"USB 3.0-Based 2.5" Hard Disks From Adata, Hitachi, And WD"


Hi,

USB 3.0-Based 2.5" Hard Disks From Adata, Hitachi, And WD
is a good tom's hardware article;
Quote:
USB 3.0 allows external hard drives to realize their performance potential. Each of the three external USB 3.0-based 2.5” disks we're reviewing also excels in some other discipline. We study these specialties up close: speed, capacity, and durability.
For hardware junkies or wanna-be's, you will find some very useful information that will help you to decide which drive suits your needs.

Oh, yeah, thanks man. I'm trying to curb my spending and you go and point me at a comparison of just the types of device I'm putting off buying.

Hi,

Yes, it is good to be informed. Thanks for posting it even if it does cause me self-control issues.
