External 4GB USB Hard Drive

Strengths: Great storage on the go, no compatibility issues, good value, pop out usb port is very convenient

Weakness: feels a little cheap, hangs higher than table and I feel like I'm going to break off the usb port, but works fine. Would be nice to be password protected.

I didn't think I would use this product very much when I bought it. I originally purchased it to back up a small hard drive on an old ibm laptop, but I've ended up using it to replace all my other portable drives. It's large enough to store mp3s, videos, and documents. I keep music on it to listen at work and store documents that I need to keep private. Overall, I am impressed with the product. The size is excellent, easy to find in my bag but still small - I would recommended this product to anyone considering it.

SimpleTech 4GB USB Drive

Strengths: Small size, price

Weakness: Failure Rate

I purchased 2 of these at once when I saw them advertised for $19.95. Unfortunately, both failed within a week of each other. I am submitting an RMA today.
