N/A 7/13/2010 2:54:55 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 2/5Not recommended 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. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

R 5/15/2010 8:32:11 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Good 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.
