PROS -

A) Best cost/storage ratio of any portable drive I could find

B) Durable (military grade drop-tested, whatever that means)

C) Truly portable - very compact, and uses USB to power itself

potential CON -

1) USB only. But, since my netbook doesn't have FireWire, doesn't affect me.

This product is a wonderful alternative to storing on jump drives, as I had been doing prior to this purchase. I take so many pictures of my kids, that eventually I ran out of memory on my computer. This immediately remedied the problem. Sturdy, compact, and much more economical for storing files, pix, etc.

Transcend StoreJet is small, lightweight, and apparently unbreakable (they say it meets military standards 'drop test').

I got the 320GB storage which is more than adequate.

It has a quick and easy backup storage function. This function could be improved by adding the ability to sync/backup multiple computers. By default, the software is set to sync only one computer.

Device works like a charm with quick USB connection and transfer rate. I'm using it for data storage, backup, and file transfers.

Well I just received this hard drive earlier today, but so far it seems to be great. It looks nice, feels durable, and does its job! I'm glad I purchased this as the price on it is really good. That kinda had me second guessing, but not anymore. It's a nice little portable hard drive that is durable and comes with some pretty cool software for managing your files, folders, and much more(only if you decide to use it). I would definitely reccommend this to anyone looking for some cheap extra space.

Small portable disk drive I use with my netbook. All my desktop files are on this disk and are password protected and encrypted. Files I use regularly or want to add from the netbook are also on this disk in another folder. This gives me a possible 350 GB of data ready to use with my netbook and acts as a backup. I have not tried to partition the disk yet, but there is no reason I can't partition the disk and copy or use another OS and run Windows and Linux files on my dual book netbook. So easy to use. Automatically will run and backup files on Windows. To backup with Linux, use any backup or copying utility. My Ubuntu 9.10 did a backup up perfectly right away. Works just like any CD or disk drive. Not a speedy unit when backing up, but backing up all my data for travel with 350GB drive and a netbook is perfect.

Great product. Small and easy to handle due to cushioned, rubberized covering. It can be set to automatically backup certain folders/files, or you can manually copy. Be sure to use the thicker USB cable for connection to single USB port. Like a safe deposit box for your data.
