Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: SUPER SLOW, NAFF PROGRAM, LOOKS GOOD! Comment: FOR PHYSICAL SIZE AND LOOKS, EXCELLENT AND VERY PORTABLE, FOR USABILITY A BIG FAT ZERO. SO SIMPLE TO USE THERE ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS APART FROM PLUG IN AND FOLLOW SCREEN MENUS. UNFORTUNATLEY THEY COULDN'T MAKE A SIMPLE TASK MORE HAP-HAZARD. "SYNC'D" MY DOCUMENTS ONTO DRIVE, SOMETIMES THEY WERE THERE OTHER TIMES NOT. HARDLY RELIABLE INSPIRING IF THE IDEA IS TO ERASE OFF COMPUTER ONTO DRIVE TO FREE UP SPACE. "SYNC'D" C DRIVE- TOOK OVER 10 (TEN!!!!) HOURS FOR ABOUT 25 GIG, NOW,SOFTWARE JUST HANGS, RANDOMLY TERMINATES OR FILES APPEAR/DISSAPEAR AT WILL. CONCLUSION- FORMAT DRIVE FROM NEW AND JUST USE AS AN ADDITIONAL "DRAG & DROP" HARD DRIVE. SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH ONE OF THESE AND THEY ALL DO THE SAME. IT WILL SAVE YOU ALOT OF TIME AND GRIEF.....HONEST! Customer Rating: Summary: Adequate connection cable not supplied. Comment: The cable supplied with this product is a single USB cable (the kind that everybody has at least three of). For some people that will be enough, because their computer will supply it with enough power through that. Some (older, say c.2005?) computers will not do this. They require a special Y USB cable. I think this one is adequate, but there are others on Amazon: Ex-Pro USB Cable - Dual Power, 2 x Type A to mini B, USB 2.0, 1m. Provides additional USB power to high draw devices using MiniB (Eg External Hard Drives etc..) A standard USB only lets out 500mA, this requires 1000mA. Some Computers don't limit the USB to 500, so for those the cable supplied is adequate. As for the quality of the hard drive, I can't say, because I can't use mine until I get the cable. It looks fine. But that's not enough. Needs to be supplied with the right kit. Customer Rating: Summary: fantastic product for storing files on Comment: really great item.so easy to use, fantastic for storing films, music etc on.i use mine alot through my dvd player (via usb) and plays films brilliant, no need for discs! great fast devlivery highly recommend Customer Rating: Summary: Superb! Comment: Small, sleek, elegant, and it WORKS. I'm using this to transfer massive iTunes and iPhoto libraries to my wife's new MacBook, and it works like a charm. 'Nuff said! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Portable Storage Device Comment: This is an excellent storage device, stylish and performs very well. Don't listen to people complainign about their "mac air not being able to either power the device or not achieving USB 2.0 speeds", it works perfectly well on my HP nx6110 which is quite pre-historic. Anyway, if you have problems withi this device, it must be problems with your other hardware. Mine works well, it's very quick and totally silent. I'm gonna buy a 400Gb version soon. Just bear in mind - the plastic case of the drive is prone to scrathces so beware carrying it with your keys. More Reviews
