Extra memory for me - Samsung 160Gb External hard drive USB

Advantages: Small smart looking and light, easy to use
Disadvantages: none that I have found

.... You can get desktop hard-drive which are bigger and need an external power supply but usually have more storage capacity. But my Samsung is a portable hard-drive with a storage capacity of 160GB MY PORTABLE HARD DRIVE: This little Samsung hard drive is really compact, with a neat aluminium body and does not require external power supply. I bought my Samsung hard-drive online from Ebay not in an auction but a Buy it Now seller. It has 160 GB storage capacity and costs me under £40. It weighs around 150 gram and easily fits in my bag or a jacket pocket. It is just a sealed aluminium box with a mini USB port at one end ? nothing else at all. The actual item is 11.5cm x 1.0cm x 7.0cm (only 0.5" inch thick) which is amazing I think. All I did when it arrived was take it out of the box, plug the mini USB into the item then plug the 2...

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver

Advantages: Easy To Use, Lots Of Memory, Many New Features
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Classic 160GB Silver The Apple iPod Classic is a great mp3 player. With 160GB of memory you wont have to worry about how much space you've got left ever again. I paid about £220 for my iPod classic and it was well worth it. With the iPod Classic you can browse you music in many different ways. The newest feature to searching for music is the cover flow feature. This is where you can browse all of your albums by the front cover and you simply click on the cover to see the track listing. You can still browse by Song, Artist, Album and most played. The video feature is excellent. You can hold up to 200 hours of video, all on your iPod Classic. I must say that I am very impressed with the video quality. It's just like watching a TV but with a smaller screen. You can download all of your favourite TV shows straight from...

...Apple iPod Classic 160 GB The iPod Classic is the best once so far with many features. There is not much you can't do on your iPod Classic and with 160 GB of memory you cant go wrong.

Review of Freecom ToughDrive Pro Hard drive 160 GB

Advantages: Tough price
Disadvantages: none

...This was bought to replace my old freecom 40gb drive. Once when using it on a desktops front usb port, i knocked it with my knee and it snapped the connector. Due to this I thought I would go for a toughdrive and I have not been dissapointed. I use it weekly and keep it loose in my laptop bag with no real concern for its safety. No chance of the connector breaking here as its a sealed floppy rubbery affair! also there is a magnet on the clip so it wont become loose wherever you keep it. I have used it on several pc's, laptops and servers without any issue. I often use it for my work on a server that will only have one or two USB ports and neither are in a good postion so I have to leave the drive hanging from the USB port and still no issues. Never needed to use supplied software....

Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black

Advantages: Easy To Use And Lots Of Memory
Disadvantages: None

...Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black The Apple iPod Classic is the best Mp3 player on the market. I paid £230 for my iPod Classic and I must say I am very impressed. There are many new features to the iPod Classic. The sound quality is great and the video quality is just as good as a TV. With 160GB of memory you will never have to worry about running out of space ever again. The iPod its self is very durable. I have dropped my iPod lots of times and it still looks brand new. The screen is a bit like a small wide screen TV but its great for watching TV shows and movies. I wouldn't recommend that any one buys a second hand iPod, as they are quite often broken. In the past I have brought a previous version of the iPod on eBay and when I received the iPod it didn't work, I was very disappointed. Apple iPod Classic 160GB Black Includes...

Seagate Momentus 160Gb 2.5inch hard drive

Advantages: Huge capacity, reasonably fast, 5 year warranty
Disadvantages: Not the fastest

...My laptop, a Dell 5150 is a fine machine (see review elsewhere on Ciao) but the 80Gb hard drive whilst big for a laptop is starting to get a bit cramped now I have both Windows XP and Vista on it so I've started looking around for a second hard drive so I can put Vista on one and leave XP on the other and then swap drives as needed. Luckily, following a previous hard drive failure, I have a spare caddy that the laptop needs so swapping drives would be a quick task, assuming I keep the tiny screwdriver needed handy in my rucksack! Laptop hard drives are smaller than normal - 2.5inch as opposed to 3.5 inch and tend to be at a price premium compared to the 'normal' sized drives, especially the bigger ones. They also tend to be much slower as they run at 4200RPM instead of 5600 or even 7200RPM that desktop ones run at. The reason being...

Ipod Classic - 160GB

Advantages: Size, Workmanship, Functionality
Disadvantages: Zero support for some old peripherals, crashes car stereo , Bit heavy!

...and click 'get album artwork' - this did take a while... but worked! Whilst coverflow looks nice I don't think it adds extra functionality to the IPod... more a space draining quirk! It does look awesome though ;-) Sound playback is the usual high standard - but this is really down to you, the user - I have all my imported (off CD) music set to apple loss-less. Which will take up more space, but with 160 GIGS to play with... it is not a great deal more! It must be said - the headphones supplied are useless... get some Sennheiser CX300 - the added clarity is noticeable - and you do not need it as loud! The hat trick is that the ear buds stay in my ear when I am working out. Video playback; to test this I ripped Family Guy from dvd to IPod using the ImToo software package. Quality was good - but KILLS your battery! So not ideal...

Maxtor DiamondMax Plus9 160GB SATA Hard Drive

Advantages: Fast and Silent, Easy SATA installation, Two flavours to choose from
Disadvantages: Dismal performance

...Maxtor are one of the 3 leading hard drive manufacturers in the personal and business computing market at the moment along with Western Digital and Hitachi. They are also the cheapest. Unfortunately, the saying that price doesn't equals quality is true here. Too true. The 160GB version of the DiamondMax Plus9 can be purchased online from around £51.00 onwards. And with the way hard drive prices have fallen recently, that's not bad at all. But as I said, you're getting cheap quality to match the cheap price. The drive itself looks very similar to any other hard drive, and comes in both IDE ATA/133 and SATA 150 flavours, with the SATA ones easier to configure due to their jumperless installations. My personal experience with this drive has been short. I first purchased this drive to use in my first ever custom-built computer...

A Stylish Hard Drive...Really?

Advantages: Plug and Play, Really Fast Doesn't Overheat
Disadvantages: Nothing =D

...Freecom External 3.5" 160GB Hard Drive I first got the Freecom external hard 160GB hard drive when my internal one on my computer started to get clogged up with applications and other junk. So I decided to go and buy a Freecom external hard drive which is 160 Gigabytes in size. Since this hard drive is external, it does have to look good and not look like a tack bit of plastic with wires hanging out of it. With Freecom though, performance and design is everything. The hard drive enclosure itself is made of high quality, heat absorbing aluminium which is 20 x 11.5 x 4.5 cm ( or 7.9 x 4.5 x 1.6 inches ) in size. On the front of the hard drive enclosure is a storage LED indicator and on the back there is one ' rocker' power on/off switch, a usb port and a power adapter port. This hard drive has been givin five awards including...

Xbox 360 Hard Drive Hard To Do Without.

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 to...
