Feels well built, low price. A little thicker than my memorex one. Does what it's supposed to. a nice little drive to throw in my back with my netbook to have when I need it.

a little older drive but great performer all round with some features you don't get in a lot of drives today

It surprised me how light weight and portable this little 500 GB drive is. One thing I would have liked is a pouch to tote the cord along with the drive. With so many plugs, cords and adapters needed for Mobil devices, it is good to keep them together. The instruction sheet is printed in minuscule type face and very difficult to read. I did make out a line that said you will have one month of free phone support from the time you call the tech center for help. Email support is unlimited within warrantee period. One of the other reviewers who is more tech savvy then myself, was kind enough to give instructions for formatting for windows machines. This  is a nice little drive from a trust worthy company.

I ordered this drive despite some negative reviews but so far it is a good Back Up Drive. It is small and don't need to plug it into ac power which is what i wanted in a back up drive. It is not as fast as I hoped for but i can overlook that as long is it works. Overall very nice and I highly recommend it.

OK -- we all know that we're supposed to back up important files, etc... right?  Well, I think the last time I backed up this USB drive was when I bought it 2 years ago.  So you can imagine how I felt when I pulled this out of our dryer with my pants this morning!

Just checked the file system and it's ok.  I wouldn't try this again for fun, but it's nice to know that the washer-dryer combination one-two punch wasn't the end of the world for this little USB drive.

Just like the little packages and I do not feel like I have to beg for more at the drive in window.

I really like how small this drive is and it looks so nice on my desk with my laptop computer. I also like that it burns blu-ray disc with no problems and the software that came with the drive has a updater program that checks for firmware updates automatically. It burns at 6X speed and I haven't got a coaster yet.

I'm using it as a backup drive and it seems to work great. Very small. Installation was a breeze.

It is a little larger than expected for my little WD external hard drive, but it works to my advantage when my Toshiba laptop died, I had to get the small hard drive out of it, and now keep it in this pink Drive Logic case along with my WD external hard drive.

I knew before purchase that this had a short cord and I own another seagate drive like this but i still do wish they had a longer cord. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars. When you have the laptop on your lap and go to set it down it's awkward to use the drive.

with the usb3 my 500 gigs backed up in about 12 hours. I think thats pretty good. I did not use the software that came with the unit so i cannot commment on that at all. It was impossible to hear the drive, it's very quiet and unless you touch it and feel the vibration you may not know it's working.

The usable capacity of this out of the box is 930 gigs. My 1 TB system isn't near full yet so this was fine with me.

My main reason for getting this was lack of a power cord and I'm very pleased with the unit in my 1st week of ownership.

I wanted a drive large enough to partition for time machine back-up on the mac as well as providing some space in another partition for storage of other documents.  This drive works easily, is smaller than I expected physically, and also has the benefit of upgradeable interface to meet future needs (thunderbolt).  Only reason I give it 4 stars is because case is all plastic and no metal anywhere that I can tell.  Still it should hold up well over time.

I got this to lug files back and forth to work. I can just throw it in my backpack and not worry about it.

I put this drive in my Macbook Pro using a drive caddy and it does exactly what I'd like it to. I can now carry all my media around with me, and because it's a low power 5400 RPM drive I don't have to worry about it killing my battery. Definitely a good buy for me.

I have several external HDs with this common configuration and I like the short size for quick backups on the fly.

I purchased this drive earlier this week from a local Fry's (Sorry Amazon, they had the better price). So far it's been a good purchase. I use it with my MacBook Pro as a backup drive for my Mac files and as a place to put my Windows games on a second partition. Because the Windows partition on my Mac is smaller, I install and run my games from the external and so far it keeps up just fine. Load times are comparable to the internal drive.

One thing that I like that I didn't see in the description is that this drive has a cooling fan inside. My other drive that relies on its aluminum case to cool it gets mighty hot and I worry that it might be shortening the life of the drive inside. This drive also came with all the cables you need for each of the connection types.

Like I said, I haven't had this drive long, so based on it's features I'm giving it a good rating. Others have complained of it being noisy, but my room is never quiet and I'm so used to the clicking an whirring of fans and motors that I haven't had any problems. The base and enclosure seem to absorb vibration enough that my whole desk isn't vibrating (a problem with my older drive).

Too new to comment on lifespan/durability but I got this to backup stuff from my iMac desktop and it works great.  A quick and simple (open "disk utilities" on your Mac) reformatting of the drive and it's good to go.  Nice small size and good price for a 1Tb drive.

it's small size makes it somewhat difficult to push the USB head into position.  I do appreciate that, with the little metal band, circling the drive, I was able to clip a ring onto it, so I could attach a label, telling me what is on the drive.  That does make it handy
