Seagate and HP quality at a decent price!

Pros: Excellent documentation. Installs in a snap! Came preformated with an NTFS partition so was ready to go for WindowsXP. No additional drivers to install! Very attractive brushed aluminum case! Cooling fan on the back of unit which isn't noisy at all!

Cons: No power on/off switch on the back of the unit. Would have liked to see a driver that allows for putting drive in an energy saving mode, or "sleep mode".
