I have bought a fair few hard-drives over the past few years, all of which have failed, from Seagate to Western Digital. I then came across this Samsung S2 1TB drive, so thought I'd give it a go.

As of yet, I have had no problems what so ever with this drive. It holds loads of data, mainly music in my case. Depending on the size of each music track, I'd say you can easily hold 100,000 songs on the drive.
It's also so easy to use, simply drag and drop. Files don't even take that long to copy across, so if your in a slight rush, and need a few documents, it'll only take a minute or two to copy them across.

The drive is small and compact, it fits in your hand perfectly. Not to forget, it is powered from USB, meaning plug it in, and off you go! No need for any separate power cables. This makes the drive extremely portable!

The drive also comes with 2 built in features:
Samsung SafetyKey which protects any backup data with a password
and
Samsung SecretZone which encrypts your data

Both of these features eliminate any worries. If the hard drive is lost or stolen and has any personal/private information, no one will access it without the device password.

The S2 is also compatible on both, Windows operating systems (Vista /XP/2000 Pro/7 or later) and Mac OS (Mac OS x 10.4.8 or later).

The device can be picked up around the £80 mark on eBay.
