    Quote from IT magazine CUSTOMPC:
    "We're not sure exactly what the XS's casing is made of, but we just couldn't stop stroking it. Its rubbery velvety feel was so wonderfully tactile that it made its way round most of the office before we could get it back to review it. The exterior also acts as a vibration-dampening layer in addition to providing grip, which is useful if the drive is connected to a laptop while travelling on a train, for example...Still, while an eSATA drive might make more sense for large file backups, we doubt that many will be as strokeable as the Freecom, and the comfort of hard disk-based Blofeld impressions has suddenly become an important criterion in our review process! Excess **** success”

Product Code: 31973 The Freecom Hard Drive XS is a compact and silent portable USB 2.0 hard drive offering good performance. The Freecom Hard Drive XS is available with a one-terabyte (1TB), 1.5TB or 2TB capacity. The rubber enclosure on the Freecom...
  • We like the Freecom Hard Drive XS. The only real letdown is the password-protection feature, which over multiple attempts failed to recognise the drive in order to complete the setup. As a backup solution or working hard drive, this unassumingly styli...

The rubber enclosure on the Freecom XS not only provides it with an attractive and tactile finish but also absorbs a large amount of the noise produced by the drive itself. The design also means it feels more portable than most desktop drives. Transfe...

Freecom appears to be taking a leap out of LaCie's book. Once known for cheap but plain looking storage products, Freecom has been bitten by the design bug. Freecom's XS: do hard drives really need clothing-style labels? Take the XS, claimed by its mak...
  • The XS is a decent enough 3.5in external drive. The rubbery skin is all for show - we wouldn't treat it as a ruggedised product and neither should you - but it's quiet and a reasonable performer. It doesn't come at a bad price. And Windows use...

Verdict: Freecoms XS is fast and affordable, but its rubber case gave us cause for concern. Freecoms Hard Drive XS is a 500GB external desktop hard disk thats not much bigger than a paperback. Its slenderness is due to its case, which is made of...
