"Good Drive, but check your Bus Power"
Pros: Beautiful Drive, Compact
Cons: You may have power issues on some laptops
Summary: I was really excited about how this drives looks. Apparently, however, it doesn't conform to the official USB spec for power consumption. This may be just during the initial spin-up, but it prevented me from using the drive on both a PC and Mac laptop. WD sells a cable that allows you to draw power from two USB drives, however it will cost you another $10 and it's currently out of stock.
Where to buy
