I own this HD three months ago, and its a very good product; the only difficult i've found with this is, as happens with almost any external HD, that sometimes you forget to start the drive. Why they don't start with the CPU? we used it like a normal HD!I wrote this comment on February 2007; my HD went out last week (July 2008)after failing persistently during 6 months; if I were you I do not buy this; if looks too good to be true, then it's not true!
