User Reviews for Sony Gigavault 40GB Port Hard Disk

  • Reviewed by: wolfgram

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Light,fast,portable,cool temp.NO ROTATE PARTS

    Weaknesses: Only formated in FAT32(for compatibility with other SO).I missed a NTFS format vertion.

    Overall Evaluation: Great discover for me,because you can have a cheap pc and with a USB2 connector can work very fast whit this periferical device.You dont overcharge your internal hard disk with the data.Is easy for install,just plug and play,is a dream for the practical people.
