This WAS my favorite little device. It's slow, as it's a hard drive and not a flash drive. But, for the capacity and price it was unbeatable. That is, until it suddenly locked up and cannot be revived, literally weeks after the meager 1-year warranty expired. A 2 GB Kingston memory stick has a 5 year warranty. I can see why this device has such a short warranty--it's completely unreliable long-term. Check out the other reviews-same problem. 6 months ago I would have given it 5 stars, but the obvious unreliability of the device makes it worthless in the long-term. Too bad Seagate can't raise their manufacturing quality.
