The Portability of a Hardrive: Part 1

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

When one wants to buy a hardrive, keep in mind he wants one for his mobile life, he is looking for maximum size capacity as well as the lest amount of area or space.

But as you know, the smaller and more powerful a machine is the more expensive it is too. So the big method in finding a hard drive is finding one that fits your capacity levels, as well as its ability to be mobile.

With that in mind, PC World has labeled its top 10 external hardrives, based on prices, size, etc.

The first one here is only a 40GB hard drive, but as you can see, it is sleek to a level of perfection. The only bad thing about this product is its cost. At a terrible rip-off price, the Vault is at 6 dollars per Gigabyte.

You can get a laptop 120 GB hard drive for nearly 70$ and then buy a 20$ enclosure for it. Its cheaper that way, especial with the dollar per GB ratio.

A user rated this hard drive a “Superior” above all ratings, or that was the average ratings. Chances are that only a few people bought this item, hence the ratings being so high. One other good thing about the drive is that its plug and play, but I mean, that is not other than the ordinary, all things now are plug and play, who are they kidding? :P

Having come to a conclusion, I believe that this product is not worth putting on the top 10 hard drives in PC World, I don’t know why they did it, but they did.

If you ever have needs as to buying a hard drive or any other computer accessories, Newegg is the place to go. Check it out.
