This review is for BIPRA 2.5 320Gb Portable USB 2.0 hard drive

PROS:

Excellant delivery service from Sonnics. Ordered Tues Midday receiving dispatch message same day evening - product arrived Thursday.

Drive is plug and go as advertised, just have to wait a minute or two first time usage for onboard drivers to install - Windows operating system displays a message showing progress.

I chose this Harddrive because it is formatted to NTFS, as apposed to FAT32. As I understand it FAT32 restricts saving files which are more than 4GB, have also read that in general NTFS format is better for hard-drives whose storage capacity is over 100GB.

CONS:

This product came to me "recorded deliver", fortunately I was in at the time otherwise would have involved 6-mile round trip to the local sorting office - such distance (or greater) perhaps not being of convenience to some.

Although advertised as a 320GB drive, the reality...
