Very nice drive @ a great price - Wish it had firewire 5 by .. Norman Fishman (Tucson, AZ)
There's not much to say - the good -=> it's quiet - it's compact - it's attractive - it's a great Time machine drive - it's 750GB in your shirt/pant pocket! On the down side it uses a non-standard usb connector (don't lose the supplied cable).

if it had firewire 800 it would get 6 stars.

Great Size, great Speed, Nice Design, Great Brand. 4 by .. cubanomx (mex)
I purchased this Hard drive with a Gift card (Nice!) because my Toshiba 640GB disk (mini) only works 2 days. Now this is the replacement.

Pro:

Is small, is fast, is nice, is great. Big size, low price.

Cons:

USB connector is not standard (I believe this will be standard in the future perhaps)
The unit works HOT if you use it for hours.

I recommend this product.

Great Drive, Mac Compatable 4 by .. Bradley M. Wehrle ()
I was worried about buying the drive as it is PC compatible and i have a mac. I didn't want to pay the extra money to get a product that has been formatted a different way. After talking to a few people i found that the drive just has to be reformatted using the Dick Utility that comes on every Mac. After doing this and partitioning the drive, all of which is easily done using the Disk Utility the drive works great with Time Machine on my Mac.

The only con, which has already been stated, is that the usb drive is not standard.

The drive works great and its very compact, perfect for keeping in my bag when im in class and all over campus.
