 Good price, nice small form factor, not reliable. November 14, 2008

I bought this and used it as an every day backup with my Mac. 6 months later, it stopped reading on my Mac as well as any other computer I tried to test it on. Luckily they had a 3 warranty on this product, so I dropped it off for RMA and get it replaced with a new one. 6 months is definitely not a reasonable lifespan for any hard drive these days and I had some hiccups with getting the RMA...long story.
ANyway, I might just sell it rather than using it, but I don't know which model I should buy that's as small and affordable and more reliable. I guess no HD is ever reliable. Good thing I have 2 backups.
Maybe i got a lemon? October 20, 2008

So my HP laptop screen went out and needed to go in for service (dont even get me started on Hp!!) So i went out and bought an this hard drive and connected my computer to a screen and was able to transfer all my files to the hard drive. I was using the drive to access files for class until i got my computer and i also knew it was possible my hard drive was going to be wiped out during the repairs. Anyways my computer comes back 2 weeks later- luckily they didnt wipe out my hard drive- but when i plugged in my hard drive it wasnt being recognized- and any computer i plugged it into wouldnt recognize it. I couldnt return it because i couldnt find the UPC, so i called customer service which i must say was quite helpful. they had me uninstall it and then reinstall it and it then worked. around 6 weeks later my laptop was going back for the third time - my screen was out again and i couldnt even hook it up to an external screen- and my hard drive wasnt being recognized by any computer! i tried uninstallinga nd reinstalling and it didnt work! i called tech support and i told him i tried that and he asked who otld me to do that and i said the last tech support i spoke to and he said i shouldnt do that again! (very weird!- makes me a little wary of their tech support) Neways the guy concluded i had a defective hard drive and he told me to send it in- but now i dont have a back up to my computer and i cant access anything on my computer- so i had to bring my computer in and have them manually back up my files on a CD. I eventually found my UPC and since it was after the 30 days i wasnt able to return it but they let me exchange it (this is at circuit city). I havent tried the new one yet but im hoping this original one was a lemon!

I knew little about portable HD's, but after some research this one rose to the top. The SimpleTech offers me the space I need and is easy to use for someone not so technical. And then there is the color, true blue.
So far, so good September 2, 2008

I can't complain. The storage space is great. It's easy to use (plug and play). I'm not crazy about the online software that comes with it. That I found difficult to use. But so far, so good. Very compact.
