Verbatim portable hard drive offers an easy and convenient solution for storage of data. I have recently purchased it and I am quite pleased with its performance.

For one thing, I like its size, its palm-sized and easy to take anywhere with you, and it is very stylish and durable too.

I would say it combines the best features of all hard drives. It comes along with the FireWire cable and a USB cable.

The USB cable can be used to obtain additional power as it is Y shaped. And due to the FireWire cable no external power supply is required.

The Verbatim offers quite a large space for storage, 320 GB is a huge space and you can easily use it to store your work information so that you don’t have to carry your laptop home.

However, there are a couple of things you will notice about it that might surprise you.

Firstly, the case looks like a metal case in the picture but when I bought it, it was actually a plastic silver case.

Secondly, the bottom of the drive heats up after one uses it for a few hours.

I would advise anyone using this drive that one should not use it for a long length of time. Otherwise it is perfect value for money.
