Seagate 750 GB External Hard Disk Drive

Seagate 750 GB External Hard Disk Drive

Sudeep Naik, Oct 02, 2006 1700 hrs IST

Let's glance at the monster of all external HDDs, the Seagate 750 GB External Hard Disk Drive.

Good build quality, 750 GB, FireWire, Good performance, One-touch backups.

Hard drive performance limited due to slow interface, No eSATA, Expensive.

Of all the things I carry around, I d love to take my entire movie and music collection along. There are a lot of hard drive based audio/video players in the market but the maximum space they have is too little for whatever music/videos most of us have.

This is where high-capacity external hard drives come into picture. And today, we feature the monster of all external HDDs, the Seagate 750 GB External Hard Disk Drive.


The Drive

By the looks of it, the drive is pretty sturdy and solid (not that anyone intends to test by dropping it.) The grey-colored hard plastic shell, houses a Seagate ST3750640AS 3.5-inch hard drive. Yeah, the same one we reviewed a few months back.

This one promises mega-storage coupled with options for easy backups of important data as well; all at the push of a button. The casing features two FireWire (IEEE 1394a/ iLink) and a single Type 2 USB 2.0 interface.



It sports a single button on the front that is used for the one-touch backups. Of course, you have to install the BounceBack software as well.



It can either be laid flat on its side or made to stand upright by mounting on a plastic stand (bundled along.) Either ways, it looks neat.

My foot ! This is affordable ! What if hard disk crashes all your precious data is gone or pay huge amount salvaging it. Instead I would recommend buy external HDD casing and put your HDD as per your need in smaller size. And copy your movies and music on dvd of the same. This way your save your data. You ***** !

Thas true. First its expensive. Second if it crashes entire data is lost. Instead get external casing, buy lesser capacity hdd and backup critical data on DVD's.

As per capacity it's good but the wires are a hell carrying around, the best option was to use USB cable only.The price too is quite high.
