So far so good
This is my first hard drive and have had no problems with it, it works nicely on the Mac OS X. I use it to backup personal files, pictures and music for a MacBook Pro through a Firewire800.On the outside it has nice looks with its clean aluminum finish and orange rubber bumper. The rubber bumper is removable/replaceable and actually feels good in your hand. I read reviews it was pretty cheap but to me it looks good, it keeps the hard drive from slipping on hard surfaces.Transfer speed is pretty good; actually, faster than using the USB in a Windows laptop. The only bad thing is that it will require two USBs on some computers, one for data transfer and one for power.
