The Hard Drive Toaster
I have been buying Vantec external hard drive enclosures for several years nows, and they have allowed me to add terabytes of storage to my computers for video and audio files. When I saw this thing, I said to myself, Cool!
Vantec has designed the NST-D100SU in white plastic to make a [...]

Poor backup option in image mode
If you purchased this drive and software (as I did) to restore after system crashes you may be in for a rude surprise - the included Safetydrill software does not (as claimed) delete older versions of backups as required to make space for newer ones, instead it MOVES them to [...]

Tight little package
I openned up the box and immediately dodged all the manuals like I always do. I’ve owned a Seagate FreeAgent 120 and Iomega iGo so I figure this would be cake. Plugged it into my XP system and it detected it right away, the blue lights came on but the fun paused there. [...]

Differences between it and the Essential
The reviewer who said that this product is identical as the WD Passport Essential (other than the soft finish) is incorrect. The two big features that are included with the Elite are backup software and a capacity gauge. You also get remote access software (no biggie for me). [...]

Works well; meets expectations
I bought this hard drive for use with my laptop that I recent got for the start of college. I needed an external drive to supplement my laptop’s 80GB drive, and I went with this Iogear hard drive mostly because of its low price. The added bonus is that it looks pretty [...]

Beatiful but crappy
IMPORTANT UPDATE: DRIVER HAS FAILED, READ THE END OF THE REVIEW BEFORE BUYING!!!!!!!!!! (Amazon doesn’t allow me to change from five to zero stars)
I purchased this external HD mainly for backups of my HP laptop and my wife’s Mackbook. The main reason for choosing this model was that it is one of the [...]

Quiet, Quick, and Easy
The Seagate FreeAgent Deks 1TB for Mac (ST310005FJA105-RK) is a 1TB external drive Seagate is marketing for the Mac fanbase (though the drive could be re-formatted for Windows).

What in the hell is wrong with Western Digital
If you are just looking to add an additional drive for storage, don’t buy this new version of My Book Essential. Especially if you plan to buy more than one (which you of course should unless it’s purely a backup drive). You will regret it unless you [...]

OK for the price, I guess…
(Read the updates at the end; way too many bugs in the product for me…)
Original review:
I have to say WOW - my expectations were low at the time of ordering, but it far exceeded my expecations so far.
Pros:
1. Small and fast (ethernet performance seems to be fine on my 802.11G [...]
