Pros: well this is my first hard drive. Its pretty stought, quiet, so far no issues with heat, just about warm at the most. Even though it says 600 its only 555. no problems with either my work laptop or personal one using it.

Cons: cant really think of anything the USB cable maybe a bit short but its no big deal figure I had to put something in here.

Overall Review: oh packaging was top notch I currently in Iraq and the mail can be more than rough in handling trust me I KNOW,, box had some dings but with all the styro peanuts everything inside was good to go.

Pros: so far so good, took me awhile to figure out the software and what was what, this is my first time and just a few trial and error mistakes, burns a dvd in about 6:15 give or take 10 seconds.

Cons: if you got USB 1.1 might as well for get about trying to do it, it will work but takes a good hour to burn a disk, but then again it could be something I am doing wrong, at work my laptop has USB 2.0 and works like a champ on it.

Overall Review: packaging was great, I am in Iraq and it survived the trip here plenty of packaging to on all the uploads and downloads this box must have made very good.
