 External Hard Drive July 5, 2008
No problems at this point....500GB for the price is great....I use it for my Leopard Backup...I also partitioned it in order to install a copy of Leopard on it...Everything worked fine....A good purchase for me...
 Works FINE but is NOISY June 24, 2008
I use this as a backup drive, so it only turned on during backups. I have Windows XP home edition, which recognized the drive immediately on turning it on. I had to reformat the drive to NTFS for Windows using the instructions provided with the drive. Setting up was very easy, however the reformatting took close to two hours. The drive is reasonably fast for a USB based drive. I have been using it for over two weeks now without any problem.
However, the drive is very very noisy. I have never heard a drive make so much noise before. So that makes me skeptical about its life. Also the always on bright white light in the front can be annoying to many. The fact that it has to be turned on and off by a switch every time can be problematic to those who want to use the drive all the time and not as a backup only device.
The build is reasonably strong and does not give way on plugging in.
Great external hard drive June 22, 2008
Has worked for me without any problems. Fits perfectly on the stand of my iMac G5 desktop out of the way. Recommend!
So far, so good! June 18, 2008

I connected it in less than 3 minutes and it's not noisy as I imagined! The only noise it makes comes from the external metal box tha vibrates due to the disk rotation speed. But if you touch it, it stops. Fit it correctly on the base and it won't vibrate.
Does the Job intended June 11, 2008
I bought this simply to add storage to my Moxi DVR.
As soon as the Moxi upgraded to the latest software I hooked up the drive and the Moxi detected it and reformated it. after about 5 minutes the drive was correctly reported in the available storage screen and has been working fine ever since.
It does not seem hot or under any stress from being on 24/7.
One of the reasons this drive was chosen is that it does NOT have a sleep mode that the Moxi cannot deal with.
