7. OWC Mercury On-The-Go (500GB)
Editors' rating: 7.8
The good: Large capacity, USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800 support; bus powered; valuable bundled backup software; all data cables included.
The bad: A bit bulkier and heavier than competing compact external hard drives. Power switch is hard to reach.
The bottom line: It's big, and it's fast. The OWC Mercury On-The-Go offers fast throughput via USB 2.0, FireWire 400, and FireWire 800, and it's the biggest compact hard drive, at 500GB, you can get right now.
