being a web designer and recording musician, i have to have a lot of work space and speed is essential, so i'll go with this product everytime!

it offers plenty of space for your backup or media but the read and write speeds are a tad bit slower than expected.
from www.bestbuy.com
no problem.overall, i suppose it's a tad slow, since i'm using either the firewire interface or usb (depending on where it's attached), but since it's overnight backup media, i don't care.the unit

i was very pleased, however, because i had to move a music library of 33 gigabytes, and it took only 24 minutes, which is good considering the only 400 mbps transfer rate.

i use the two to back up all my most important photos, music and files.

i use mine to hold all of my movie and song files.

so, worst case scenario, you click on a song or video stored on the drive and your media player takes a few seconds to play it.

additional thoughtsthis is a great device, as it stands i would recommend it to anyone who needs to back up a serious collection of media, like me.
from www.bestbuy.com
the first thing i did with it was to copy a bunch of windows games to it as iso's.
from www.bestbuy.com
i use mine with a copy of xp media center, and it works just fine without installing the software, but it doesn't specify it as an external hard drive, but more as an expansion to a flash-drive.
from www.tigerdirect.com
this makes it perfect for storing those huge media files that require high burst rates to allow fast forward, scene jumping etc.
from www.bestbuy.com
i use the hard drive for backing up music, movies, and virtually everything else on my computer, and i have not had a problem with it yet.now the price on the other hand is a little up there.
