| Bottom line | The LifeStudio Mobile Plus is a good external storage solution that makes it easy to find what you need, when you need it, among your "digital mess." However, its lack of USB 3.0 support and the limited functionality of the LifeStudio and Backup software might make you want to keep looking. | Seagate Backup Plus carries the flexibility of the GoFlex portable drive while adding performance and style to portable storage. The new drive makes an excellent buy. | The WD My Passport Portable makes an excellent portable drive for use with both desktop and laptop computers, at home or while on the road. | The Hitachi Touro Mobile Pro portable drive is a fast and simple mobile storage option for those who want to carry around extra data. | Even with the slightly low USB 3.0 performance, the GoFlex Ultra still makes an excellent portable external hard drive for people who need to expand their computer's storage. |
