I may be telling you something you already know, but size really does matter–especially when you’re talking about mobile computing. I just got my new Seagate Go 500GB portable external hard drive, which is replacing my five year old SimpleDrive 250GB.
I thought I was ordering it because I wanted something easier to carry with me, but when I sat down to transfer everything over from my other drive, I found that it was almost full–there was only 15GB of free space left.

I’ll be posting a full review as soon as the docking station and carry case arrive (they’re currently on backorder.
