Of all the things I carry around, I d love to take my entire movie and music collection along. There are a lot of hard drive based audio/video players in the market but the maximum space they have is too little for whatever music/videos most of us have.

This is where high-capacity external hard drives come into picture. And today, we feature the monster of all external HDDs, the Seagate 750 GB External Hard Disk Drive.

The Drive

By the looks of it, the drive is pretty sturdy and solid (not that anyone intends to test by dropping it.) The grey-colored hard plastic shell, houses a Seagate ST3750640AS 3.5-inch hard drive. Yeah, the same one we reviewed a few months back.

This one promises mega-storage coupled with options for easy backups of important data as well; all at the push of a button. The casing features two FireWire (IEEE 1394a/ iLink) and a single Type 2 USB 2.0 interface.

It sports a single button on the front that is used for the one-touch backups. Of course, you have to install the BounceBack software as well.

It can either be laid flat on its side or made to stand upright by mounting on a plastic stand (bundled along.) Either ways, it looks neat.
