"specs don't match"
Pros: great value
Cons: not usb powered
Summary: in the specifications on here (and elsewhere i looked), this drive is listed as being powered by USB, but it is not! when mine arrived, it was plainly stated on the box and the other documentation that it required ac power (adapter was included). if the extra power cord on your desk is not an issue for you, then by all means consider this drive, as it is a great gigabytes/dollar deal. i didn't actually use it because now i have to return it, because i was counting on getting a usb-powered drive.
