Bytecc BackupStar ME-808 USB External HDD Review

With the unit fired up and plugged into a USB 1.1 or 2.0 slot, Windows
2000/XP automatically recognizes it as an external storage device, and mounts
the volume(s) instantly. Sequential reads of the blank Seagate 120GB HDD were
measured at 33MB/s, and sequential writes were measured at 32MB/s using Sisoft
Sandra 2005. This value is still relative, as USB performance can be affected
by the strength of the CPU. I can comment that with transfer rates like this,
you won’t be up all night waiting for the BackupStar to transfer large files
back and fourth.
