5.0 out of 5 stars Great little drive, February 20, 2005

I've had one of 20GB versions of this drive for a long time and I love it. Small, very quiet, and I've never had a problem with it. I'm thinking about getting a bigger one, though. I use it with a Mac PowerBook G4, which has a six-pin connector, so mine draws power from the computer just fine. As for Dustin's frustration, it's not really SmartDisk's fault if you don't know that a four-pin connector won't supply power (that's the purpose of the extra two pins).

I've been using this hard drive for over 2 years with no problem. I travel for a living so it has been through a lot of abuse. It actually outlived 2 powerbooks that haven't been able to handle the wear and tear. It also survived 2 waist-height drops.
The small size and light weight make it ideal for my lifestyle.
The dual firewire ports make it convenient to daisy chain to my ipod.
Definitely recommended!

I learned the hard way about the need for regular backups. I'm using this drive to back up my entire computer on a regular basis. It's big and fast and, so far, absolutely plug-and-play dependable.
