Received this unit quickly, and conected it to the laptop even faster....up and running in no time. Lots of memory in a small package, and works well with all my Winxp machines, although my xp-64 computer ignores it. All in all, not a bad little portable hard drive.

I got this USB HDD to backup photos and music. I have a 8.1 megapix camera and each photo is atleast 3 Mb (with full resolution set) and before I knew I had like 10gb of pictures. So I got this drive to store them. Also the form factor is convenient to carry and it does not require external power supply. Now I can carry all my music and photos with me.
