Fantastic
Reviewed by Andy. Review Posted 10/08/2009
excellent product. keep it in my backpack and carry with me to uni everyday, solid as a tank. reliable, Very lightwieght, silent when operating, and no need for a power cable!! very portable, easy to sue, plug in to any computer and your away. plus its disticintive colour means you wont confuse it with anyone elses :-)
as i have the one with only usb, transfer can be slightly slow if doing multiple large transfers, but a really very minor qualm, and you can always get teh one with firewire if your that bothered..
boom ting.

Reviewed by Howie. Review Posted 19/01/2009
Delivery time was fantastic, but that's it.
The drive comes with an installed startup app ON the drive itself - the idea is great as it lets you choose between formating for Windows, or Windows/MAC/Linux.
The app is mandatory to run (on the drive itself) - without running it, the drive is unformatted and CANNOT be formatted from the PC format option.
Although the drive was intially recognised by pc - when I ran the setup program (on the drive), the application crashed and now the drive is totally useless - in the process of arranging relacement.
Hopefully the new one will work - prepared to give the drive a second chance - these things happen, perhaps I just got the friday 5pm unit.
