Customer Reviews

GREAT Drive
HP HD5000S Personal Media Drive 500 GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
This is a great drive and even better if you happen to own an HP Media Center PC. It is very fast and enough room for storage to keep operating drive clean and working at its peak. The drive works either external on any pc with a USB port or in a personal media drive bay of the HP Media Center PC and it hot swappable. It is USB 2.0 but will work on 1.x. It comes with the NTFS file system so if you are using FAT you will have to reformat the drive.

HP Personal Media Drive
Excellent product. It is hot removable. My wife edits books on her desktop and can take all the images and files with her to meetings. It is nice not to have to mess with cables etc.

Easy!
This product was very easy to install. I just slid it in the slot on my Media Center PC and it went to work. No muss no fuss!
