Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Samsung has developed solid, reliable data storage to store your precious memories up to 1.5 TB. The STORY Station safely downloads and protects your lifetime memories – video clips, photos, music files, and important data – that are so valuable and not easily replaced. Samsung STORY Station is the best storage solution to capture and preserve your life story.

Minimalism is the design concept of STORY Station. Every element – thefinely brushed metal finish, simple jog dial, and red-belted cable outlets –underscores the sleek and refined style. The sharp contrast of gray and red is eye-catching and the solid, simple cover creates timeless beauty.A simple but classical jog dial functions as a power switch and reflecting LED light, hidden on the bottom, softly displays power on/off status.

The STORY Station is built to store your valuable data safely and keep it backed up using the Samsung Auto Backup and SafetyKey features.Moreover, you can protect private and confidential files and folders in the virtual drive, SecretZone, with complete confidence.

Samsung’s environment-friendly product supports “Power Saving Mode,” which saves power by automatically going into standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. The STORY Station’s heat dissipating design – the ventilation and the aluminum cover – prevents heat buildup and keeps the drive inside cool

Simply plug it in and go. No CD is needed for installation. You can see at a glance how much space is available, used, or designated as backup storage.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Silent and above all cool, 22 Sep 2009
    By J. Yeow "darkspark88" - See all my reviews
    (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Samsung Story Station 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Electronics)
    Having owned and used a variety of external hard drives. I feel the Samsung Storystation is one of the better variety.

    The drive it well packaged and it seems that most if not all the packaging is easily recyclable. The drive is packaged in reinforced sturdy egg carton type cardboard that supports the drive very well during transit. A non-surprise but noticible difference to other external drives is that the cable connecting the drive to USB port is a mini-usb type. So that spare Usb printer cable won't fit here.

    The drive is mainly matte plastic housing for the face, back and bottom. The top and sides is a very attractive brushed aluminum secured by 2 screws on either side.

    What stands out about the unit is that the dial on the front is also a dimmer switch to control the light intensity (drive activity light) below the drive. A novelty, but nice to have.

    Onto performance. The drive is very snappy and responsive and copying off the drive and general tasks. Of particular note is that when transferring batches to files concurrently, there is not a massive slowdown as with my other two external hard drives. Both transfers are definitely slower than if I did them each separately, but quicker than If I had done the transfer on my other drives. Thumbs up here.

    Noise is of no concern. My philips drive is very noisy, making heavy disk transfer noises. The Samsung has been transferring around 400gb of data today, movies, pictures and music, and the only way to hear any disk activity is to have your ear up to the drive. So excellent for those who are thinking about storing music and keeping this drive next to desktop speakers.

    Heat is a non issue. Transferring 400gb with many transfers simultaneously has led to my Philips aluminium drive burning up, whilst the Samsung has only reached "hardly warm" despite being on the whole day with heavy transferring. The ventilation is helped by well placed vents in the plastic at the back and bottom of the drive. Something I wish my Philips enclosed Aluminum drive had.

    If you want a drive that doesn't get hot and truly is quiet, look no further. It's no slouch writing to the drive, just don't expect eSATA speeds. It's the best of the USB2 bunch of drives and styled better than the WD/Seagate and even my original Freecom Aluminium 500gb.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, functional and reliable - very highly recommended, 20 Nov 2009
    By K. L. Wren (Herefordshire, UK) - See all my reviews
    (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: Samsung Story Station 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Electronics)
    To keep my PC drive as uncluttered as possible, I use external USB drives to store all my working files and data which includes masses of photo and video files. I now have four Samsung Story 1.5TB drives - having purchased my first in September and been very satisfied with it, I bought a second in early November and have since ordered two more - they really are the best!

    The drive feels solid and well built, even stylish - if ever such a utilitarian component could be considered as such, with its sleek aluminium casing and white LED downlight with a rotating dial to increase or decrease the light intensity. I'm not sure why an external hard drives needs this feature but it sets it apart from its seven neighbours on my shelf. It's silent in use, doesn't become hot and is ventilated beneath. A downside, for me at least, is that it isn't designed to be used vertically so it has a large footprint but several can be stacked together to overcome this.

    The drive was recognised as soon as I connected it to my PC and performance has been good - just as I'd expect of Samsung and the included backup software works reliably and well.

    If you plan to format the drive into NTFS, remember to copy the included backup software folder onto your PC's hard drive first!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Story Station Alternative to WD Mybook ?, 2 Dec 2009
    This review is from: Samsung Story Station 1.5TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (Electronics)
    I was looking for a drive with additional storage that i can format to NTFS and just plug and play. I usually purchase the Western Digital Mybook range, but due to the new Mybooks having smartware installed and the added hassle of removing it. I decided to venture out and purchase an alternative drive.
    First impressions of the Samsung Story is that it looks better then the pictures shown above. It is has a solid build quality. The air vents are situated at the bottom which worried me a little as the original WD Mybook have a larger air vent circulation. However, on using it i found the drive stays cool even when transfering large amounts of data over 100gb (using usb connection supplied). The transfer rate is fairly quick and is comparable to the original Wd mybook drives. (I won't go into much detail on this as rates can be affected by your computer set up. However, I'm using a duel core processor with 2gb of ram on Windows 7.
    The sleep mode when not in use is a little slower then the WD Mybook range. It takes an additional 2 to 3 seconds to wake up when not in use.
    One of the cool features of the Samsung story is the ability to turn off the drive with a dial and also alter the indicator lights brightness level. Those with the Toshiba External HD will see the problem of the lights brightness level.
    In conclusion if you're looking for an alternative drive for additional storage or to back up your files. I would recommend the Samsung Story as a good alternative to the more expensive hard drives out there at the moment.
    (Note there is software on the hard drive which i did not test.)
