The Apple Time Capsule 802.11n Wi-Fi Hard drive is a hard drive external backup unit and router all in one. My husband recently purchased us his and her MacBook Pro's. At that time he also purchased the Time Capsule. I am not very technical when it comes to computers so I will share my experience along with the more technical information from the packaging which I will try to explain t...

This external hard drive provides 500 GB of extra or backup storage.  It works best if you don’t need to move it around very much.  I think I wish I had bought the “My Passport.”This is a very reasonably priced way to get additional computer storage. This is the “My Book Essential,” the most basic model.  It is 6.5 inches tall x 5.5 inches deep and 2...

HP Pocket media drive- another gift I got for Christmas that I really love is a Hewlett Packard Pocket Media Drive. When I bought a new computer it came with a slot for one of these pocket media drives, but no actual drive to put in it. The more I read about this hard drive the more I thought this is something I could really use to protect my data and save me time in the long run.This pocket me...

LaCie has a reputation for making sleek, sexy hard drives and other devices, this 1TB external hard drive is no exception. The hard drive itself is incased in a glossy black case, with a well placed blue light, located near the fron on the underside. Normally when I see something that looks as good as this, I have to question whether it is "all show, and no go," however, this mobile s...

I had previously owned a Seagate Freeagent Go 250GB external hard drive, and I only have good things to say about it. The disc sat on my desktop for a couple of years and I never noticed it was there. It was quiet and fast. I got the 1TB version because I was running out of space. So, I retired the old one. This version is silver, unlike the older black one. The first thing that I noticed that ...

On my laptop I had a Fujitsu MHT2030AT ATA-6 30GB drive. Happily, it lasted for three years and I got extensive use out of it.From memory, the Fujitsu MHT2030AT worked fine. In the end, it died on me, but considering the amount of use I put it through, that shouldn't be anything to sneeze at.The Fujitsu drive was nice and quiet, with the most noise it made was the crunching sound a drive ma...

After we began digitizing our home movies, it became apparent that our 100GB hard drive was not going to cut it.  We also have a large music and photo collection, so I decided to start looking into options for backing them up.  There were some factors that we considered when picking out a hard drive:1.  We wanted an external drive.  With two laptops (one being a Mac), the co...

Along with the USB flash drive would come the external hard drive - a useful piece of techology (although heavier than a flash drive due to its larger size than that of flash drives) that, not unlike the flash drive, gives you a set amount of storage (measured in bytes - kilo, mega, giga and so forth) capacity for the purpose of - of course - saving/storing your files! At first, I was a bit ske...

I've been using Western digital caviar hard drives in my computers ever since windows 98 was on the shelfs.These are very quiet and reliable hard drives that work for a variety of things. The first thing I noticed about these hard drives is how quiet they are, this hard drive is so quiet you will forget it's even running.And I had no problem setting this up either, as soon as you hook t...

This drive turned out to be one of the better deals that I've been fortunate to come across.  A couple of years ago, one of the local computer stores was closing down, and they were liquidating their remaining inventory.  I made several visits to the store during their clearance, and picked up various items that I had been wanting.  On the last visit that I made, I saw that t...

Great value & performance. This drive has excellent power savings over other drives currently on the market. While not the fastest drive, the performance is more than adequate for any typical PC user other than hardcore gamers and business power users. Also a great drive to upgrade your TiVo's storage capacity. I used this drive to upgrade my TiVo HD unit. The stock drive is only 160gb ...

I am a gamer's mania. I like to play offline "heavy" games. Well, in order to play these games, I must have storage that has large capacity. Every single game requires a minimum 6GB of space. I play GTA IV; it needs 14GB of space, very large I think. So I choose Seagate as my brand because I think other brands not have a "long life". Most of them got bad sector in 3-6 mo...

I just purchased this 500gb hard drive recently, and so far so good. I prefer having these external drives just incase I need to reformat the computer at any time. Future Shop had this on sale, because I'm pretty sure these devices are quite costly usually. It comes with a USB cord so you can plug it into your computer. This hard drive allows you to have lots of space if you're a media ...

Back in October 2008, my dad asked me to backup the files on his laptop because he was going to send it in to be reformatted at a computer repair shop. I decided to buy an external hard drive for this purpose. I settled on getting a Seagate FreeAgent Go drive at a local Best Buy for $84.99 with tax; I would have preferred ordering it online for a cheaper price, but I had to backup the files v...

When I first saw this product online, I thought it was a brilliant price because of the large storage compacity and I thought it looked like a nice size and style. I took it out of the box to find it was extremely heavy and bulky.. but since it wasn't advertised as portable this wasn't too much of a problem. It worked straight away, but the bundled software wasn't really adequate. T...
