Pros: Quite delicious! Very fast read/write speeds, and that was the main concern for me. It peaks at whatever USB plug i plug it in. When using firewire, i transferred close to 300GB overnight, which was roughly 10-12 hours. I did the math once, it came out to around 7 MBPS
Cons: beware of plugging in the firewire when your computer's off! They are versa-firewire jacks, and give no warning, if you plug this device into your iEEE1394 slot while on, your computer will shutdown immediately!
Overall Review: High Quality construction, smooth material on the outside, aesthetically pleasing.
