Product Description
The "drive for perfection" is built into the line of FireLite portable external drives. Palm-sized durable and stylish with outstanding performance and capacity FireLite offers the ultimate in a convenient highly portable data storage solution. FireLite combines the best features of today's hard drive designs in one attractive package. Quite simply FireLite provides quality without compromise.FireLite's diminutive size and weight are made possible through the use of magnesium alloy for the drive's housing - by weight one of the strongest materials on the planet. Its thermal dissipation properties also help to wick away heat increasing drive longevity. Hold it in your hand and you'll sense the aesthetic and functional advantages of a metal housing over plastic.Both FireWire and USB 2.0 models are bus powered meaning they can be powered directly through the FireWire or USB 2.0 cable used to connect them to your computer. For portability this is the utmost in convenience… just plug it in and start using it! For configurations that do not supply sufficient cable power FireLite can operate from an optional AC adapter.FireLite's high performance hard drive mechanisms and electronics provide outstanding data transfer speeds with either FireWire or USB 2.0. For most software applications you can use FireLite as an internal hard drive then unplug it and take it with you when you're done!FireLite models are equipped with either a USB 2.0 or FireWire (1394A) connection. USB models support USB 2.0 High Speed operation (up to 480Mbits/sec) and they will also work with USB 1.1 ports at slower transfer rates. FireWire models (supporting up to 400Mbits/sec) feature two ports for daisy-chaining several FireWire peripherals together.

Mac User Warning,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Verbatim 120GB USB Portable Hard Drive (USBFLB120) (Personal Computers)
As others have written, the entire SmartDisk USB line doesn't work properly with Mac laptops. I got one and it works fine with my wife's PC laptops, but won't even boot on my PowerBook G4. SmartDisk's tech support told me that the silver PowerBook line can't push enough juice through the USB cable to power the unit. So basically I have a silver paperweight -- nice. Avoid this product line at all costs.

This review is from: Verbatim 120GB USB Portable Hard Drive (USBFLB120) (Personal Computers)
This is the second verbatim portable hard drive that I have bought both have performed flawlessly. This first one is carried around with me so I can show off my photography. It has performanced so well for me that I downloaded the picture from a wedding to it for the bridge and groom.

This review is from: Verbatim 120GB USB Portable Hard Drive (USBFLB120) (Personal Computers)
Product has issues. Worked for one month with my Mac (OSx). Then one day after a reboot, it refused to show up on desktop. It began to beep. Disk utility recognized it, but did not offer options to verify, repair etc. Smartdisk tech support said it's a problem with power -- that the unit was no longer able to draw enough power from the mac throug the USB cable as it is supposed to -- they said they're aware that this was a common problem raised by many customers.As advised, I bought an AC unit ($36) -- the unit stopped beeping, but continues not to show up. If I send it in to Smartdisk for repair, I will lose all data. Upon research, I have seen many other similar complaints about this product. One customer tested the hard drive with another housing unit and was able to find all data -- proving his was a problem with the Smartdisk housing not the memory. But Smartdisk warranty will not preserve data in their repair. Chief Compliants: USB cable doesn't draw power as it should, and the thing refuses to show up on desktop. Buy something else more reliable.
