S2 has looks and performance to match

Like an annoying electronic speed limiter, this greatly hindered the S2’s performance, leaving its potential unfulfilled.

Samsung, while relatively new to the portable hard disk scene, has an inspired product in the S2.

It has the looks and the performance to match, and to sweeten the deal, Samsung has bundled with it an auto backup software as well as SecretZone & SafetyKey, a virtual drive function that ensures that your data is secure.

Unfortunately, like Apple who expect their customer to pay a premium for their sexy yet functional products, Samsung too expects you to pay more for the S2.

In the end, we are not sure if the S2’s sleek looks are enough to justify such a premium.

Samsung’s S2 Portable now has an increased capacity of 500 GB and its improved data recording technology makes it the perfect solution for the increasing number of consumers who are building their personal movie collections on their PCs.

In addition to the pre-loaded ‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’, the Samsung S2 Portable boasts USB On Board Technology and supports various user-friendly features such as Samsung Auto Backup that enables real-time or scheduled backup and SecretZone that encrypts and stores data on a virtual drive as well as SafetyKey, a powerful data-security function that offers dual data protection through a password.
