5 out of 5 stars Good deal for the buck   September 2, 2008

This product works fine for me (Windows Vista) I have it for 2 months now.

There is nothing special about it. I simply use it for storage and it does a pretty good job. I can not provide number but compare with other products I used I can say it has a good reading speed and an average writing speed. I haven't noticed any inconvenience with the cooling or the noise..

Go for it. Try to handle it gentle (like any other hard drive)



5 out of 5 stars Excellent drive at (now) an excellent price   August 30, 2008

picked this up from staples for 119.99 and it came to $130 after taxes, free shipping.

i transferred 400 gigs over to it when i first got it. the drive is nice, compact, well air'd body so the drive itself doesnt get too hot. all in all, nicely designed.

this is my 1st external drive. i never wanted one at the costs they were when they first came out. finally now you can have terabytes of storage for a few hundred bucks.

so this 750gb drive cost me $130 (after taxes). so you can literally buy 2 drives for $260 and have 1.5 terabytes of storage. you can finally download the internet and save it. ;-D
