Pros: I've had this for 2 years now and I have abused it alot. I carry it around in my school laptop case so it is shaking all the time when I walk, but it still works. Just the other day I left it in my backpack while running to my car in the rain and it got slightly wet on the outside but I let it dry and it still works. I never safely remove it, I can run off 1 USB if I want but always rather use 2. In other words I abuse it pretty bad!
Cons: Only 160GB :)
Other Thoughts: To the guy who said the USB power doesn't work it depends on the computer. It has to be able to suck the power from the USB ports if your using an older computer it might be impossible. I would recomend buying this it has served me well and has outlasted the odds against.

Pros: Small, near silent, convienent. I bought it for travel, as I needed more space on my laptop. It has worked excellently. I use VMWare on it, so it essentially serves up the entire OS, and I don't notice any significant drawbacks in speed.. Used on 5 different computers and never needed external power or even the second USB plug.
Cons: My copy is pink... They offered in colors where I bought it (not newegg this time, needed instant gratification)and pink was $20 cheaper than other colors. Other than that no complaints, I love this little unit.
Other Thoughts: It's 160 gigs unformatted, you loose a few megs to the formatting, that's normal. Of course the industry could start publishing formatted size, but then it would have to decide formatted PC or mac, windows or unix etc etc.
Anyway, I'm thinking about getting some more for other apps because it's so tiny and seems pretty tough. I
