Samsung S1 Mini (120GB, Black)

Samsung S1 Mini 1.8-inch hard drive

By Stuart Miles

Do you need small storage that's big on the inside?

Samsung S1 Mini 1.8in external hard drive

By Tony Smith

The cutest 1.8in external HDD we've seen, and not a bad performer, but there are cheaper alternatives.

So many storage options, so little time... Samsung's S1 is unutterably cute and with 120GB of storage space on board, it's reasonably capacious for file swapping or backing up key files from a laptop or netbook. Of course, it's not an enormo file ...

Review We've just received what has to be one of the cutest little external hard drives we've ever seen: Samsung's new S1 Mini. Samsung's S1 Mini: not much larger than this pictureThe top of the S1 is all ultra-glossy black and smooth, but with a...

Finally then, the collection of external storage devices from Samsung! The Korean giant, which until now was content to sell its hard disk drives to other manufacturers, now has become the face of giants like Western Digital .

Samsung S1 Mini

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

While we wait for the memory plugs with giant spots, Samsung has come with a more affordable mini hard drive that may meet your needs here and now. We have tested .

Small, great design, lower cost, better performance and capacity than the memory plugs, applications for encryption and backup included ;

expensive per GB than the physically larger external hard drives, requires USB cable ;

Therefore, Samsung's new mini-hard drive especially interesting. This is kind of a cross between a regular external hard drive and memory plug, both concerning size and capacity
