For this purpose, I have been using the portable hard drive I brought from over form Malaysia, all this while. At one time, 20 GBs of space was considered an enormous storage space, however, with all the photographs, movies as well as my research work, I discovered that 20Gbs doesn't amount to much now-a-days. My wife was looking for a new portable hard drive to replace her old one as well.
So we set off to search the web for a good one. We had a few criteria in mind:
- Shock proof
- small profile
- Fast data transfer and
- of course, reasonably priced.
To cut a long story short, we finally decided on the Buffalo 160GB MiniStation, TurboUSB Portable Hard Drive. Surveying various online stores on the net, we found that the best deals were on the Misco site. We got two drives for £39.99 each. We had to pay a total of £98.66 inclusive of VAT and delivery charges for the two.
Small outside but bigger inside.

Portable hard drives are great, I keep music and movies on my computer and then once, of course, there was a computer crash and all my files were gone. So from then I have one external hard drive. It’s 80 GB not much but it helps to save files
My friend recently bought a portable hard drive MaxFactor 250GB for RM270 and got a free flash drive, at u guess where, Low Yatt. Damn cheap hah!
I need to get one for myself as well.
That's quite cheap.
There are cheaper portables disks here as well but I wanted something branded (with long warranty) and shock proof as well.
Hi, just stumbled in while looking for info on portable hard drive.
Tough lesson learned when my hard drive just went kaput and my PC just refuse to boot. Couldn't even recover the files I backed up in my backup partition.
