Design and Construction



This is one sleek drive as you can see by the specifications. It is reasonably light and yet has a very sturdy feel. It has a fan built into it at the top, above the ports. Its power button is right next to it, with the USB 2.0, HDMI, SCART, component video port, power input and a coaxial input.
The outer case is quite hard but is made of a material that attracts lot of dust. However, you need not worry about this getting scratched, as it is more likely to put a scratch on whatever you use it.



The navigation buttons on the front of the drive are a nice touch, along with a standby button and a switch to toggle between NTSC or PAL output. A blue activity LED on the upper left indicates when the drive is in use. The base of this unit is particularly interesting; the remote can be stored here as it clicks nicely into place. The drive comes preformatted in NTFS for quick use. The drive has a large capacity of 500GB on the Seagate ST350082 drive that it uses internally.

I have one of this , Perfect for a me & those who like to store tons of movies/pictures/songs in one location. Major advantage is it has a HDMI connection. The Asia version comes with a Indian power cord if not also converter is max 20-50 Rs...To get True HD performance use a HDMI cable. My max use is for MP3,WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (AVI/VOB), MPEG-4 (AVI/DiVX/XViD) and JPEG. Connectivity to TV - Component (yPbPr),Composite, SCART, SPDIF, HDMI... What else. All this at 9500 Rs. I found it really helpfull.
