Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SmartDisk USBFLB80 FireLite 80 GB 2.5-Inch USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive
Customer Review: SmartDisk - you rock my world
Summary: 5 Stars
(Footnote - I recommend the FireWire Firelite over the USB one, simply because of better performance - however, all of their drives seem great)
As a filmmaker, I depend heavily upon Final Cut Pro and editing footage
I beat the heck outta my external drives ---- I store all of my film footage upon them, digitized, and then edit them to death ----- so my drives go through tremendous abuse
My interest in FireLite's were sparked because I liked the small size, that enabled me to edit my footage over my laptop, but then plug the drive into my faster desktop, for better editing ----- but I could keep the footage and files together, in one drive
This FireLite disk has been incredible -
1. SPEED --- Don't believe the SPEED hype ---- this drive was VERY VERY fast --- while 7200 RPM is preferable, I really didn't see much of a speed difference, and I'm working with footage that needs some heavy rendering
*if you need a drive with great speed though, then get the FireWire 800 FireLite - which I most recommend
2. DURABILITY --- This drive is TOUGH ---- I have thrown it in my backpack and allowed it to feel the greatest depths of abuse ----- it has never broke down on me, no matter how many times I've dropped it or punched it (accidently)
3. SIZE ---- of course, this drive weighs NOTHING --- you'll find it amazing that you can keep so much film footage in something that weighs less than an common iPod
4. BATTERY ---- I don't know about windoze, but on a Mac, this thing needs no external AC plug ins --- its powered off of the laptop bus - less wires make editing more fun!
5. PERFORMANCE ---- and of course, the performance of this baby is simply terrific ---- I'm happy to do all of my Final Cut Pro editing upon it
That's about it ---- I'm surprised that I haven't seen more people with SmartDisks, but I think that's gonna change soon
It's a terrific product ---- and for people who really need speed, get the FireLite (which is the same small size) with FireWire 800 --- the speed difference will help greatly for editing
Happy editing! Happy buying!
