5 out of 5 stars Great little hard drive   August 18, 2008
D. Nation (Seattle, WA USA)
I researched pretty obsessively before I bought this hard drive. I don't use it frequently, but I think it works wonderfully well. I bought it to back up my iBook G4 hard drive, and here are my observations:
It's small. It's quiet. It doesn't get hot. It is easy to set up... just plug in to firewire and turn it on, and there it is on the desktop. It's pretty (I don't mind having it on my desk). And it's very portable should I need to pop it into my briefcase and go. While it runs 100% off of my firewire power supply, it also has a place to plug in power, should you choose to buy a power adapter (go to Radio Shack or something?) to take the burden off of your computer's power supply.
Like I mentioned, I shopped around obsessively, and decided on this one. I am very very happy with it.



5 out of 5 stars Great backup for peace of mind   August 1, 2008

Very versatile peripheral; ideal for back-up or in my case great for transferring large blocks of data to & from different computers. With so many of todays input devices wanting a USB 2.0 port, this handy, dandy device with the option of Fire-Wire 400 frees up valuable USB ports. To protect your investment I recommend the Caselogic PHDC-1 Small EVA External Hard Drive Case for those moving the drive around & about.


1 out of 5 stars Consider deleting instead   July 6, 2008

Take 90 bucks flush it down the toilet, then delete the data that you wanted to save in the fist place. You might save time.Then again you might get lucky. It worked great for several months!
