Samsung G2

The G2 Portable, along with the recently reviewed S2, is the latest series to enter Samsung's family of 2.5-inch external hard drives. Samsung offers both the G2 and S2 drives in capacities up to 640GB, but only the G2 carries the EcoTriangle label to indicate low power consumption and minimal noise emission. The 500GB black version ($89) Samsung sent us for testing blasted through our throughput tests with high marks in both read and write scores, while fashionistas and designers alike will appreciate its glittered chassis. Coupled with an affordable cost per gigabyte, the Samsung G2 Portable hard drive earns our recommendation for anyone in need of a basic external hard drive. The G2 is slightly thinner than the S2 Portable at 3 inches wide, 4 inches long, and less than an inch thick, although both fit easily into a jacket pocket. The weight of the device varies slightly according to capacity, but most travelers won't have a problem with its size, especially if the drive winds up in a carry-on bag or a laptop case in transit. The G2 Portable is available in four bright colors (cobalt black, silver white, olive green, and cobalt blue) that are not only visually pleasing but also help to distinguish your drive from the sea of external storage solutions floating around the office.

Product Survey: External Hard Drives

On the outside, the design is reasonably attractive, with a good quality plastic finish. The surface is covered with an unusual texture that feels like scales to the touch, which is useful as it stops the drive sliding off a table too easily. A small LED lets you know when it's plugged in and flashes when data is being transferred. It comes in four different colours: cobalt blue, olive green, white and black. On the inside, there's a Samsung Spinpoint M7 disc which turns at 5400 rpm, with an 8 MB cache and a SATA-II interface. The G2 is incredibly quiet and doesn't get very warm, two excellent features on a portable device like this. You connect the G2 to your computer or any other device using a USB 2.0 cable, and the speeds on offer are excellent, easily managing to reach the maximum supported by our USB 2.0 interface when reading large files, topping out at 33.1 MB/s. Writing wasn't too far off the maximum speed either at 26.1 MB/s. Of course, the speeds are smaller when you're working with smaller files, but the G2 is still performs well compared to the competition. It's still a good way beyond the best of today's drives, especially the LaCie Rugged eSATA which soars ahead thanks to its use of an eSATA connection.
