I bought this drive as a replacement for an old 80Gb Freecom drive and I have been very impressed. I opened it up and was immediately impressed by how small the unit was it is not much bigger than an old audio cassete box (for those of you that can remember the days before CDs).
I was particularly interested in this device as I was after a bus powered drive (it is powered by your computers USB port and not a mains adaptor) as for me being truly mobile is important to me and this allows me to use it with my laptop when I am on the move. The drive was supplied formatted and had an actual capacity of around 480 Gb. The device maximises the USB 2 transfer speed and transfers smoothly. Large files and large amounts of small files transfer seamlessly.
The device comes with a USB cable that has a splitter on the host end that allows you to plug it into 2 USB ports in case one doesn't provide enough power. I haven't found that it needs this on any of the 4 machines that I use. The device itself is a stylish mix of glossy and matt black with a nice convex shape around the edges. It lies flat and has a small footprint. There is also a power/activity blue LED which lies just above the USB port. Personally I would prefer this on the opposite side but that's because I like my cables at the back. Still that is purely cosmetic! The drive is virtually silent in operation - it is easy to forget that you have it attached.
