    It's simple really great. Quiet, Large Storage Space. Great design with Light.the only thing is that there's only 6pin-6pin firewire. so if you're a notebook user, you might need to get a 6pin-4pin firewire.

    Great drive all round. Use it on OSX Leopard without issue. Fast access and lots of space. Would be perfect for backup or just extra space.      » READ MORE
