After buying this with my Birthday Money I wondered if I had made the right choice. There were higher capacity ones on the market for the same price. However I bought it because it doesn't need a bulky power adapter and to add extra storage for my pictures and music.
To install it is a breeze. All you have to do is plug it in and windows detects the drive and assigns it a letter. You can then format it, partition it using the windows drivemanager as NTFS or FAT32 or just leave it as it is as its already formatted.
I chose to format it as NTFS and then to partition it into 3 section for music, pics and data. This was easy to do and soon I was plugging it in and playing.
The operation of the drive is very quiet and it has a 3 yr warranty you can't say fairer than that.
Having had bulkier drives in the past I can honestly say this stands up to them no problems at all. The other hard drives in the past were so noisy I had to turn up my computerspeakers or TV. But this is so quiet I sometimes forget its even there.
When you are not using it you simply unplug. Put it in your handbag or jacket pocket and take it to work etc.
Perfect for the person that is on the go all the time and doesn't have to time to mess around.
I recommend this to anyone who wants a quick and easy solution to storage problems and doesn't want to spend a fortune.
There are cheaper versions as well say 200 gig or 160 gig. But I suggest you spend that extra and have the 320 gig model.
Only gripe is that 320 gigs turned out to be 300 gigs. But still good value for money.
