Western Digital 750 GB My Book Studio Edition USB 2.0 Esata FW400 FW800 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have no complaints about this drive thus far. It worked just like it was supposed to right out of the box. The Firewire 800 transfer speeds are excellent. I like the automatic sleep feature as well. *Leopard users make sure to upgrade the firmware to the newest version to get the most compatibility out of this drive.

My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - Hard drive - 1 TB - external - Hi-Speed USB - buffer: 16 MB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Paired with Apple's Time Machine backup software (which is part of the current OS X.5 operating system), backup are a breeze!I bought this to use with my MacBook which lives in the living room most of the time but does move around.When I want to run a backup, I just plug in the USB cable from the hard drive to my Mac and the rest is automatic.If you would be using this with a desktop model, you could leave it connected all the time. I just hook it up every few days and it backs up everything that's changed on my computer.(Also, part of the great thing about Time Machine is that it keeps more than just the most recent backup.It keeps all the past backups as well until you start running out of space.)

Also, this drive is whisper quiet which is great since I keep it in the living room.Don't notice it at all!

G-Tech G-DRIVE COMBO - Hard drive - 500 GB - external - FireWire / Hi-Speed USB - 7200 rpm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this drive for a month, it's been perfect.It replaces a WD "My Book" drive of the same size.I'm sorry to say that I've had two of the WDs fail at 13 months (the warranty on them is 12 months).I'm hoping for many more years of good use from the G-Tech.Using the FireWire 400 interface it's slightly faster than the My Books were with the USB 2.0 interface.

The aluminum case and the overall design of the G-Tech certainly gives one confidence, mechanically the drive case is extremely well constructed.

If I have one negative on the G-Tech drive it's the white LED on the front, which is always on whether the drive's being accessed or not.When the drive is being accessed the LED flashes brighter.If it's in your line of sight it's like having a flashlight pointed your way, especially if the room is dark.I suppose this is just one of the many good uses for duck tape.

QNAP TS-210 2-Bay Desktop Network Attached Storage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have tried a few of these boxes, and settled for QNAP. To make long story short, this box has very low operating and standby power (not counting drive power), it is quiet with smart fan (3 speeds auto/manual adjusted based on drive or system temp), transfer speed for >4GB files from my Dell XPS thru gigabit switching hub is around 10MByte/s write, 25MB/s read. USB drive plugs directly into the box, write/read is about 12MB/s (not fully tested)

I use this to stream 1080p and other media to my Brite-View BV-5005HD streamer box Brite-View BV-5005HD "CinemaTube" 3-in-1 1080p Full HD Multimedia Player/Streamer/Torrent Downloader, Black, cpu loading is only around 10-13% during super smooth playback. Box is not heating up much, keeping at 40 some Deg C. Even if the box is 100% running file transfer, media streaming seems to take precedence over file operations.

Its BT/ftp download manager is a snap to use and performance is comparable to PC utorrent.

The most obvious difference is the speed of its web user interface, it is super fast when compared with other brands, it is also independent of it cpu loads.

SSH is easily accessed using clients such as putty. Neat little Linux box.

The only down side are being its bright LEDs in front, must be covered if you are watching movies with lights out.

Enjoy, this box will not quit on you!
