Then there is the sheer fact that it's slower than having a physical drive connected to your notebook. While you can connect up to two dongles to the drive you can only connect one at a time. And before you think about the possibility of buying a dongle for each and every one of your computers, don't. While the drive is faster than saving it out to a NAS drive on your network, only you can see that information meaning you won't be able to share it with anyone else unless they've got the dongle plugged in. Compare this to a NAS drive over a wireless g connection and its considerably faster (it took us almost 5 minutes to transfer the same file to a Time Capsule connected to our Wireless router). Put that in to real terms and that means that you'll be able to transfer a 2GB file to the hard drive in just over 2 minutes. Just like virtually every other hard drive on the market the design is boxy and boring. It features a directional aerial to help you with that signal if you need it, a USB 2.0 cable socket for a hard line connection and a power socket. The back is equally plain (it is a hard drive after all). Beneath this there is a light that lets you see quickly how much space you've used via four bars (1 for 30%, 2 for 60%, 3 for 90% and 4 for 95%). The front sports a white panel, power switch that pulses like the Apple MacBook notebooks and an instant backup button to let you do just that. It's big, it's black and white, and comes with a chrome stand that pops-out when needed. The drive itself is simple in its design.

(Pocket-lint) - The Imation Pro WX is a wireless USB drive hard that allows you to backup your data to a 1.5TB drive wirelessly and therefore leave your desk a little less cluttered. Big and noisy, the drive has a 25 foot range and connects to your laptop as a one-to-one connection rather than over your regular wireless network.
