Careful !!

Pros: Sleek model, no noise, portable
Cons: installation software not good, formatting problem.
The Bottom Line:
Be careful while taking this.. check for the formatting problem as well as durability.
Me and my friend had bought this in a deal during the memorial day weekend. I had a hell of a time to reformat it to use it on Windows XP. The manual said that u need to reformat it to NTFS partition in order to work with Windows XP. The software given along with this drive is not that good. After talking with customer support, i finally got it through .but had a hard time.
My friend had the worst night mare of all. The day we bought it, he sat and took backup of about 18GB and when he booted his machine the next day, the hard disk didnt show up. it gave some mounting errors. he tried his level best but the external drive didnt mount. The disk is with the company right now - they are trying to retreive the data , if not then they will replace with a new one. but what about the data? i am hoping that it doesnt happen with me also.. so am a bit hesitant to use this is a backup device.
well apart from all this , let me say one thing.. this drive is a cute drive. its very sleek and nice model.
if you ask me about my opinion, then i would have told you to go with it coz of many good reasons, but i have seen what my friend has gone thru, and thats why i feel hesitant on using this model.
