I am thinking of buying this drive, aprently it has a western digital 80GB 7200rpm drive and looks good value for money.
It's usb 2.0, my computer at home has usb 2.0 and I will be using this at college to transfer my mp3's and photoshop work but I'm not sure if college computers have usb 1.1 or usb 2.0 (they have ports on the front though . I think it might be usb 2.0 but not sure, would it be awfuly slow to work with usb 1.1? I'd guess so but as long as it's ok to copy work from college then thats ok.
Someone who reviewed it over at ebuyer said it looks flimsy, I will be traveling 11 miles back n forth to college and it will be in my school bag so I don't think it will be a major problem, what are your views on the casing? The reason i'd like to buy it because it looks a bargin for an external hd, £66 inc VAT.
I need space for my normal comp anyway since thats only got a 30GB drive. I think it looks good but what do you think, would get a usb pen drive but there expensive I think and only go up to 512mb.
