I have never had a hard drive fail or experienced a major virus attack but I don't fully trust either my PC or any single back up device. As a result, I have a few portable drives in play (a 'ghost image' to replicate the entire drive, documents and media - each in duplicate). These days the cost of such belt and braces is far less than the implications of a total loss. However, until recently this involved a drawer full of chargers for different makes and models and another with several drives the size of small bricks. Carrying a drive around required a carrier bag.All that has changed with this genre of super mini sized drives (the dimensions on site are incorrect - the Goflex is only 12.5 x 8 x 1.3 cm). Powered via USB, there are no bulky adapters and the drive will fit in a pocket. The comparison is between the first mobile phone bricks and the present day models but the difference is that this miniaturisation has occurred in just a couple of years. The 'Ultra...

It's hard sometimes to get excited about hard drives, but there's something about this one that has just tipped the balance and made me go for the 5 stars. I've used this little package as a back-up for my iMac. I already use Time Machine which routes through to a stand-alone desktop hard-drive, so this is the back up to my back up. I figured you can't be too careful, and if the worst were to happen I'd lose all my music and photos, and life would somehow not be worth living. So I set this up using the Mac's Disk Utility, and simply copied everything over. It took about 1.5 hours to throw about 250 gigabytes of data over, and there it is. Safe as houses. And the drive is only half full! It's totally portable so needs no power supply, you just plug and go. Totally quiet in operation and didn't run warm. Excellent drive and highly recommended. 52 of 54 people found the following review helpful Great things come in small packages..., By This review is from: Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 500GB USB 2.0 Ultra-portable External Hard Drive - Silver (Personal Computers) PackagingWell packaged in a sturdy box, and then a plastic inner container that should protect it from bumps and jars in the post. the box contains the GoFlex drive, a Quick Start Guide and a Guarantee card. The drive itself is small and compact looking like a gloss black cigarette case, with the Seagate logo on the top and a manufacturers label beneath. It looks stylish and won't take up hardly any desk or shelf space. Installation The GoFlex is very easy to install. Just plug the adapter into the back of the drive and then the other end into a spare USB 2.0 port and your done. If you have autorun enabled you will be prompted to install the software, if it doesn't autorun on connection you can just run setup.exe in the drives root folder. Once up and running there are two icons added to your system tray (by the clock), one for Seagate Dashboard, and one for Memeo Instant Backup. As soon as both the Seagate Dashboard and Memeo Instant Backup packages... Read more |
