Serious Storage


If you've got a need for serious storage, than this is the drive for you. Who can't get excited about 400 GB on tap to house even the largest MP3 collection? And with USB 2.0 and FireWire connectors, the info is easily accessible.
Seagate has always been in the forefront when it comes to drive capacity and one of their highest capacity 3.5-inch hard disk drives has made it into an external solution. The squarish external drive unit features both USB 2.0 and FireWire 400 (1394a) interfaces and comes with a single pushbutton in the front for instant backup. The silver-black design of the drive chassis has adequate ventilation areas on all sides, giving the drive plenty of room to cool itself. However, unlike some of their competitor's designs, the drive is built entirely out of sturdy plastics, which does not help much in terms of heat management although we don't see much of a problem given the size of the chassis.
