| Review summary | The Seagate FreeAgent Go is our favourite portable hard drive to date. The drive is well designed and fast, with a good transfer rate, and you won't find a better value for the price Read full review |
The Fujitsu HandyDrive isn't very small or exceptionally well designed, but it's fast and cheap. We recommend it to those who are running out of space on their system hard drives Read full review |
LaCie's Rugged All-Terrain portable hard drive is an all-round winner: it's fast, it's durable and it boasts multiple connection options. This belongs in your laptop bag Read full review |
Slightly expensive given its capacity, but the Buffalo LinkStation Pro has some great features that make it a worthwhile purchase Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
