Robust, portable USB hard drive (239 words)

Ran out of space on my old laptop, so invested in one of these drives. Its small enough to fit in a pocket and is powered by USB so has no external adaptor which makes it ideal for travel. I use it daily as external storage on my work laptop and have had no problems with it - access to files is fast and it can be plugged into other computers to transfer data. On my old laptop (an older Dell) I had some problems with it occasionally requiring more juice than the USB could supply which was annoying. My newer Dell (M4300) doesn't have any of these problems, so I reckon it must have been to do with the old one's USB. The drive was simple to set up, just connect and you .  Read the complete review
