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 is the fact that the hard drive does not actually 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... Read review

Advantages: Great invention, reasonable price, large capacity
Disadvantages: Bulky, noisy

...is approx. 3.5 inches in height, 10 inches across and 3.5 inches deep. When it is running it is also has quite a loud buzzing noise, which can be quite tedious. The hard drive has 120GB and can store approx. 2,000 hours of digital music, 38,400 digital photos, 120 hours of digital video or 60 PC games. You are able to store digtal photos, videos, music, DVD's, Business Documents and Emails on the hard drive. The hard drive has a 7200-RPM spin speed and a 2-MB cache buffer, BounceBack Express software for fast and easy back up, built-in self-monitoring technology and is also compatible with Windows and Macintosh platforms. I have found this hard drive really useful, no longer does my laptop get filled up, it also runs faster. I am able to store all large documents/music/games on the external hard drive which prevents the slow... Read review

Advantages: size , speed wow
Disadvantages: very little, perhaps only poor speed with usb 1.0

...First of all for anyone who doesnt want to read all of this review... to sum up this product is really quite awesome. The reason behind buying this product was very simple, the pcs we currently have in the house are getting quite old now 3 years, and a bit dodgy to say the least.. the final straw came when my brothers pc was barely turning on, the pc contained all his a level, and first year university work, which was needed to be saved.. So off we popped to special reserve and bought this little hard drive for 115 pounds, the box is cetainly very inviting, read the instruction booklet provided seemed very simple ad easy to set up, for xp users ( sorry i cannot comment on other operating systems). The drive itself looks very classy and stylish silver with a blue stand ( much like the ps2 style stand), with the "one touch" button... Read review

Advantages: SLIM, LOADS OF MEMORY, RELIABLE
Disadvantages: NEED A SPARE USB PORT ON YOUR COMPUTER

...Hard Drive was the perfect drive for me to save my files. Yes saved and backed up safley. The great thing is you just have to plug in the hard drive into your pc via the usb port and you are ready to go. No software or drivers to install. I have never gone back to using DVDs or CDs to backup anything. Another thing I used to have loads of CDS DVDS scattered around the room. I have now thrown them away... WOW 120GB ona small hard drive that you can put anywhere.

Advantages: Huge amounts of storage, durable, can take game saves everywhere.
Disadvantages: Price.

...The Xbox 360 120GB removable hard drive is a great item to buy for any Xbox 360 gamer. The larger hard drive has become even more useful with the coming of the ability to buy or rent movies via the Xbox Live Marketplace. Considering each movie is around 1GB in size (and even larger if downloaded in HD) conventional size Hard Drives will rapidly be eaten up. The removable hard drive is also extremely easy to use, it slides clips on the size of the Xbox 360 console, and absolutely no further setup is required. It is equally as easy to remove, you simply have to push in the button and lift it out of position. Its relatively small size then comes in handy, as you can carry it to your friends house and fit it on their console. All of your game saves and your gamercard can now be accessed on their console and provided they have access... Read review

Advantages: Size, looks, no sound
Disadvantages: Could have a carrying pouch

...is that there is no pouch for it so unless you can buy one it could possibly get scratched. Design; The look is attractive but fairly basic, being enclosed in an aluminium case and having a black front and back. One nice touch is that there is a blue LED on the 120GB sign which lights up when it is connected. Connections; The hard drive connects to the PC/ laptop via USB 2.0 which connects to the back of the hard drive to your computer. The device is powered by your computer through the USB cable but there is the option to buy an AC adapter which also connects to the back of the device. I would suggest though that this is not needed as it works perfectly well without it, still being extremely quiet. Techinical detail; The hard drive has a data transfer rate of 480 MBit/s, which is not the fastest i have seen but it seems to still be quick... Read review

Advantages: Extremely durable, vast capacity, simple to use, reasonable price
Disadvantages: Not always plug & pay ; needs software installation on a few PC's

...One thing about joining Ciao it encourages you to look objectively at the products you own or use regularly particularly if someone else may benefit. A product I like very much, use regularly and have had no problems with whatsoever is the Freecom ToughDrive Pro Hard drive 120 GB. This was given to me as a present by the man in my life (who in truth could be described as an IT geek) I have had several memory sticks in the past as I frequently carry projects to and from home, work, meetings and conferences and they have become a real part of my life and one that I couldn’t manage without ( sad but true) I’ve had problems in the past from loosing memory sticks ( not too bad if I can find them again !) because they are small or because the fiddly little clips break away (I used to keep them clipped to my car keys for safety (ha...

Advantages: compact and easy to move
Disadvantages: competition is better

...it in, so within 20 minutes i was backing up my files. Performance Performance is good for a portable hard disk, and there was no real difference in speed between the two interfaces. That said, it is only 120GB, which is a bit much when you can get a near-identical Western Digital Passport 120GB for £65. Features It doesn't ship with backup software, just file-synchronisation software, but this serves a similar purpose. A two-plug USB splitter cable and a six-pin FireWire cable are included so you shouldn't need to use an external power adaptor. The bundled Retrospect Express utility can back up your files according to a schedule and can store previous versions of files. Conclusion Based upon the competition i would not choose this drive, but it is a good performer and should be suitable for those who require a limited... Read review

Advantages: So easy to set up
Disadvantages: Firewire not the most popular port

...I chose an external hard drive over an internal drive as when I chose it my pc at the time had the maximum number of hard drives, which would fit in my pc. However I still needed space and felt it was a waste to take out a smaller drive to replace for a larger one so as a last resort I looked at the external option. It was then I saw LaCie and the d2 range and I knew I had to have it. I looked at higher capacity LaCie drives, but at the time I purchased it, the 120 Gb was the highest one, which also seemed to have a reasonable and worthwhile price. Now after owning for over two years I still find it ample space!! I found the drive simple to connect, I only had to load on the software (drivers), plug it in and follow the simple instructions and it is completely formatted to your chosen specifications. Also once it has been... Read review
