Samsung S1 Mini (120GB, Black)

By (cnet.com)

Classy design ; small footprint ; decent transfer speeds ; generous three-year warranty

Very expensive

The Samsung S1 Mini's high cost per gigabyte and slow throughput benchmarks overshadow its sexy design and small 1.8-inch footprint. We prefer the Transcend StoreJet, which offers more storage at a fraction of the cost.

The Samsung S1 Mini represents one of latest consumer external drives to use...

Samsung S1 Mini 1.8-inch hard drive

By Stuart Miles (pocket-lint.com)

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

Design, size, no need for power pack, speedy

Expensive per GB compared to 2.5-inch offerings

Good on performance and size, but let down against the slightly larger competition when it comes to affordability

Samsung S1 Mini 1.8in external hard drive

By Tony Smith (reghardware.co.uk)

Review We've just received what has to be one of the cutest little external...

Mac compatible, with an extra step

By mikehild (newegg.com)

It seems you can't simply open Disc Utility, select the drive, and reformat as HFS+ like using the normal procedure on the Erase tab. Instead, you have to go to the Partition tab and repartition it, making sure you click the Options button and change the...

High storage space, great price. Works fine with Macs

Requires different steps to format as HFS+ on a Mac, and the included documentation does not reflect this (found it on their support web site though)

Slow

By AlienWebguy (newegg.com)

Maybe I'm spoiled. My old drive which will remain brandless was 500gb, powered on when the computer did, powered off when the computer did, and was just as responsive as any of the other drives on my system. This story station caught my attention mainly b...

Cheap. Lots of storage

Slow. Must manually power on/off
