This review is from : 250GB Ministation Turbo USB 2.0 5400 Rpm Portable HDD
Nice and quiet. It must be the FASTEST one in portable drive . I bought this drive for "Turbo" as well. It works great. It is a 5400RPM drive (transferred speed rate (without Turbo) is 20mb/s under Vista). When I turn on the "Turbo" mode. It is around 30 - 35MB/s. It is on par and better than those huge 7200RPM USB desktop external drive. Then I compare to my 1GB / 2GB / 8GB thumb drives then I realized those thumb drive transfer rate is around 1MB - 6MB/s. I didn't test with my 8GB HDSD (class 6)yet but I think this drive shall well deserve the "TRUBO" title. I am very satisfied with the result and drive. This is the drive traveled with me with EEE PC 904HA (for movies :-)).

Cons Review
If this is turbo I'd hate to see what they call "slow" . I looked at the RPM on this and the "turbo" description and decided to pay the extra $25 or $30 over the Passport for this drive. What a mistake. Klutzy loading and unloading software has to be run to make this thing go into turbo mode, and even then it's way slower than the Passport that I have. On other sites I saw it rated only one star. Apparently it's a little faster only when working with huge files. My audio books and MP3 music are all little tiny things. Takes hours to fill.
I'm using it as a storage drive, rather than current backups, so at least I don't have to deal with it very often.
