I had done a LOT of research on external portable hard drives, and it all came down to Seagate and Western Digital. I had heard of Seagate's very impressive reputation and had read other reviews of this product and similar Seagate products.
POWER: I could not find any information about this hard drive's power source. So, for those of you who may be wondering, all you have to do is plug in the USB cable from the HD into the computer. That's it! (It does NOT come with an AC plug because you probably DON'T need one, even though there's a place to use one on it, just in case.) No switches. No buttons. No worries! The USB cable actually has two "heads." One is for power+data (the one you'll probably use most often); the other is for power only. On some older computers that can't power the HD on just the power+data "head" alone, you'll need to plug in both instead.
SPEED: When I create a folder on the HD, it takes just a second or two to respond. Other than that, I am quite pleased with the data transfer speed.
QUIET and COOL: It's true that this HD is quiet! In fact, it's VERY quiet! Also, during and after usage, it is COOL to the touch. Not even warm. COOL. I can pick it up and put it away, just like that.
PORTABILITY: I was pleasantly suprised as to just how small this drive is. It's about the size of a grown-up's hand. I can easily put it in my backpack and/or put it on the desk without it taking up too much room.
WEIGHT: It's quite light for a hard drive that can hold 40gb. It feels a little weighted, like a small desk paperweight. You probably won't notice any difference putting it away into a backpack, etc.
40GB: I'm still amazed that this baby can hold 40gb, which is more than enough for my needs. I used it to back up my laptop (including all my video and music files), desktop, and my computer work I do at school.
OVERALL: I am VERY happy with this HD. It is very convenient, PORTABLE, user-friendly, and there are no drivers or software to install to use it. I can plug it in to virtually any computer and use it the next instant. It's awesome for the price! If you're looking for something simple, elegant, and easy to use, I strongly suggest this HD.
