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.

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: Small, lightweight, efficient, reliable. does what it says
Disadvantages: Tape, small capacity, price, slow, storage/usage issues

...The Sony DGD120P is the second incarnation of the DDS tape format used for computer backup in the 1990s. Back in the days when company data took up a few gigabytes of disk space, the DDS2 cartridge provided a relatively cheap and efficient way to backup and restore data easily. ~~~ Appearance ~~~ Looking not unlike a modern Mini-DV casette, the DGD120P measures 72mm x 52mm x 10mm in black plastic with a small window showing the tape spooled inside. Unlike a video casette, the tape contained within cannot be easily accessed by prying fingers and the wheels used for spooling the tape are inaccessible until the cartridge is inserted into a drive. On the spine of the cartridge is a small white switch allowing the user to write-protect the tape and preserve a copy of the data contained thereupon. Each cartridge is also supplied... Read review

Advantages: Very fast, quiet and sleek design
Disadvantages: Could have a bigger capacity

...This external hard drive is perfect for anyone that owns a laptop, although it can also be connected to a PC. Looks The looks of this hard drive is minimalistic yet looks modern and sleek with an orange light on the front that glows when in operation. The size of the hard drive is very small, hence being perfect for laptop users as it can easily fit into a laptop bag. The hard drive also makes no sound what-so-ever. Using the Hard Drive It is a very easy component to use. All that you need to do is plug it in to your laptop of PC through the USB connector. The USB connector has a data+power cable and a secondary power cable for USB ports that cant supply enough power through the single port. This hard drive only has 120 gb worth of space but it is possible to get upto 160gb if 120gb is too small. Also... 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: 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: Very nice and relatively light high storage addon
Disadvantages: plastic.... "feeling hot hot hot " springs to mind.

...Speed / Size ---------------------- Note : This does require its own power source.. supplied in the form of a power adaptor. This is a 120 Gigabite hard drive, but formatted with fat 32 = 115 Gigs :-( Speed is 7200rpm, not sure about the cache sorry. Connections -------------------------- This is either usb 1.1 or 2.0, and i would very highly recommend that you use it with 2.0 as its very fast and trnsfering data is easier. With 1.1 it takes forever, and with that time comes heat, and with that heat comes less stability. It can be done with large files ( transfering that is ) but just be prepared to wait a long time :-) whilst moving 4 gigs from a friends pc, it took on usb 1.1 an hour and a half !! Compared to around 15mins on 2.0....so you see the need for speed ? The hard drive is supplied with its own USB - USB... Read review

Advantages: good hard drive which looks nice and can store whatever you want!
Disadvantages: quite expensive - but you can still do alot with it!

...downloading games and films and need even more space you can purchase a 120GB hard drive for £129.99 (play.com) If you are going to need more space then this would be a better option as it is cheaper in relation to the space you are given. Or, if you just want to store game saves and aren't worried about all the extras such as films and games then you can buy a simple memory unit either 64mb (£15) or 512mb (£29.99) Thanks for reading!...
