 Lots of space, portable September 20, 2008
Carolyn Osborne (Ohio, USA)
Back when I thought a 20 meg hard drive was huge, I never imagined that I would fill my 120 gig hard drive on my laptop with video files (often more than 20 meg per file!) and face a space crisis. Well, I did, so I bought this 320 gig portable external hard drive. It transports well and it has relieved the space issue on my laptop. It does require electricity, so it's not like you can take it up on a mountaintop with your laptop, but you can get rid of stuff you don't use all the time and store it. You can also back up your computer on this (although using their software may be problematic).
Having read the reviews of this, I elected not to use the included software and I like this hard drive very much.
Nice Drive September 15, 2008
J. Hager (South Texas, USA)
Bought three of these drives, working well so far. Like the multiple connection options, make it easy to use on PC or Mac.
Standard hard drive, slightly annoying OS X software June 25, 2008
Aileen Chen (Southern California)
I've put the drive on a bookshelf next to my desk and it fits in nicely. It has a little LED on the front that goes off and stuff, but I don't see it doing anything meaningful.
The OS X software is OK. It's a little slow, and I could not find the serial number for the trial software in the box. -1 star for that.
I definitely recommend this drive April 7, 2008

This drive works great. I needed a drive to store 50-100GB of images for access from our company website, and I was concerned that the access speed would be an issue (not to mention the sleep mode I've heard others talk about). I bought the IOGear eSATA 3Gbps RAID 5 adapter from Amazon, and man is it fast. For those of you who said that USB seemed to be about the same or faster than eSATA... well, you need to try this eSATA card. Using USB, it took 1 min 14 secs to copy a 197mb file to the drive. It only took 8 secs using eSATA. A little side note... this card only works in a PCIe (express) slot.
Needless to say, this drive is quiet (no fans), and only slightly warm. While copying 50gb of images on to it, the drive never got warmer than the screen on my flat panel monitor. I've read that the light on the front only indicates drive activity if you're using USB or Firewire, but mine works the same for eSATA too.
I've only had the drive for two days, but it's working great so far. It's a winner in my book. (no pun intended)
The Software IS Included! February 19, 2008

Just fyi, but the software is included with this device. You need to enter the software key that is printed on a lable and stuck to the "installation guide". If you do that, the backup software shifts from being a "trial version" to a fully licensed and functional version. Thus far, it seems to work well.
