Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003FAA2E1-RK (Black) Immediately


Before buying this drive I compared it with other portable drives and read all the reviews on Amazon and even PC Magazine which recommends it as one of its top products. So I thought I could not go wrong but unfortunately everything with this drive has gone wrong. For starters its not 320 gigs but 298 gigs instead which is not how Amazon advertises it. Every back up I have attempted has failed! I have followed the instructions by the letter and it still does not back up any of my files. Technical support is non existent, you have to first register before being allowed to get any type of assistance and then you must go thru these customer forums and post your problem or questions and then wait for and answer from another user?? The customer service number will have you on hold forever. At this point I am trying to return this drive back to SeagateGet more detail about Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive ST905003FAA2E1-RK (Black).

Not happy with the flash card. My sole purpose was to have a Mico Flash Card that could be used in a standard SD slot on my computor.

Cheapest Kingston Elite Pro 8 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card CF/8GB-S2


so maybe it was my bad, buying a kingston card for the first time after reading somewhat mixed reviews... i thought maybe the bad ones were just the result of defective cards. guess i got one of those... i tested it, it worked fine; i took it to a wedding (shooting RAW on a canon 5D) and it shot fine for about an hour - i had no problems with the speed - then all of a sudden started telling me the card was not formatted. yikes!
in the end, the files were all there, but i'm not touching the card again... can't afford to have that happen to me at a wedding. going back to sandisk... i know any card can go bad, but solidity of reputation counts for something!Get more detail about Kingston Elite Pro 8 GB 133x CompactFlash Memory Card CF/8GB-S2.

Purchase Olympus 2 GB Type M xD-Picture Card 202170


We got it little late than we thought it would be but we were still happy to get it. At that time we lived in USA, now we are in Europe and the Picture Card went down, we can not make any pictures, we can not downlanda any it is not working at all.

Iomega Home Media 1 TB Network Attached Storage 34337 Right now


I purchased this network drive to link three pc's, one running XP, another Vista and the last a mac. The software was buggy on the XP machine from the start. It did not let me open the Retrospect software. It would just hang there for ever and I would have to manually close it. I spent hours trying to get this to work. I could still link to the web interface but that did not help with the settings and adjustments that you may need to make (I know I did).

It was slow but that was not the biggest issue. This unit gives a off a lot of noise. The fan keeps humming and it does not ever seem to go into a stand by when not n use. Add that to the software issue and I could not live with it. The warranty and help desk is a joke for this type of unit. Online live chat is your only live support unless you pay a premium for the phone support. I tried the online chat and it was slow and time consuming to say the least. And this unit only has a 1 year warranty. Now with the fan never stopping and the unit not able to go into stand by, what do you think of a 1 year warranty?

Luckily I was able to return this to Amazon and purchased another model from another manufacturer.

I would say that if you get this to work it is a fair unit for network use at a good price. But I believe that there are a few other units available that do what this does and better. The old saying "you get what you pay for" may apply here.

Lowest Price Sandisk SDSDB-4096-A11 4 GB Secure Digital High Capacity Flash Card


WARNING: Not all cameras and/or laptops can "recognize" a 4Gb SD drive.
My three year old Canon PowerShot A540 could not, and so did my faithfull 6-yr old Toshiba A25-S307(upgraded to the max). I was saved by a co-worker who had a 2Gb drive and his (newer) cameras could read my new 4Gb. The 4Gb's price of $10+ (including shipping) made the "exchange" fair and painless!

SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package) This instant


I have used many memory cards from San Disc and they have been fine. So I bought this Extreme before taking a trip to Alaska, I used it a few times before leaving and it stopped working. My Nikon D300 would give a warning stating it was defective. I went on a Flickr forum to see if others had the same problem with their d300s. I found that they did and there were comments on what to do to see if it was the camera or the card. I went through a series of tests to determine for sure it was the card.
I called San Disk for a rpleacement. The young man from some foriegn country ezplained to me how to use a memory card, it drove me nuts. Then he suggested that I do some of the same tests that I had already done. I complied and of course it still was the card. He then suggested that I completley load the card with photos then re-format the card and call back. He gave me a an event number.
I did as he asked, knowing it woudl not work. I called back the next day to what ever country they are in, what is wrong with using Americans???? I did get a return number and sent the card back more than a month ago, and am still waiting.
Befor my Alaska trip, I had to buy two 4g cards to rplace the defective one, not not San Disk cards.
I am still waiting for the replacement.
I know that it is possible for any manufacturer to put out a card that might be defective, my main complint is the long period of time to replace this card.
I once had HP replace an entire printer before I sent them the defective one and they sent it overnight!!
I may still buy a San Disk card again, but if I ever get another bad one, it will be my last.Get more detail about SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III CF Card SDCFX3-008G-A31 (Retail Package).

Cheap Iomega eGo Mac Edition 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 800/FireWire 400 Portable External Hard Drive 34629 (Ruby Red)


The drive itself is great. It's silent, light weight, takes almost no desk space, and the connection is one-wire simple.

BUT---I bought this as an automatic back up device on the basis that it was specifically designed to work with my Mac. It was to replace an older Iomega drive that had broken. The software that "comes with it" is all really downloaded. The Iomega software will not work with anything older than OX 10.5. (And the older Iomega software with my old drive never worked well on the Mac, so I didn't try to run this drive with that.) The other option is Retrospect. I downloaded that, and to install it, the software required the license number off the box. Well, if I downloaded the software, there isn't a box. It took a couple of days with with a friend who works at Iomega to get a license number.

Retrospect doesn't work smoothly or automatically. It may do a full back up, but I just want to create a duplicate of my files automatically. So far, I can't make that happen. I want it to automatically create a copy of a new or changed document, photo, or music. Moving copies manually with Finder is simple and easy--without Retrospect or Iomega software. But I have to remember to do it. Doing it with Retrospect is a long, slow process. Also the installation and set up prompts on Retrospect refer to check boxes and options that don't exist on the Mac menus.

I'm just a typical computer user, not an IT specialist, but generally can install and set up this kind of stuff with no problems. I've got several hours invested in this and it's still not doing what it's supposed to. Iomega tech support is pretty weak.

So while this is an excellent choice if you are putting files on a portable drive to take with you, it isn't doing what I wanted as a back-up device. Get more detail about Iomega eGo Mac Edition 500 GB USB 2.0/FireWire 800/FireWire 400 Portable External Hard Drive 34629 (Ruby Red).

Cheapest LaCie Hard Disk 1 TB FireWire 400/USB 2.0/eSATA External Hard Drive, Design by Neil Poulton 301315U


(Introductory review)
Since it's hard to review a hard drive right out of the box, I will update this review at the first, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 month points. That should give a respectable idea of the product's performance.

System Disclosure:
I am hooking up the LaCie hard drive to my Mac Mini that is running OS X 10.5.8. I will be using the hard drive as a media storage unit to house videos and music that I will run constantly to stream videos throughout media extenders (Xbox 360) with the software assistance of Rivet.

What's in the Box:
LaCie 1TB Hard Drive
USB 2.0 cable
eSATA cable
FireWire 400 cable
FireWire 800 cable
External power supply
Quick install guide
LaCie Utilities (preloaded on the drive)
User manual; LaCie Backup Assistant (Windows and Mac)
LaCie setup assistant

Setup:
The setup process went quite smoothly. I first plugged in the power supply adapter, which I then connected to the hard drive. From there, I plugged in the hard drive to the Mac Mini via the USB 2.0 cable. That prompted the installation and formatting software to initiate. You're asked to double click the icon. Then you have to agree to the terms of service. After that, you choose your operating system to format and/or optimize your drive. The whole process takes less than 90 seconds, and then you're ready to go.

Initial Transfer:
I had 250GB's of data to transfer, mostly in the form of videos. The transferring of data took about 210 minutes, with 100 percent data retention (meaning there weren't any files missing, damage, or corrupted as far as I could tell). After the data was transferred, I proceeded in setting up my media server again, and was ready to test this unit's performance.

Performance:
At times, the Rivet software can be picky when adding a new directory. However, this time, I saw my folder on the screen, and was ready to play. I played a few videos, backed out of screens, and paused for a long period. From this, I was able to tell that this hard drive makes no sound what so ever. It put my old Western Digital MyBook to shame in this regard. Loading of media was fast, granted that the factors weren't external, such as; bandwidth issues and Xbox 360 issues. To put it to its full use, I turned on both of my sons' Xboxes and proceeded in playing media from those two units, as well as the one in the home theater room. I wanted to see how well it could handle the load. Again, I was mildly impressed with the results. It handled the tasked excellently without as much as a hiccup. All in all, it's no different than the internal hard drive of the Mac Mini.

Conclusion:
I was dreading the day of replacing my MyBook. It has been so reliable over the last couple years. However, this unit seems to be quite efficient in its quality and function. Add to the fact that it is as quite aesthetically pleasing as it is, you have an easy choice for an external hard drive. All in all, I'm going to give this item 5 stars. My previous external hard drive, Western Digital MyBook 500GB, whose performance was splendid. However, the Mac Mini had the hardest time recognizing the drive when plugged into the USB ports. So having the LaCie pop right up when plugged in was an added bonus.Get more detail about LaCie Hard Disk 1 TB FireWire 400/USB 2.0/eSATA External Hard Drive, Design by Neil Poulton 301315U.

Lowest Price HP 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD4GB-HPV100W-FS


Only so much can be said about a flash drive, I know, but this model in particular has served me well and sometimes everyone runs into a product where you think "okay, I'll always be comfortable with this" and can't think of any real reason to go elsewhere.

Small size, good capacity and a fair price in the 8GB form considering it's from a major brand. Though I know there's no particular logical reason to do this, but I've always been one to get accessories for things of the same brand as the parent device, being my HP PC in this case and I was glad to see a competitive price. Speed is what it can be with the limitations of USB, and it's happy to work between different devices and hold whatever data in whatever format. This is more than able to hold personal info and sensitive information along with digital valuables like pictures or video clips in a secure place like a home safe or deposit box. The only reason I give a 4/5 on ease of use is because of its frustrating cap which is a tad smaller than others, but if yours is primarily for mid to long-term storage and not continuous repeated daily use it shouldn't come up.

Certainly not unique in any way, but it doesn't need to be. Does what it needs to in just the way it should. Perfect.Get more detail about HP 4 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive P-FD4GB-HPV100W-FS.

I am a stickler for backing up files, this is my 6th external hard drive. After attaching the drive to my laptop, i was amazed at how quiet this drive is - I had to double check to see if the LED was on. no clicking, ticking, humming. amazing.

I wanted a fast and quiet drive. I am not disappointed. This drive is both of those for sure and it looks great too. I bought this drive to use on an I-Mac for the Time Machine backup. Talk about easy to configure. It comes with every interface connection you would want. (It also comes formatted for Mac but can be formatted for PC if you wish.)

A-DATA 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card 16GSDHC6 (Blue) Get it now!


This is being used in a Canon SD780 IS digital camera. The size of the card and the fact that it's a Class 6 makes this great to use not only in most current point and shoot cameras, but also will be perfect for those that will eventually upgrade to a large HD camera (HD needs Class 6 speeds in order to write video without dropouts)Get more detail about A-DATA 16 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card 16GSDHC6 (Blue).

Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DT100/8GB This instant


As a Mac user, I have more than once been frustrated by the slow speed with which Mac OS X writes to Windows formatted USB sticks. A family member of mine had a Windows formatted DataTraveler DT100/8GB stick which we used to transfer some photos from my Mac to her PC. I was amazed at the speed with which my Mac wrote to the stick. I did some research afterwards and found that the DT100 in particular has about a 40% higher write speed than most USB sticks in its class. I purchased one right away, and have been very pleased with it. It is fast, very high capacity, and its retracting USB connector makes it very convenient to carry around. When formatted for Mac OS X, it is without doubt the fastest memory stick I have. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Kingston DataTraveler 8 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive DT100/8GB.

Seagate FreeAgent Go 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive-Black ST903203FAA2E1-RK Top Quality


Before buying this drive I compared it with other portable drives and read all the reviews on Amazon and even PC Magazine which recommends it as one of its top products. So I thought I could not go wrong but unfortunately everything with this drive has gone wrong. For starters its not 320 gigs but 298 gigs instead which is not how Amazon advertises it. Every back up I have attempted has failed! I have followed the instructions by the letter and it still does not back up any of my files. Technical support is non existent, you have to first register before being allowed to get any type of assistance and then you must go thru these customer forums and post your problem or questions and then wait for and answer from another user?? The customer service number will have you on hold forever. At this point I am trying to return this drive back to SeagateGet more detail about Seagate FreeAgent Go 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive-Black ST903203FAA2E1-RK.
