Product Review: Western Digital 120GB FireWire/USB 2.0 Combo Hard Drive
Storage is cheap, but it’s also not something you take lightly. We’ve gotten many RealTechNews user reports on Maxtor hard drive failures, and as more and more people move their photos, music and video into digital formats, I know that I was looking for something fast, as well as incredibly reliable.
What I wasn’t expecting, was getting something cool, in a nerdy wannabe-modder way that is. The WD 120GB FireWire/USB Combo drive comes in a clear plastic case with two glowing rope lights or neon tubes on either side. The case is not very attractive, but it certainly is not a dull looking drive to have around.
The best news was the 480 Mbps transfer speed. I backed up my photo library in less time than it took for me to fire up TiVo and see what was playing. My entire 500 CD music collection was resting happily in it’s new back up home in around 20 minutes. Read the Complete Review Here
