Does the job [Posted on 2007-11-25] I've never had any major problems with this drive. I use it primarily to store music and so I play my libraries directly from the drive on different laptops. I never have delays when streaming music off, but when initially accessing the drive or hopping around inside folders there is always a slight response delay, hence the 3 stars. I've used other portable external drives with less downtime. The size and rubber edging is great- you can toss it around in a large bag without a second thought.
works well [Posted on 2008-02-05] A great lightweight portable hard drive. I'm using it on a Macbook and it works without any problems - no errors, no need to install any software, and no need to buy additional cables (usb Y cable, etc).
The cables are short, but I didn't find them to be too short, and the drive is not noisy at all.
Incorrect & misleading information [Posted on 2008-02-22] This item was (and still is) described in a previous review as including Firewire cables. It does NOT have such cables, & Amazon refused to accept it for return, leaving me with a product I cannot use. Customer service is non-existent. I will dispute this charge on my credit card.
No problems, process takes a while, read manual before starting [Posted on 2008-04-22] No problems. It does take a long time to back up though. I expected a quicker process, but it took a good 30 minutes. Maybe that's normal, I've never backed up a computer before. Be sure to read the manual too, it's not intuitive to figure out. I do like the spongy frame since we leave it in a drawer when not in use.
