A very fast hard disk with a lot of storage for a low price and the bundled software is excellent, too
The Seagate GoFlex Satellite is a nicely designed portable NAS for tablet and smartphone owners
Massive storage for such a compact disk and above average performance, but isn’t worth the significantly higher cost over a smaller drive
One of, if not the thinnest external hard disk currently available, but you have to pay a lot for it.
One of the best workarounds we’ve seen in a 3TB disk, but the price leaves a lot to be desired.
Lots of storage at a low price, but make sure you can live with its limitations before you buy.
A good little media player, with full support of Blu-ray menus from ripped ISOs, but it needs a few tweaks to beat the competition.
The Momentus XT works surprisingly well, but its performance benefits will only apply in certain circumstances and it's expensive too.
The 2TB FreeAgent GoFlex Desk is fast and has lots of storage. It can be easily and cheaply upgraded to USB3 too.
The Barracuda LP's high price and disappointing performance means we can't recommend it.
