Bipra500Gb 500 GB 2.5 inch External Hard Drive Portable USB 2.0 - BLUE - FAT32

A very sleek, ridiculously small, perfectly formed bit of shiny blue drive that does exactly what I wanted it for.I've already got WD Passport Elite's and Samsung S2's. Toyed with the idea of getting the Toshiba 1 Tb usb drive but didn't. The Tosh is massive in comparison and expensive to boot. The Samsung S2 has overpriced itself.This drive is beautiful. I've a Galaxy S 11 and the drive is shorter by a tad (5mm ish) and just a weeny bit wider (5mm ish) again. You can feel but not really see the difference due to clever design. It's incredibly thin but doesn't feel flimsy at all; and has a nice solid feel to it. It came with a Y USB lead to boost power on those older laptops. I only need to use the one cable on my Samsung NC10. I've backed up a chunk of my music collection. 36GB transferred in less than 2 hours via my backup software. Not the fastest by any means but not the slowest either by far. It did the job and at a cost of less than a £1 a Gig is excellent value for money and knocks spots off it's competitors. I'm buying another; mmmm shiny red this time. They're unbelievably good vaue. Someone's going to cotton on soon and their prices will go up like both the Samsung and Tosh drives did.I'll keep this updated to monitor progress but from initial usage I'm impressed. A quietly efficient understated piece of kit. 640GB of bliss.

A very sleek, small & silent drive. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Perfect for backing up my PS3 data & works really well on my Windows 8 Laptop.This drive is really nice looking and quiet. It's thin & sturdy. Came equipped with a Y USB lead. I only need to use the one cable on my Samsung NC10. It took 2 hours to back 160Gb of data from my PS3 (upgrading drives, hence the backup). It's probably not the quickest of drives, but it's certainly no slouch either and a lot of people will find that this drive will adequately meet their needs and beat their expectations. 640Gb for £39.95 is something that is not to be sniffed at, in fact it's a bargain.I am really impressed with this drive. At first I thought it was going to perform poorly at this price, but it certainly has knocked me for 6. I may well buy another to hook up to my TV in the bedroom to watch movies on or listen to music. My only real complaint is the Y lead could of been a wee bit longer, but a longer one can be bought easily & cheaply enough. Seriously this is excellent value for money and the performance (as stated) has beat all my expectations. Happy bunny today.

I wanted this drive so I could back up my Windows 7/8 system image before an imminent hard disk failure took hold. I realised that only NTFS formatted drives can hold large system images and was a bit worried about reformatting a brand new drive, I needn't have worried. I looked online for instructions for reformatting drives to NTFS and after about 5 minutes it was all done. I was then able to do a complete backup of my Windows 7/8 Laptop and thankfully it worked. After only two days my laptop's hard drive failed and had to be replaced. Once I set up my new system files from the recovery disks I had with my laptop, I plugged in my external drive and away it went, easily restoring my previous files without a hitch and well worth the purchase. If I had known in advance I would have ordered the pre-formatted NTFS version of this drive but it really was very easy to reformat this drive. It's very compact and looks great, fits easily in a pocket should you want to do that and comes with a double ended USB 2.0 to USB 1 cable. The double ended cable is to supply additional power to the drive if necessary but I only needed one connected.

Received in good condition, nice packaging etc. Actual capacity is 596Gb on mine, I accept slight variations, but 44Gb short is a bit naughty to say the least. Still good value, but why market it as something it's not? Anyway.. reformatted in NTFS, and have now freed up my computer drives of more than a few movies! Over all very happy, good value despite the anomaly in the capacity. Would buy another one for sure. For the benefit of anyone who doesn't already know, assuming you are using Windows XP or later, you should format these drives in NTFS, otherwise the data you save will be limited to 4Gb per file.

I bought this to replace my dear - almost departed - Freecom drive of a similar size. So far so good! It has a blue light on it which lets you know it's on, and it also flashes when there is activity on the disk. This is a good one up from my old disk, as you could only tell if it was working by putting your hand on it and hoping to feel vibrations.The accompanying USB lead at almost 50cm is long enough to be handy and short enough not to be a pain when you have to pack it up.Overall, for the price I am very pleased.

bought the 320GB as i only wanted an external drive 2 put films on 4 my mate. easily fits in your pocket as its not much bigger than my htc (desire c) probably smallest of the htc brand. on the box, it says high-speed data transfer up 480Mbps, which i'm not sure is true. i put 25GB of films on it, it said it would take about 20 mins, i had a transfer speed of 24Mbps so it took less than 20 mins. the usb cable is a tidy size, not too long. i was hoping that it would work on my xbox to watch films rather than using memory sticks, but sadly it doesn't, other than that, it a tidy little external drive

Excellent has doubled my lap tops capacity

Easy to use just plug it in
