After having looked at a total of fifteen drives, we can conclude that the Seagate Backup Plus Fast 4 TB is the most interesting from a technical point of view. It also performs very well, thanks to its two disks in RAID 0. We awarded this drive the Har...
For this review, we had the 2TB model in Blue to test.The drive is small and lightweight so it can easily fit it in your pocket, and its also quiet, which is what you want for a portable drive. There is no power supply with this drive, it is powered from...
Abstract: The new drives are available in 1TB, 2TB and newly 3TB versions. They are all the same size and in my tests did not require external power other than that coming down the provided USB3 lead, they also work correctly on USB2 drives but of course the data t...

Abstract: Finding all this information elsewhere is less easy so let's hope it's just my PC that it was fussy with.It is 12.5x8.5x2cm and weights 279grams.The top has two LEDs, green and blue. From switching on to both being shown is just under 30seconds after that...
Absolutely stunning looks, Very classy finish, High build quality, Robust metal casing, Ideal stocking filler/gift
Expensive for what it is, Weighs quite a bit for something portable
So Christmas is coming fast (already November) and the time of looking for gifts for friends, loved ones, colleagues and of course yourself is upon us. What relevance does that have do you ask? Well the Western Digital My Passport Ultra 2TB USB 3.0 Exte...

The great thing about the WD Ultra is its raw transfer speed - USB 3.0 is fast. It's unusual that a portable hard drive impresses us in this regard, but the Ultra really did. It's got a decent capacity for a fair enough price point and you won't get...

Fast High capacity Nice design Portable
Plastic case not as sturdy as other hard drives
So is the Western Digital My Passport Ultra the ultimate external hard drive? Not really. Its speeds are around the same as the Western Digital My Passport Slim – which of course is no bad thing – but because of the Slim's sturdy and small case, we much ...
