Customer Reviews

Works great so far4
I needed an external hard drive to store my music so I could run iTunes from it (I have an Apple iBook G4 that is only 40 gigs). Based on all the positive reviews for this product I decided to buy it. It worked right out of the box and after some configuration I have my music library set up the way I want it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't actually used it much for the purpose intended. But so far so good.

Good!4
Good external HD which has been working perfectly. Good feel and finish quality product. It comes with a good back up software. The 4 stars are just because of 2 drawbacks: the cable is too short and the actual memory is not 250 GB. It's normal to HDs not have available the exact amount of GB but this one took more than 10 GBs!

Cut Colors...but too large in size2
I love the colors that this drive is available in. I ordered the Flamingo Pink. I was not happy with how large the drive turned out to be. It was huge compared to the other portable drives on the market. I returned the item becasue of this reason. My friend kept her's in black, but then claimed that the read/write speed was slow. I'd look into the other drives on the market before buying this one, unless your heart is set on owning this model.
