Review: I use this external drive for backups on the go. It connects very fast and is instantly recognized by my laptop. I've also viewed movies on it, and it is more than adequate. I like the compact design, as well as the more than adequate 160GB space.

Review: I wanted XBOX 360 to play media via this portable hard drive so I can achieve better quality than streaming through a media center extender from PC.

Great External HD
Strengths: Good price, quite, large amount of space.
Weaknesses: N/A

I did back up my desktop and my two laptop images within and was able to store all my data as well, and still have plenty room. Unlike my desktop HD, this device is silent.
