I just bought it 2 months ago after some market research and am happy with this. Still i am not sure is this the best you can get for $62 because this is the first external drive i have used. But anyways its working o.k.(though a few times my computer fails to recognize the drive even if connected).I have tried this drive on several operating systems including win98, winXP and after few strug...

This review is for a hard drive enclosure. It holds any drive equal to or smaller then the standard desktop drive (3.5"). It seems to do decently at transfering away heat as it never becomes real hot to the touch, which is why I bought an all-alluminum one.Build Quality is only so-so, the drive fits fine, but the screws to attach to drive stick out a little far meaning there are basically ...

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...

A friend of mine raved about her new external laptop battery which she bought online at Battery Standard.  She just had to let me use it so I could try it out.  You would have thought she had found gold.Since we both have the same model of Dell computer, she knew it would work with my computer which it did.This battery is intended to aid and offer a bit more time to the battery a pers...

We burn a lot of DVDs.  We are huge music fans, and are now creating family DVDs on a regular basis.  We have both a Mac and a PC.  The Mac doesn't have a DVD burner (I did not know this when I purchased my MacBook - how Apple gets away with charging almost $1000 for a laptop that doesn't have a DVD burner is a whole other story....), and the DVD burner on my Dell died af...

The Toshiba 250gb Portable External Hard Drive has has a number of mixed reviews, some saying it is reliable and great, others disappointed because it broke. Personally I have found nothing wrong with it. It is still working even after a month of being transported place to place. However, there have been odd reports that this device brakes for no apparent reason.The external hard drive comes fr...

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...

My husband has a great external flash for his Canon SLR camera.  It is the Speedlite 580EX.  This flash mounts securely on top of his camera and works very efficiently.  He can take great photos in poor lighting with this flash as it is very powerful.  It comes in a nylon padded case and is very easy to store in a camera bag when not in use.  This is Canon's to...

I bought this a while back when my old gateway laptop's DVD drive stopped working.  Now the price of the external drive is more than what I paid for it.  It has always never failed me.  it does what it is supposed to.  It can read and write DVDs and CDS. You need two usb slots on your computer to get this to work.  Now it does not take away from the two slots.&...

The LaCie 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive is a great value for the storage capacity offered.

     I noticed recently that my computer was running slower and finally realized that I was running out  drive space.  I spoke to a friend of mine and he advised me look at what I have installed on my computer and to delete what I did not need anymore.  I did as he advised and noticed that my photos and music was taking up a lot of mem...

I have a deviated septum in my left nostril and I probably should have had surgery to correct it many years ago, but I didn't.  Now I'm having trouble when it gets dry in the house or I have a cold.  I can't breath out of that side of my nose at those times.  I remember the commercial about Breathe Right Strips on television so I decided to give them a try. I got...

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...

Wow! I was so excited when i first purchased this external harddrive. This is a good product when you need to find a balance in storage between your computer harddrive and a usb key. I needed portability, which although it is cumbersome compared to a usb key,500 gigabytes of storage is nothing to sneeze at.It connects via usb for fast access.I reccommend organising your files on the drive at th...
