Check prices$126.66-$246.92Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Pro (500GB)
Reviewed on May 5, 2010 Though other external hard drives offer a preset menu of ports, the Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex cuts costs by letting you pick from a buffet of "personality cables" so that you buy only the connections that suit your system profile. We applaud Seagate for making data backups easier than ever, and recommend the FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive for extra data storage now and easy upgrades in the future. -

Check prices$189.95Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station
Reviewed on March 4, 2010 The Iomega iConnect Wireless Data Station is a great device to quickly turn your USB external hard drives into a robust network storage solution. Its compact design and ease of use more than make up for its average throughput performance, which is fast enough for most casual file sharing and backup needs. -
Check prices$159.95-$244.68Seagate BlackArmor PS 110
Reviewed on June 30, 2009 A sexy, slim design and backup software set make a compelling argument for the Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 external hard drive. We like the unique Try and Decide feature preloaded on the drive, and the throughput speed scores stomp the competition. Shoppers on a strict budget should look into the Fujitsu Handydrive for the best cost per gigabyte, but the BlackArmor PS 110 offers many extra features for just a few more dollars more. -
Check prices$211.01Verbatim Acclaim USB Portable Hard Drive (1TB)
Reviewed on August 2, 2010 The 1TB Verbatim Acclaim portable hard drive may appear boring compared with flashier drives, but its sleek size, rapid transfer speeds, and generous seven-year warranty more than make up for its lack of fashion sense. The Acclaim's executive look will likely attract corporate professionals, but we highly recommend its versatility to anyone in need of a storage upgrade. -

Check prices$129.99-$329.77Western Digital MyBook Premium Edition 500GB External Hard Drive
Reviewed on June 15, 2006 If write speed isn't a top priority, the Western Digital MyBook is a good deal at around $300 for a 500GB drive. It'll look good on your desk or bookshelf, too. -

Check prices$123.46Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive
Reviewed on July 7, 2008 The Toshiba USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive is an attractive, lightweight drive with a decent price point for a drive of this capacity. Its size makes it great for travel, but the write speeds aren't up to par with other drives we've seen. We can't recommend it due to its lack of performance. -

Check prices$146.13Samsung G2 (500GB, black)
Reviewed on May 14, 2010 With its embossed cover and rainbow of colorful designs, the Samsung G2 Portable hard drive is a consumer-focused external hard drive that offers the most basic plug-and-play storage functionality. You don't get many extras, but impressive benchmark scores, a competitive cost-per-gigabyte, and a generous three-year warranty demonstrate its core competency and earn this drive our CNET recommendation. -
Check prices$271.58Hitachi SimpleTough external hard drive (USB 2.0, 500GB)

Check prices$203.14Western Digital My Passport Studio (500GB, winter 2010)
