Awesome drive. Great for backing up my photo...

Strengths: Toshiba drive inside. Very small. Shorter cable.

Weakness: Wish for a 'wraparound' cable storage method. Also, the gloss black case shows fingerprints like there's no tomorrow. How about throwing in a fancy case.

Great drive. Toshiba quality. Super silent. Doesn't get very warm. Pretty case. But it does show fingerprints. Wish it was a matte black. 250GB of portable storage. What can I say? It works. Price was a few bucks higher than competition. I like the shorter cable, but I wishe these companies would make a storage slot that goes around it. I'd like to store the cable in the unit. I don't like long...

Great portable hard drive

Strengths: small size, good storage capacity, usb-powered, lightweight

Weakness: none

This is a great buy, especially for people that store large quantities of pictures and music. Not everybody can change a notebook hard drive on their own, so this thing works great for people like that. It is very small and lightweight. You could probably carry it in your pocket and you would barely realize it was there. It is completely powered by your usb port so you dont need to plug it into...

Great 250GB portable drive

Strengths: Fast and Quiet

Weakness: Bundle program is not feature-rich as others

The drive is fast and easy to use. My mac (OS X) and PC (Win XP) detects it with no problem. While working, the drive is cooler, quieter, and less vibration than my old portable HDD (Generic Enclosure + Seagate HDD). However, these strengths are not much compare to WD 250GB portable HDD which I also bought about the same time. Consider only the drive, this is an excellent product.

Portable External 250 GB Hard Drive

Strengths: It is portable and lightweight and easy to use. Its plug and play ready and that is a big plus.

Weakness: the program that comes with it could be improved and made a bit simpler.

Its the 2nd one I have owned, the first is my 160 gig ( other brand) this one I bought to go with my Toshiba laptop and it works fine with it. I think I might have preferred they include a little holder for it since its rounded on the ends and can't sit up, so has to just lay on its side. But other than that, the design itself is ok and its not too heavy. I think it works right out of the box and...
