5 out of 5 stars Excellent Drive for the money   August 27, 2008
Small, easy to use and inexpensive -- what more could you ask for? Works great all the time. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the case scratches very easy.


5 out of 5 stars Excelente Producto   August 27, 2008
Las verdad que este producto lleno mis expectativas, es bastante durable, ya que tipico que este tipo de dispositivos se golpean por accidente. Lo unico malo es que se raya con facilidad.


5 out of 5 stars Great little Drive   August 27, 2008
If you are looking at this drive, look at all the good ratings and ignore the whiners that either don't know how to use the drive, or are expecting more than it was designed for. It's Small, it's compact, doesn't need a power cord and works with most computers equipped with a USB port. What more can you ask? My thinking is that if you buy this drive and are going to throw it around and mistreat it, or you want the speed of a an internal drive, than you aren't going to be happy. For anyone else looking for a nice USB drive, this one works great. I have to wonder if the people that whined about it being slow were plugged into a USB 1.0 or USB 1.0 Hub.


5 out of 5 stars Convenient and ecofriendly   August 26, 2008
I wasn't really looking for such a nice looking drive to stuff in my pocket. I wanted a fast energy efficient and durable drive on which to backup an iMac. That means 480Mb/s using USB2 because my iMac has no eSATA, FireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b), nor even Gigabit Ethernet port. I don't care to install a PCI card with such.

I looked at rugged drives and green drives that are faster, but I'm limited to 480 Mb/s (60MB/s) anyway. This is hot swappable and uses less than the 2.5W available via my USB 2.0 port (500mA at 5W).

This drive is very quiet (quieter than my iMac). The 1 ft cord provided is too short to seriously tangle. A finger on the drive can sense vibration, but it doesn't vibrate any table I've used.

My last backup external drive was accidentally pulled off a counter by the data cord. Now that I realize how absent minded I can be, the ease of putting this drive in a safe place is not merely a travel feature.



5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!   August 26, 2008
I love this product! It is so light and easy to use. I cant imagine having anything else. It's totally worth every penny.
