Customer Rating: 
Summary: sweet little drive
Comment: Received this unit quickly, and conected it to the laptop even faster....up and running in no time. Lots of memory in a small package, and works well with all my Winxp machines, although my xp-64 computer ignores it. All in all, not a bad little portable hard drive.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Easy to use and carry
Comment: I got this USB HDD to backup photos and music. I have a 8.1 megapix camera and each photo is atleast 3 Mb (with full resolution set) and before I knew I had like 10gb of pictures. So I got this drive to store them. Also the form factor is convenient to carry and it does not require external power supply. Now I can carry all my music and photos with me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Worth it
Comment: Its fast, slim and stylish.The red is more of a deep shade of pink.But its only 149GB and not 160GB as advertised..
Customer Rating:
Summary: would be great if it didn't crash my computer
Comment: wonderfully compact yet high capacity drive, but it is consistently causing kernel panics on my PowerBook. I'm running OS X, and doing Time Machine backups. the drive worked great the first few months, but now it crashes the computer (kernel panic). Our IT person can't figure it out, so I'm getting rid of it and looking to try something else.
