Freecom 160GB XXS Mobile Drive
Reviewed by IAN. Review Posted 20/08/2008

If you're looking for something with acres of space and blistering performance then this is not the drive you want BUT if you're looking for something with decent performance at a good price and need the ultimate in portability then I would recommend this drive. It's slim, lightweight, fits in a shirt pocket, and being powered off the USB port it's ideal for mass storage in the field - perfect for backing up the digital camera on holiday and keeping MP3's and films to hand when away from home.

good but...
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 03/03/2009

A good option for storing a lot of data, and easy to install and operate. But with hindsight I would willingly pay ten pounds more for one with a light indicator to show when the disk is active. As it is, receiving permission to remove the USB device can simply abort the save before it is finished.
