Rating: - Fast and very portable
Nice and small! Fast and doesn't need a separate plug and connection for power. Does both connection and power from the USB port. This brand is one of the top ones for external hard drives also from what I've read and hear from my techno geek friend. I only wish I had shopped around on price a bit more or waited a little longer, but such is technology. These are so hot these days it seems the price drops more every week.
Rating: - Simple and Fast
I have had this 160 Mb drive for about a month now. I have used it without any hitches on three laptops, a 3 year old HP, a 4 year old Dell, and a current Apple Macbook. It is fast, simple to operate and I would recommend to to anybody looking for a backup drive. One good thing about this drive is that it is powered off the USB port so it has no power cable and bulky adaptor to plug in. The Macbook accesses the drive easily and can read any of the info copied off the PC's onto the drive and visa versa.
My only complaint is that I wish they had other colours instead of black!
Rating: - Excelent but...
There are basically 2 reasons why I didn't give this product 5-Stars:
1. The surface is very easily scratched; even as new, the product was already scratched.
2. The product came with a 10cm (4 inches or so) USB cable which is pretty much pathetic. I had to purchase a decent cable afterwards. (Which is like $2 at the most).
Otherwise, this is an excellent HDD for this price and if you don't care about those two points, I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Good Product at great price!
After checking around, I found this to be a good product at a great price.
