quiet, doesn't struggle with large files.
Disadvantages: May need defragging alot.

I have this drive pre installed in my computer and the first thing i realised was that it was extremely FAST; i had tested the drive on a hard drive benchmarking program called 'HDTach'. This is as on my HP'm7635', using this drive i got a burst speed of 210 MB/s and a average read rate of 70MB/s; both are extremely fast. I also realised that this drive was extremely quiet; being installed in my media cennter PC it wasn't exactly a suprise though. ...
...the context of everyday computng this hard drive is very fast, windows loads up very quickly. You can force large files down the hard drive and it wont struggle; though i still recommend that you defragmentate the drive on a regular basis for optimal speed. To expand on my statement of what fast is, i mean to say that the drive is able to handle copying of large files such as movies very quickly. The drive is also fast in seeking files from a random ...
