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 (REAL NAME)

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 The never ending Story, 30 Oct 2009

By	Mr. Timothy Linford "TimLin" (TimLin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In the search for never ending disk storage:-

This is a sweet hard drive! I reformatted and partitioned it in less that half an hour, for use with my Mac. I cannot comment on the PC software that it came with to back-up with a PC. I have three partitions, 2 for different MacBooks time machine back-ups, and a third for libraries. The HD is nicely made, brushed steel looks great. The fact you can switch it off, is useful, it's good to give your HD a well earned rest!

Very happy with this device, excellent price as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars so far so good, 8 Nov 2009

By	phl8pg (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews

A nice, quiet,attractive drive which runs without getting hot. Read somewhere it uses less power than most other drives too. The on-off switch dead useful. The light dimmer is a nice touch if a bit gimmicky

Comes pre-formatted to FAT 32 which is good if you plan to plug it into a PS3 (create folders called PICTURE, MUSIC, VIDEO, GAME for the PS3 to recognise [and allow 'display all' on the PS3 to view whole file trees]) but you may want to convert to NTFS if you only plan to use on a PC, should take several hours to reformat. NTFS is more secure and can hold files over 4gb which FAT32 can't.

Well packaged and good delivery from Amazon.

Only had a few days, has been on permanently and not broken, so far so good.
