How many times have you needed to transfer some files from your work PC to your home PC; or vice versa? You can email files if they aren’t too large, or you can burn a CD or DVD. Maybe you even have a flash drive. Well those are all great ways to move files so long as they aren’t very large. But if you have a need to move some really large files, or just large amounts of files, then you really need an external hard drive.

One such beast, and I do mean beast with its 400GB of storage, is the Seagate 400GB Pushbutton Backup external hard drive. It’s called Pushbutton as you can kick off a backup job simply by pressing the button on the face of the drive. The drive comes in both USB-only and a dual USB-Firewire version to meet your needs. With that kind of capacity and connectivity, this drive sure sounds like a winner. So keep reading as I find out if it has the performance to match.
