Having A Desktop And A Laptop With A Combined Size
Having a desktop and a laptop with a combined size of 60GBs, I found that because of the quantity of photos etc that my drives were becoming clogged up and both computers were slowing down, even though I have many discs these also took up space and of course took time to burn, then along came the Archos QDisk 160GB Portable Hard Drive, what a nifty little number weighing about the same as a bag of sugar and measuring 6x4x1 1/4" its ideal to pop into a bag and carry about, a nice looking piece of equipment too,and it holds about 2 million pictures or a couple of thousand music albums no installation neccesary on XP but comes with a disk for windows 98 just plug it in and XP recognises it instantly great idea instead of taking your machine apart and installing larger drives just take it with you,runs on USB2 but as mine is USB1 had no problems running it, I got mine and its great.
I used my Archos 160Gb for 2 back ups, when i went to use it again the internal USb socket had broken away from the soldered joint. Unfortunately it was outside the 1 year warranty period. This was repaired by Archos at a cost to me of around £50.00. I worry about a design fault here.
The drivers supplied by Archos for the q disk are difficult to install and Archos's site for these are not user friendly. The q disk is an older disk now but they have your money once you buy it so why bother with support. Good product, useless support.
