 Works great with Macs and PCs October 30, 2008
I lose those little keychain jump drives every three seconds, and when I can hold on to one, I always fill it to capacity within a couple of weeks. This thing is small enough to tuck out of the way when needed, or put in a messenger bag or other shoulder bag. I backed up my hard drive, and continually add photos and large presentations, and it's nowhere near full. I did a dollar per byte ratio in my head when I was deciding between this and the other options, and this won easily. It goes seemlessly between Macs and PCs to which I connect it without me having to 'install' any added software. Let me stress: I've NEVER had a problem with it and I've connected it to at least a dozen different PCs which were managed by lots of different people... I suspect that those with trouble might have their own computer and its configuration (something Mac owners rarely worry about) to blame. This thing has been reliable for well over two years and I'm glad I bought it.

Although the data is reliably kept and I have not encountered any data corruption, the hard drive frequently fails to mount. Only on rare occasions does the drive show up, and if it does I make sure to update what I can. I'm sorry to say this external hard drive is just not reliable in regards to access.

I think that this is a great product. It has been incredibly easy to use, it has more than enough memory, and it was shipped very quickly.

El producto es perfecto la velocidad es rapidisima de transferencia de datos 3 veces mas que un pendrive. para no ser extraible el tamano no es tan grande lo unico que le quita puntos es que se conecta a un alimentador de corriente y no directo del usb.
