With a focus more on use instead of additional features, the Fujitsu HandyDrive model fits the mold for an off-the-cuff user who simply wishes more cupboard space than an internal disk can hold. The Fujitsu HandyDrive should consider itself fortunate to attain fast baselines as it actually could not get by on looks alone. Fujitsu’s tasteless design and unlucky absence of color decisions just can’t compare with definitely fascinating HDDs on the market, like the Go beyond StoreJet 25f. Bizarrely enough, the HandyDrive closely seems like the Seagate FreeAgent Go in size and shape with its downturned curve toward the base. The device is the average size for an external drive, measuring 5.6 inches long, 3.2 inches wide, and 0.87 in.deep.
At the same time, we do not counsel purposely abusing it to check this speculation.
The Fujitsu HandyDrive transferred our 10GB info backwards and forwards virtually as fast as the Go beyond StoreJet 25F. The read times are nearly matching at 27.94MB / s for Fujitsu and 27.52 for Go beyond and the write times differ only by about 2MB, as you can see in the chart below. You are not going to note an extreme difference with such a little discrepancy between those 2, so that the final shopping call is a query of how much you put a value on Go beyond’s little stature and good looks. If you are not prepared to pay the additional four cents per gb., then you will be very happy with the basic Fujitsu HandyDrive.
