About this product
The Acomdata E5 is an external hybrid hard drive designed for both Mac and PC systems. Featuring a 160 GB storage capacity and a 7200 RPM rotation speed, it aims to offer a balance of traditional hard drive storage and solid-state drive characteristics. The device connects via a USB interface and comes in a silver finish. Its 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' feature suggests a performance boost for commonly accessed files, making it suitable for users needing reliable external storage.
Our take
I took a look at the Acomdata E5, an external hybrid drive offering 160 GB of storage. The 7200 RPM spin speed is a definite plus for an external drive, suggesting decent performance for file transfers. While the 'Hybrid (HDD/SSD)' feature is interesting, the 160 GB capacity is quite modest by today's standards, limiting its use for large multimedia collections. The USB interface is standard and ensures broad compatibility with both Mac and PC, which is convenient. For basic backups or transporting smaller sets of data, it could still be a viable option, especially considering the price point for a new, sealed unit.
