Test System

     For this review I'll be using ABIT's AA8 DuraMAX motherboard which is based on Intel's 925X Express chipset.

Testing

     To test the Seagate Pockte Hard Drive, I'll be using Hard Drive Tach and SiSoft Sandra. Here's how the testing went:

     The Seagate Pocket Hard Drive isn't the fastest miniature storage device in the world, but an average read speed of 6 MB/s isn't all that bad, especially when you're getting 5gb of storage space in a device that's isn't much bigger around than a soda can.

     For comparison, we matched it up against the fastest known flash drive, the 2gb OCZ Rally Drive. Unfair or not, it's up to us to show you what the difference is in speed.

Conclusion

     The Seagate Pocket Hard Drive is one of the most innovative products we've seen in a long time and this type of micro technology is going to change the world, or at least change the computer enthusiast's world! Though it is a little slow right now, it won't be long before 1 inch hard drives are blazing speeds equal to that of today's standard size laptop and desktop hard drives. Great work Seagate!
