  • Sturdy and attractive; bundled with Retrospect Express; automatic power-saver mode; quiet; vertical stand; programmable shortcut button.
  • Heavy power adapter.
  • If you’re looking to step up to a half-terabyte of storage, consider the d2 Quadra Hard Drive 500GB. Its features, performance, superior software bundle, and attractive styling make it an outstanding all-around choice.

  • More expensive than standard USB hard drives Min specs: Mac with USB 2.0 or FireWire 400 interface
  • The d2 Quadra doesn’t provide any special features that can’t be found in a dozen other hard disks drives from rival manufacturers. However, it’s neatly designed and performs well, and you don’t have to pay too much extra for the a...

  • Plenty of connections, power saving features
  • Can be cumbersome to set up
