... your PC. There's a disc that comes with it, but I didn't bother with this. The hard drive is plug and play and the drivers should be automatically installed by your OS on first use.
I have this turned on whenever my PC is turned on and put all of my files on it. I only use my C drive for Windows and software so that it has breathing space and fragmentation does not degrade OS performance. It is near-silent because it has a heat sink instead of a fan, so it runs slightly hot, but this is normal and not a problem....morePrice Comparison for Freecom Hard Drive Classic 500 GB

I can't remember how long I've had this hard drive. Probably over a year now. And it's never let me down. It's just as good as an internal hard drive, but easier to set up.

I've had this hard drive four about a year now and it's still working 100% fine. I can't remember how much it cost but I purchased it online from scan. It runs very quitely and looks pretty stylish too. I tend to move it about a lot with my laptop and as a result it gets a few knocks along the way but it's still working without problem. However a friend of mine has the 400gb version and he sometimes has to switch the unit on and off a few times before his computer recognises the hard drive as a device. This has also been happening to mine recently. This may be a fault with the computer or the fact that neither of us have it on all the time and ... Read the complete review

This is a fantastic storage solution for everybody and anybody!. Running very quietly, needing only a spare USB port and a plug outlet, this item has been in constant use in my study-so much so that I recommended it for work as well. You do not need any special software to run it-drivers are included on a CD but it's really a simple plug and play device. There is a power button on the back and a blue light shows on the front panel when active. Transfer goes at the usual standard rate. 500 GB is usually ample for home use and you should be able to pick it up for a fairly good price (check out some price comparison sites for the best deal) as, like all storage ...
