  • Abstract:  Samsung is an established manufacturer of internal 2?in laptop hard disks, so it's no surprise that it has released its own range of external models. The S2 is slightly more compact than most external portable disks we've seen, since its internal 2?in ...

  • Very fast sequential read and write speeds for an external 2.5” hard disk, Read and write performance remains impressive even in USB2 mode, Operates on all our USB ports, even ports which fail to spin up other buspowered USB drives, Stylish design and
  • Its glossy finish is a serious magnet for fingerprints and easily scratched, Like many buspowered HDDs, it lacks official USB certification, Bundled software does not support 64bit OS.
  • The USB3 connection on this Samsung HDD is no gimmick, delivering up to three times the performance of USB2 in many of our tests. Even when copying small files, the USB3 interface was still much quicker, making this drive ideal for users who need addition...

  • Simple, compact design; fast transfer speeds; generous three-year warranty; inexpensive; available in a rainbow of colors
  • Included backup and password protection software doesn't support Mac OS
  • Although we dinged its predecessor because of its inflated price tag, the Samsung S2 Portable hard drive earns high marks and our recommendation for being reasonably priced, having fast file-transfer speed, and for having a generous three-year warranty.

  • All eight portable drives we tested work well if you mainly need a device to store large amounts of user data that doesn't depend much on performance. As soon as you apply more demanding workloads, it's time to start paying more attention to the way yo...

  • Sleek and Cool Design, bundled backup and security applications.
  • Expensive, performance not up to mark.
  • The Samsung S2 Portable does impress with its sleek looks. But, its S2’s sleek looks aren’t enough to justify such a premium....

  • Samsung, while relatively new to the portable hard disk scene, has an inspired product in the S2. It has the looks and the performance to match, and to sweeten the deal, Samsung has bundled with it an auto backup software as well as SecretZone & Safety...

  • With its sleek and stylish design, the Samsung S2 Portable 160GB hard disk is a drive that you might considering carrying around. The S2 Portable package is simple and not too overwhelming for someone looking for a light portable and/or backup storage ...
