    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product - Read if you are worried about the sync software, 5 Feb 2009
    By F. Hatch (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I bought this external drive only a few days ago after reading the good reviews and I was worried about a few things, firstly about the sync software and secondly about the low transfer rate, thirdly about the power required to run the drive.

    Let me start off by saying it is a wonderful product and that you should not worry about any of the above. I use the drive to store files that are important such as documents, pictures, films, music and TV series.

    Firstly about the sync software, I do not like most software that comes with items like this. It is made for people that just want an "easier" method of transfering files, and creating a better backup of your computer files. But if you are fine with transfering your own files, you know how to create folders, and just use the drive for storing files rather than create a backup to boot from, then just ignore the sync software. You do NOT need to use it for just file storage use, after you tell it to not ask you to run the setup.exe, it no longer will. I was undecided as to whether i would ever require it so i just placed it all in a new folder on the drive in case.

    Secondly the transfer rate i found with just moving files onto the drive was great, and not slow as some reviewers said. I cannot give exact speeds, but for about 30GB of data it took about 15-20 minutes or less. I have no had any problems with it on vista, everything was recognised and i just treat it as another drive.

    Thirdly I have had no problems with running it from my desktop computer or from my laptop.

    On another point, i do not find that it scratches much, it has a four base pads protecting it from the desk, but i find it to be sturdy and easy to just wipe clean with something dry.

    If you want an all round good drive, then I would recommend this drive depending on the amount you want to store. Its a great buy.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tiny, lightweight and very useful, 3 Jun 2008
    By D. Cole (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I've been using this product for a couple of months now with my laptop. It's obviously designed with portability in mind - it's tiny and so light that I'm surprised I haven't lost it! I carry it around loose in my laptop bag and it seems strong enough too.
    Plenty of space to fit all your stuff on - I in fact mainly use mine for storing games and tv recordings on (they take up a lot of space on laptops HDD) and it does the job perfectly.
    Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a very portable external HDD with plenty of space for under £100.

    5.0 out of 5 stars No nonsense drive with no frills (not that you need frills!!), 26 Aug 2008
    By Dr. D. E. Goldwater "dodiceleedoo" (Bushey, Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)      
    This was delivered last week. It looks very nice (although it gets grubby fingerprints on it when you look at it). It should really come with a case but I found it fits like a glove in my Archos case which I had replaced.

    I have not bothered with the software but as a drive it is quiet and quick and HUGE. All my photos, music and video backed up in minutes.

    I have not a bad word to say about this product. This is not really a terribly sexy area of technology but I am quite excited to own this.
