Advantages: looks good, works well

Disadvantages: short cable

My boyfriend has appeared with one of these hard drives that he was supposed to get for christmas but bought himself. It cost him £70 and he bought it from currys in bristol centre.

The style of the harddrive is quite important because that's all we really see and this, as far as these things go, is quite attractive. The usb to connect to the computer has a nice rounded grip which adds something to the overall look. The logo of free agent is quite nice i think, a kind of swirl in silver on the black. There are also some decorative indenations towards the back of the hard drive which look good.

It has 320GB of space which is a lot for us, we don't really need more than that and I suppose the average user wouldn't either. At 70 pounds I think that's quite a bargain really, you get more space for your money!

The other fab thing about this little gizmo is that it is super small and compact. It is also very light so you can carry it around with you wherever you like. It's also very quiet.

In terms of setting it up with the computer, it's really very easy and a case of "plug and play". It's also easy to access via my computer, and you can even have an icon on the desktop to make things easier.

My main criticism is that the usb cable is quite short and isn't suitable for anything other than a laptop. I have to have mine right ontop of the computer tower.

In short, this is a good value, good looking piece of kit and I would recommend it to the average user.

Summary: cute little hard drive with big space!
