Reviewed on February 20, 2009While other external hard drives offer built-in backup software, automatic data encryption, or rugged casing protection, the Transcend StoreJet 25F only promises, and delivers, the fastest data transfers at the lowest price. The missing FireWire prevents us from giving this Transcend an Editors' Choice award, but we still highly recommend this drive to storage hounds who don't mind USB 2.0.TAGS:gigabyte, megabyte, Seagate FreeAgent, external hard drive, Lenovo, ThinkPad, Seagate Technology, hard drive, Microsoft Windows

Reviewed on July 1, 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, backup software, Iomega Corp., FireWire, USB 2.0, Acronis, external hard drive, backup, Apple Mac OS, USB, Apple Macintosh, hard drive, CD, Microsoft Windows
