Samsung S2 Portable

The Samsung S2 Portable hard drive is almost identical to the company's S1 Mini that we reviewed in 2009, except that the S2 Portable is slightly larger because of the 2.5-inch hard drive spinning inside. With capacities reaching 640GB ($120) and being available in a variety of bright colors, the Samsung S2 Portable not only looks good, but it also has a low per-gigabyte price--a combination we like well enough to recommend. Design and features The S2 Portable chassis is the same rectangular shape as the S1 Mini, but at 4 inches long by 3 inches wide by and than 1 inch thick, the S2 is a bit larger than the S1 is. The S2's weight varies slightly depending on its capacity, but most people won't have a problem with its size--especially if the drive winds up in a carry-on bag or a laptop case. The S2 Portable is available in six colors that are not only visually pleasing but also help to distinguish the drive from the sea of external-storage solutions floating around the office. Each color wraps around the front and sides of the device and a circular lattice pattern embellishes its top with speckles of glitter that accent its features. Similar to the grip on the Transcend StoreJet 25f, the back of the S2 Portable is covered with a slightly sticky plastic that prevents the drive from slipping on smooth surfaces.

Product Survey: External Hard Drives

We've got nothing to say about its looks, which are very easy on the eye. Better still, it's small enough to slide easily into a pocket and it won't take up too much room on your desk. It only has the bare minimum of connections, with a single USB port: we would have preferred eSATA or FireWire 400. A second USB cable is included to power the hard drive. The main physical problem is the lack of any kind of non-slip surface on the bottom of the case. These can prove very useful for lightweight drives that are easily knocked off the edge of a desk. When we tested it out, we found the Samsung S2 Portable wasn't quite there when it came to writing data. On average, it peaked at an average write speed of 23.9 MB/s; the best drives reach 27.8 MB/s in the same conditions. Things picked up when reading data pack from the S2 Portable, though, which could almost rival the best of the bunch. Its maximum read speed was 32.2 MB/s, compared to the 33.4 Mb/s achieved by the Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini.
