Works well

Pros: I hooked this drive right up to my AirPort Base Station, and I have 4 machines that use it as a Time Machine backup drive. So, it's getting hit pretty regularly day/night (I never shut it off), and I've had no trouble yet (after owning it for several months).... I'm ordering another one now.

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: The activity LED is a bit weird. I turned the drive around so I don't have to look at it.

Pros: I put it in a Mountain Lion hackintosh... Amazing speed. Super short boot times. The only thing I can compare it to is 15k RPM drives I've used in the past, and this blows them away (read and write)

Cons: Wish they were cheaper, but at this price I'm happy

Overall Review: Want to buy more of these after seeing how well the machine performs

Pros: USB2, FW800, eSATA connections - easy assembly, solid transfer rates... this is just the enclosure I was looking for, especially for cross-platform use.

Cons: none
