The Toshiba 500GB External Portable Hard Drive With digital media playing such an important role in the modern home, it's important to have a couple of backup devices handy to avoid the annoyance and potential replacement expense involved in losing data.
Additionally, games consoles and playback devices such as media streamers may not offer internal storage, or that provided may be insufficient, in which case you'll need a suitable way to improve the situation to get the most from your hardware.
Toshiba's new 500GB External Portable Hard Drive would be ideal for most of these uses. It's a palm-sized unit with a smooth black finish and coloured wave design, available in ‘Gecko Green', ‘Hot Rod Red', ‘Carbon Grey', ‘Electric Blue' and ‘Frost White', so it should fit in nicely with the rest of a home cinema setup in terms of aesthetics.
It feels a little more hollow than we'd expected, but is consequently pretty light and comes with shock protection to keep data safe in the event of it being knocked or dropped. In addition, two rubberised feet prevent the drive from slipping about on a surface and offer a bit more stability when it's spinning.
