Samsung S2 Portable
$80.00
Released February, 2009
The Pros:Very quiet operation, barely detectable sound. Works plug-and-play with Mac, Windows, and other operating systems. Low power consumption, draws enough from almost all computers even if they aren't plugged in.
The Cons:Does not use standard SATA interface, meaning errors cannot be solved by changing enclosures. Windows often fails to provide an "eject disc" option.
