"Expensive, Fast hard drive with MAJOR COOLING PROBLEM"
Pros: It works well - it does what it should: Stores lots of stuff
Thre connection options: either USB 2.0, FireWire (400 or 800) or eSata
Seems to be resistant against bumps although it doesn't look like it and seems to get scratched easily.Cons: Expensive
Summary: I kind of prefer the Transcend StoreJet with 500GB which was cheaper (already half a year ago!!)
Device gets really hot. Seems to have some cooling issue. That worries me...
Connection ports (when not used) have no protection against dust or liquid.
I bought this device because I TRUSTED THE Cnet review - BEWARE guys - I don't think it deserves all the praising!
Peace,
C@ndy
