Pros: Was a pretty cheap buy, and it had decent write speeds. Also has a small light to notify you when its on and when the drive is in use.

Cons: Didn't last too long, after 4-5 months it started to die on me. The drive would occasionally shut off on me (though it wasn't currently in use), and it got plagued by dead sectors.

Other Thoughts: I've also heard of others having the same problem with bad/dead sectors with the Simpledrive.

5 out of 5 eggsGood drive

Pros: Holds everything. Inexpensive. Adjustable design: lays down or stands on side with attached clip. Small white indicator light. Easy set-up.

Cons: Slightly noisy while searching for files. Short usb connector. No eSata connection.

Other Thoughts: Purchased from another vendor at a great sale price. Sorry NewEgg. Thought others should know how good this drive is. Holds all my music and pictures. Used for backing up the back-up.
