Pros: Nothing incredible beyond what other similar drives offer... slim package, USB powered, quiet, reliable thus far.

Cons: Would have rather picked it up in white, but the blue model blue had a much better price. (I'm stretching for something here...)

Other Thoughts: I've been using this drive for almost 4 months now via USB Loader GX on a softmodded Wii system. It has done everything I've asked of it without issue. I can't comment on any included software (was there any? I reformatted the drive minutes after opening the container...) or portable durability of the drive. It sits in my entertainment center and only moves on the rare occasion I need to hook it up to a PC. Drive has been powered up and down at least once a day since purchase, some times more often without issue. I've already recommended this drive to a number of friends for this purpose.

Pros: Nothing at all

Cons: I received this item as a return because the first one had the click of death. Well i received this one and straight from the box to my computer and it has the click of death. I thought the first one might be a fluke...a fluke doesnt happen twice in a row. This is complete junk. Dont waist your money. Now i am out an extra x2 shipping costs for this junk.

Pros: Very nice piece of equipment. Great way to transfer large file folders between non-networked computers (and store things too!).

Cons: Wish the resident software folders didn't take so much territory in the Explorer listing. A little confusing why there are so may folders!
