To mark the occasion, the manufacturer has opted for a gold-coloured glossy plastic frame. Apart from the colour, this model is an exact copy of the one we've already tested, which is available in a range of bright shades. We might as well tell you straight away that we weren't exactly won over by the quality of the hardware. It doesn't seem likely that it will resist a tumble, and the only connectivity is a simple USB 2.0 port. We thought that Verbatim might have gone for something more impassive for this special edition, with, for instance eSATA or FireWire 400. There's only a single USB cable, but most manufacturers offer two. As a general rule, one is enough, but some laptops need two to work with an external hard drive: one for copying data and one to power the drive. This model really is a carbon copy of the versions available in other colours. The speed tests produced very similar results, with the main weakness being write speeds. To copy 1 GB of data onto this hard drive, you'll need to wait around 44 seconds, compared to the 32 seconds it'll take to read them back.
