Reviewed on June 30, 2009A sexy, slim design and backup software set make a compelling argument for the Seagate BlackArmor PS 110 external hard drive. We like the unique Try and Decide feature preloaded on the drive, and the throughput speed scores stomp the competition. Shoppers on a strict budget should look into the Fujitsu Handydrive for the best cost per gigabyte, but the BlackArmor PS 110 offers many extra features for just a few more dollars more.TAGS:Seagate Technology, FireWire, backup software, Iomega Corp., USB 2.0, Acronis, external hard drive, backup, USB, Apple Macintosh, Apple Mac OS, hard drive, CD, Microsoft Windows

Not everyone will appreciate the design, but we recommend the Iomega Radical Skin for those who need a rugged portable hard drive.TAGS:Iomega Corp., Roxio, backup software, backup, hard drive, USB, Microsoft Windows XP
