There are literally thousands of choices out there when buying a pre-configured external hard drive. With many factors to account for, like warranty duration, price, looks, size or performance, the choice is hard.

Only 2 years warranty - retail Samsung HM321HI drive comes with three; No frills drive; USB connector on the side of device

Iam really happy with this hard drive. It does what we expect and the price is really attractive. The usb 3 is really fast compare to my old usb 2 drive. Iam not really keen on the color of the plastic but i'll deal with it.

Bought one of these a while ago to use for school. I keep it on my keychain so I pretty much take it anywhere.. and it is still alive. Very durable and reliable.

Currently the Verbatim Store'n'Go External SSD 32GB USB 3.0 unit is priced at £73.  As a comparison the USB stick product can be had for just under £30 (originally priced at £55).  The SSD unit will work with Windows XP and later or Mac OS X 10.1 systems.

We bought a Verbatim portable hard drive when our old hard drive broke. We spent two days transferring data onto it and on the third day the hard drive announced that it needed to be formatted before it can be used. All data gone!!!

Only 2 weeks after purchasing this product, and its already broken/ very sensitive. The extendable plug is very fragile, and mine has already been snapped into a sharp angle. Because of this, the device is often not recognizable by computers and needs to be held at a very specific angle to work.
