Pros: Looks good, eSATA or mini-USB connectivity, 7200RPM.

Cons: "slim design" does not include the non-removable base, no power button.

Other Thoughts: I bought this HD for dj'ing, which means it needs to be portable. I wish I had known that it had a gigantic base that is not removable, making it not fit very well into any sort of laptop bag. It would be a fantastic hard drive for me if it could just lay flat. I don't even care that it has no power button since I only allow the laptop to turn it on and off. It would be five eggs if it weren't for the base.

Pros: Very sleek looking and smaller than I expected. Simple hookup with power usb cables. No drivers or software required, WinXP quickly recognized drive. Backed up just under 50gig of music and pictures in a little under an hour. Amazingly quiet!

Cons: Yellow light that runs along the entire front of the drive when in use could be a con to some. Not a problem for me, but if your computer is in your bedroom this light may be annoying at night. Luckily you don't have to remove power from drive when not in use, just remove the drive using "safely remove hardware" on XP and the light will go out.

Other Thoughts: Very happy with purchase so far (have only had item for a couple of days). As always, Newegg processing and shipping is the best. Ordered on Monday at 3pm and received hard drive Wednesday.

Pros: Easily and quickly configged to my Mac, easy to drag and drop, 1GB/min transfer speed. Received only two days after order. Quiet, somewhat cool, and nice, non-obtrusive orange LED light.

Cons: 'Sleek' design does not allow to lie horizontal! Sure it looks alright, but if I can't take that stupid base off it's only a matter of time before I knock it over and scrape a nice ring through my HD!

Other Thoughts: Is this not cross-compatible? It says it works for PC & Mac, but I found it works for PC OR Mac. Backed up my Mac no problem, but when I brought it over to my old Dell, it is recognized but will not allow to be opened in Explorer. Not even an option to reformat, wipe, and start fresh? When I formatted it on my Mac, it did erase all installer programs, does this mean it will only work with Mac OR PC? I mean I only opened it half hour ago but even my 256 MB jump drive is more cross-compatible than this. Am I missing something?!

Pros: Upright, so it is very compact. Neat little whole-body LED to let you know its on and active. Good price for the storage space.

Cons: The hard drive completely and utterly failed within the first three weeks. As far as I can tell, the rest of the system works fine, only the actual hard drive failed, so I could disassemble it and replace the HDD with a working one and it should be fine. Unfortunately the disassembly is a nightmare and its probably cheaper just to buy a new one.

Other Thoughts: I bought this unit a few years back so there may have been revisions since then.

Pros: Seagate HDD, nothing to complain about.

Cons: External casing is worthless:
- Minimal cooling, so this gets rather hot quickly.
- Fell to the floor one night and the USB connector inside the thing broke right off.
- Pain to dissemble as well.

Other Thoughts: Pulled the HDD out of the casing (which I threw out) and got another external case for the drive. Currently runs well; I have no problems with this set-up.

Pros: Nice design - Quiet - Fast

Cons: It goes into sleep mode when it's hooked up to my PS3. If I am not accessing it for about 15 minutes, it goes to sleep. The only way to wake it up is if I restart the PS3.

Other Thoughts: For some people that said there is no power switch, there is. You have to hold your finger on the touch sensitive Seagate logo on the base. Eventually it will truly power down.

Pros: Easy to set up. Good Design. The price is great! 65 bucks is a steal! I bought mine for about ten dollars more and thought that was a good deal.

Cons: Power connector is a bit loose - if you accidentally move the unit it may disconnect easily. Also there's no power switch on the hard drive.

Pros: I have had no problems with it. I like the slim design and the bar light that turns on/off as computer does. Ease of installation. Great $ buy right now.

Cons: I have a Seagate running next to it and it runs faster. Writing and even looking at what's on it is slower. Not enough to not buy it, but noticeable with another drive next to it. Slower backing up to it.

Other Thoughts: Lots of storage, no problems, at a great price right now. I paid a lot more. I would recommend buying it if your looking for extra storage for music, pictures, pdf documents, and stuff you want to archive. Get it.

Pros: Can anyone tell me if the drive inside is an IDE or SATA HDD

Cons: Can anyone tell me if the drive inside is an IDE or SATA HDD

Other Thoughts: Can anyone tell me if the drive inside is an IDE or SATA HDD

Pros: sounded like a good shell shocker deal

Cons: For the first time I am doubting NewEgg in the honesty category after always having great results. I was looking for a good deal, saw 211 reviews with a 4/5 rating (or 80%) but then looking at the number of 1,2,3,4,5 ratings... how is it that a product that has 66% 4 or 5 get a 4 star rating. I would like to see NewEgg be more accurate on the overall ratings, cause unlike any other site I trust my NewEgg reviews. SEems to me that 3.3 stars of folks were happy and 2.5 were not the rest were 3 neutral.
