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: 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
