Lacie Desktop Hard Disk 320 GB

Advantages: Does what it says on the tin.
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!

...During my final year of uni, this little gem turned out to be a Godsend. Doing a course which required a lot of camera work, I needed somewhere to store all the raw footage, which anyone who's ever worked with footage from a high quality video camera knows, takes up a hell of a lot of space. So I needed somewhere to keep it locked away safely to take around from uni computer to uni computer. My weapon of choice for an external hard drive was the Lacie Desktop Hard Disk 320 GB. Having brought it online for just under £50, that instantly stuck me as a bargain. Purchased approximately 18 months ago, that was a steal. Naturally, with the passing of time and the increasing availability of external hard drives, the price of this items has began to fall, as is the case with all types of technology. Once plugged in and inserted into a USB...

Review of LaCie Desktop Hard Disk 320 GB

Seagate barracuda SATA 320gb hard drive review

Advantages: Fast, Value for Money, Quiet, 5yr warranty
Disadvantages: none that i know

...to transfer data between pc's without using a network, or for backup storage on many pc's. Also with external hard drives from seagate you only get a 1yr warranty, instead of 5yrs for internal drives like this one. The formatted usable size is 298gb, not 320gb, it is very quiet I do not notice it at all. It is lightning fast thanks to its 16mb cache which helps make windows and programs load up quicker. The downside with the low price I paid was that as it was OEM (original equipment manufacturer) hard drive, this means that it is for computer manufactures and the hard drive is the only item incuded, so there is no instruction manual, or the sata cable to connect your hard drive to the motherboard. I had to buy the cable seperatly, but this was only a couple of quid. However nnon OEM drives come with the cable included. Although no...

Review of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320 GB

Quality, Affordable Back-Up Hard Drive

Advantages: Very Fast, Efficient, Stylish, Easy Installation
Disadvantages: Only a minor point the 1m usb cable

...bigger as its only 1 meter long, something to bear in mind if you plan to have it as a permanant fixture on your computer desk. Installation manual was very easy to read and very helpful with diagrams. So easy I didn't use it though.Plug up the cables, usb and power then power on using the on/off switch located at the back of the drive and away you go, Installation on a Vista Computer was lightning fast and was detected immediately and the driver was installed in a matter of 10/15 seconds.It is very quiet in operation and has a quality blue light which flashes during data transfer.I used Acronis True Image 10 to make a full backup of my 320GB hard drive in less than 45 minutes although it only had a 100gb of data to backup. I thoroughly recommend this external hard drive to all....

Review of Iomega HDD External Desktop Hard Drive 320 GB

Iomega eGo - stylish, affordable and shock resistant

Advantages: Good looking, small, lightweight, additional software included, can be dropped...
Disadvantages: Not the fastest in terms of file transfer

...Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive, model 34615 I bought my Iomega eGo hard drive a few months ago. My laptop has only 40GB hard drive capacity and almost all of it was already used, which made it slower and slower and impossible to run some programs, updates or applications. I decided to buy a portable hard drive, easy to carry but most of all capable of storing all the content of my computer as well as many more files for the future. I had been searching for the ?perfect? portable drive for months and had only limited my choice to a few brands, when my friend (who knows much more about computers than myself) said: ?there are no good or bad portable hard drives among the affordable ones, so just choose the one that looks most sexy?. And so I did. Iomega drive not only looked good but also had a few interesting features and was...

Review of Iomega eGo Portable Hard drive 320 GB

A high tech storage box

Advantages: Plenty space, looks good and very tough.
Disadvantages: None so far.

...I love music, I love movies and as a model I have thousands of pictures all of which I store digitally on my PC well that at least is where I used to store them but I now choose to store them on my shiny new Freecom hard drive. My PC is a good one and it has a 250GB hard drive which I thought would always be plenty for me but I was soon proved wrong and had to get myself an external hard drive and after a few recommendations I settled on the Freecom 320GB tough drive. My modelling pictures are all taken by professionals and using professional cameras that deliver RAW images which are huge in size (aprox 6MB each) when you consider I have thousands of them, space disappears fast. Add to this the thousands of music I store digitally and the tons of movies and you quickly see why the external hard drive was needed. As this hard drive...

Review of Freecom ToughDrive Pro Hard drive 320 GB

Archos 7 (320GB)

Advantages: Light, extra features, good quality, memory, media support.
Disadvantages: Not really any.

... Well it's a touchscrene for a start. It is amazingly easy to navigate, sporting a well-designed title menu. Furthermore, there isn't really an instalation process, it's pretty much just turn it on and off you go. 5/5 Look and Design It certainly looks cool. This actually turns heads when you're using it on a bus or train, and I've even had the odd brave person come over and ask what it is and what it does. 5/5 Range of Features Pretty good, it has: *More memory than you, or at least I, will ever use with 320GB storing up to 400 movies, 3.2 million photos, or 190,000 songs. I mean who gets time to watch 400 movies or listen to 190,000 songs? and as for 3.2 million photos... *A die-hard battery, playing 39 hours music and 10 hours video playback time on a single charge. * Video support for MPEG-4, M-JPEG and even...

Review of Archos 7 320GB

It's not hard to drive in the west

Advantages: good space, great price and works a charm
Disadvantages: not quite the full 320GB stated but hey....

...a good search for the right internal HD I finally came across a selection by several different companies, all claiming to offer the best quality at a good price. But the one that jumped out at me was from a company called Western Digital, who I had dealt with before and felt quite confident about. ** Brief description? (technical stuff coming up) * 2.5? internal hard drive * 320GB hard drive * Serial ATA * 300 Mbps transfer rate * 5400 rpm spindle speed * 8 MB buffer zone * Works with all Windows (not sure about 7) * Shockgaurd technology protects the drive from shocks * Whisperdrive technology gives a quiet performance with great power consumption. * SecurePark technology, which means that the reading head never touches the disk, therefore giving longer life to the drive. * 70mm by 100mm by 9.5mm * 117...

Review of Western Digital Scorpio WD3200BEVT 320 GB

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...

A hard to damage hard drive!

Advantages: Tough, fast and inexpensive!
Disadvantages: None to date.

...External hard drives seem to be getting ever more popular, it seems no matter how big the PC or laptop`s own drive is it`s never enough. This particular external hard drive is designed to be portable so as well as having the extra space you might need you also have the option of being able to take this drive along to friends or family`s houses or even to work and instantly have access to all the files you need or even just want. The Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive in question has a 250Gb capacity which when used along with your original hard drive or probably even on its own is more than enough for most. Some external hard drives look and are very bulky and cumbersome, this one being designed to be portable is a lot less so. It is fairly light weight but very robust and also has the distinct advantage of looking good which a lot...

Xbox 360 120GB Hard Drive

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...
