Advantages: Reliable, Silent, Good value, big storage

Disadvantages: Not very mobile

If you want reliable, fast data storage, look no further my friend. For the price of around 50 pound this thing will sort out all your data storage miseries. I got mine from curries a couple months back. My family needed one due to the lack of space we each have on our computers. I can tell you now I'm very impressed with the way it has performed, even after being dropped accidently several times, this baby just keeps on kicking.

At this price, I would argue its one of the best value for money externals around. Its not too big, but not too small that it will fit in your pocket like a hdd passport. So if you need this for mobility I'd suggest you get something else. However, you get much more gb's per pounds you spend on this than you do on the smaller ones, so in my view, get this put carry in your bag with your laptop or something.

The storage on this thing is insane, 500gb is all I certainly will ever need to keep things on the go, and my household has 4 laptops and a netbook running. It's reliable too, not once has it ever failed to start.

This baby is completely noise free. It's running right next to me now and the laptop is louder than that is.

Get this and it will sort out all your storage problems guarenteed, and at a price of 50 quid I think is a bargain. However, if you want storage on the go, go look at the hdd passports, as this is more for home and office use.

Summary: If you want an external and you need lots of storage, get this.
