Maxtor BlackArmor Portable Hard Drive

For those who wanted more space for personal files, music and videos, here’s another external hard drive to watch out for. It’s Maxtor BlackArmor, which incorporates Seagate’s hard drive. What I like about this external hard drive is that it has a backup software, in order for users to trust their hard drive in keeping valued files. Not only does a user entrust its files but surely the hard drive repays the trust by properly creating a backup of the files that is added on it. This feature of the Maxtor BlackArmor gives an edge over other external hard drive available on the market today.

The Maxtor BlackArmor also provides users with an encryption, wherein they have the option whether to allow password or not. Now, that’s not only keeping data but protecting it from undesired use. The design itself is elegant and provides users with 5400 rpm bus rate. The capacity is up to 320 GB, as of now.

My New External Hard Drive

What you see right here is my new external hard drive. It’s very different from what I have really wished for, but, I am really happy having this, because it was a gift from my parents for my birthday (weee!). Before, I have posted here that I was wishing to buy a Western Digital MyBook Essential or Western Digital Home Edition with a capacity of 320 GB. However, due to an insufficient source, I wasn’t able to get one! Insufficient since I was not really entertained well by the seller, I won’t tell the whole story, but one thing is for sure, I was really disappointed. Oh well, no bothers, since I have what I have really wished for, and that’s an external hard drive.

This external hard drive has a 320 GB Seagate Barracuda, and an HD Enclosure. It only cost Php 3,800. And now, I’m enjoying saving a lot of files, especially movies, and music on my external hard drive.

Western Digital External Hard Drives

For a couple of days now, I have been looking for good quality hard drives, that comes in a cheap price (reasonable cheap price that is). I have planning to buy an external hard drive for almost a year now, but I haven't bought one because I haven't got enough money! So, I asked my mama if she can give me one, as a birthday gift. And luckily, she agreed! Yes! I can finally have my own external hard drive.

So, to have an idea on what to buy, I have searched through the world wide web, looking for best quality hard drives. I have visited a lot of online markets, namely tipidpc.com, pcbodega.com and davaosale.com. Finally, I have decided what to buy. Actually, I have decided on the brand, but haven't decided on what model. It's Western Digital's My Book Essential Edition 320 GB, or My Book Home Edition 320 GB. They have different prices, and a little difference in their specifications.

Why have I chosen this? Let's see:

• It's quite cheap (3950 for the Essential Edition and 4850 for the Home Edition)
• It has a shock proof enclosure
• Nice black color
• Compatible with Windows and Mac
• Easy to use (according to users)
• A nice design
• The My Book Home Edition has FireWire, perfect for Macintosh
• The My Book Home Edition has an indicator of how much of the hard drive is used
• The My Book Home Edition has an automatic back-up
• It turns on and off with the PC
• Portable
• And.. It is recommended by users

So, if you are also looking for an external hard drive, I recommend the brand Western Digital, and My Book Essential and My Book Home Editions, for basic use of storage.

If you click here, you can see there's a lot more models you can choose from. And.. they have 1TB and 2TB capacities! You can also go to the online markets I have mentioned (preferably for Filipino buyers).
