Digital camera Review: A fantastic external hard drive
Summary: 5 Stars
I received this external hard drive as a gift from my sister who knows that I'm always transferring things from my Mac Mini to my PC. This little hard drive gives me lots of options and a perfect way to go between platforms. I couldn't be more delighted with this gift.
I plugged this drive into my Mac first and it came up with formatting screen where I was able to format the drive into sections for the Mac and the PC or all Mac or all PC. I chose the larger section for the Mac since I have the master file for my iTunes music and most of my photo's on this computer. It was simple to drag the little box to allow more or less space on each partition and then just hit a button to format it. Nothing could be simpler. I use Windows XP and Mac OS X.
There are ports for FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and USB2.0 so you have your choice. My Mac has FireWire but my PC doesn't. I may end up adding one to the PC though, since it's so much faster to transfer files with it. I was able to back up all my music and photo files and transfer some of them to my PC without any problem and I'm not a real techie person, I'm a 60 year old woman. It's pretty simple to use. And 250 GB is just the right size for the files that I want to back up.
I love the looks of this thing with the orange band around it. I may order another one myself in another color so I can tell the drives apart. (The colored bands are removable and can be interchanged). It has a nice solid feel to it.
My sister was also nice enough to get me this Case Logic Compact Portable Hard Drive Case (Black) that is the perfect size for the hard drive. I could get by without a case since the drive seems pretty sturdy, but it's nice when you want to throw it in a briefcase or backpack to have that little bit extra protection.
