The drive works fine, as expected. No problems at all. However, being a big fan of the smaller 2.5" rugged drives, I bought this sight unseen without reading the description. Turns out it's a 3.5" drive in a much larger enclosure that looks exactly like the smaller ones in a picture but is actually much larger. I'm an admitted bonehead, so it's my fault but I'm taking off a star for the drive looking exactly like the smaller version that has become a bit of a standard around Hollywood.

Also, there's now no express card slots in the new MacBook Pros, so you can't use esata at all. Not a good drive if you're looking to use it with a new Macbook Pro.

DOES NOT LAST! February 23, 2010
By Ty
Size Name:1 TB|Amazon Verified Purchase
I never write reviews because things usually work! I used this drive twice and it failed COMPLETELY on the 2nd job. Luckily the footage we shot was backed up on another drive or we would be dead in the water. Wish I could recommend this drive (have 4 of the 500GB rugged drives which seem to perform better) but buyer beware. They look cool but can't say the same for performance.
