{mosgoogle}Adrian's Rojak Pot has just posted up a review of the Seagate 8GB Photo Hard Drive review. I have just one question. What the hell is a rojak pot?

The Seagate Photo Hard Drive looks just like any other CompactFlash card. But this CompactFlash card packs a miniature hard drive within its compact and robust case! What this means is a huge capacity of 8GB!

In addition, because it makes use of a 1" hard drive, you can buy it at a fraction of the cost of a flash-based CompactFlash card of the same capacity! It certainly offers a lot more value for your money. Of course, most people assume that since it's hard drive-based, it will be slower than its flash-based rivals. However, the new Seagate 8GB Photo Hard Drive punched clean holes in that assumption.

In our benchmarks, the 8GB Photo Hard Drive performed very well with large files. In fact, it outperformed even fast flash CompactFlash cards like the Kingston Elite Pro. Unfortunately, it faltered in small files. Even its 2MB buffer memory could not improve its performance with small files.
