Reviews of the Transcend StoreJet 25f (500GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: Fast transfer speeds, very inexpensive cost per gigabyte, compact, and stylish design.
The Bad: No FireWire support.
The Bottom Line: While other external hard drives offer built-in backup software, automatic data encryption, or rugged casing protection, the Transcend StoreJet 25F only promises, and delivers, the fastest data transfers at the lowest price. The missing FireWire prevents us from giving this Transcend an Editors' Choice award, but we still highly recommend this drive to storage hounds who don't mind USB 2.0.
