 It works. Period. October 5, 2008
Many of the other reviews here note how simple this product is. That's the best part about it. You plug it in, decide whether or not to install the pre-loaded software, and then just use it. This is a no-frills device that does what it says it does. The best part is that it's USB-powered to no other cables are needed other than the USB, and the speed of data transfer seems to be find for the casual user. I backed up most of the contents of My Documents (about 40 GB) and it took about 1.5 hrs. Excellent product.
Small size, BIG storage October 5, 2008
This device is perfect for those needing to carry large amounts of data, or as a backup device. Easy to use and lightweight, this device performed flawlessly during an long trip out of the country.
Great Hard Drive October 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This little external hard drive is great. USB powered means that I only have to carry a single cable with me, if even that. It uses a standard A to mini-B USB cable.
There is a small white notification light next to the USB port on the device. It is bright enough to be noticed but not too bright to be bothersome.
Since it is a moving parts hard drive inside this enclosure, after safely removing the device you should wait a couple extra seconds before unplugging it. The device needs to move it's header back to a safe zone as to not corrupt any of your data. You can actually hear it still working even after you click remove device. Just wait those couple extra seconds to make sure no data is lost or corrupted. With all hard drives I recommend safely removing it through the USB option instead of just pulling the plug out.
I have had no problems with device. I use it to backup my data regularly.
Great PS3 Upgrade October 3, 2008
This is a truly reliable and useful product. But, I didn't use it as intended. I used it to upgrade my PS3's hard drive. With 280GB of extra space, I never have to worry if I'm going overboard with my videos and demos. It's a very simple process thanks to this products design and Sony's consideration for hardcore gamers. If you're looking to pump up your PS3's memory a little bit, you'd be hard-pressed to find better.
All good October 3, 2008
Love this item because of the size and price. Works the way I expected it to. I recommend.
