Not so sure I bought this item November 20, 2008
G. Cantor (Mill Valley, CA USA)
I bought one of these babies a month and a half ago and am not all that pleased. I have several machines that I routinely move information from/to and back up. I needed a reliable and portable solution. I've had several problems with some of my machines ingesting this drive and so am concerned about long-term reliability. If you're considering a disk like this, review all alternatives first!

Great with my Mac, but not on Vista November 17, 2008
Surfseventy8 (Nantucket, MA United States)
I consider myself to be very knowledgeable about electronics and computers so I was a little annoyed that I couldn't figure out how to get this to work with Vista. My plan was to back up all my photos on the external hard drive before I send my PC in to get downgraded to XP. I spent 2 hours trying to get this to work but all I could figure out was how to install their Google Desktop (spyware) software and back up emails and documents that were sent and received with Outlook, a program I don't use. I gave up after talking to tech support for 1/2 an hour.

On the other hand, I plugged this into my iMac and it works beautifully! No setup, no spyware, no worries.
