Advantages: Looks and works OK

Disadvantages: Back up software is trial only

The Buffalo 320GB harddrive arrives well packaged and protected. Included are some very, very basic instructions on how to load the drive onto your computer, plus a warranty and a USB lead.

The harddrive looks quite good, with a lovely reflective surface and curved edges, however it is a little bulky and definitely won't compare with the credit card sized ones you can get these days! I have the black version but it is also available in White and Red. The white would look lovely if you have a Mac!

There have been complaints on Amazon reviews about the USB lead, but although it's not particularly long it's also definitely not the shortest I've seen and it's about a comparable length to the ones which come with WD harddrives, so it's not really anything to worry about.

It works as you would expect, connecting easily to your computer via USB and loading quickly. It has got software which will encrypt your data for you which is useful if you have any sensitive information, as it will hopefully prevent thieves from accessing it.

Unfortunately though the back up software that's included is only valid for one month, which means this falls behind the other harddrives available which include back up software without limits.

This is a passable harddrive which does its job but not one that I'd go out of my way to recommend. It is currently available to buy for £51.32 on Amazon.co.uk.
