Reviewed on June 30, 2009A 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.TAGS:Seagate Technology, FireWire, Iomega Corp., backup software, USB 2.0, Acronis, external hard drive, backup, Apple Macintosh, USB, Apple Mac OS, hard drive, CD, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on November 5, 2008The Iomega StorCenter ix2 is a two-drive NAS device that offers Bluetooth support but no remote access via the Web. We don't like the fact that you can't access its two hard drives, but it still holds appeal for novice users looking for a dead simple NAS drive.TAGS:NAS server, NAS, Iomega Corp., NTFS, external hard drive, Bluetooth, hard drive, server, backup
Reviewed on September 30, 2009The Hitachi SimpleTough is by far the most indestructible external hard drive we've tested, capable of surviving drops of up to 10 feet and up to one ton of pressure.

Reviewed on December 3, 2008We're impressed by the Lenovo ThinkPad USB Secure Hard Drive's burly security features and rigorous performance results, but the bloated price tag prevents us from recommending it to anyone other than business consumers.
