Good product, missing details.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2008

This external drive is fast as far as USB2 goes, and as you can tell is well put together and looks great. It also comes with a short Y-cable for dual USB connection, a fact which I would have appreciated knowing beforehand. If your USB ports are on opposing sides of your computer (as they are on mine, a PowerBook G4), you'll need to either get a small USB hub or some other external power supply for the drive itself, as it needs both USB cables to be plugged into the computer to function without external power.
Aside from that irritating fact, which I imagine is only a problem for a small percentage of customers, this drive looks good and functions as advertised. It comes already formatted for PCs, but includes clear and simple instructions for reformatting so it can be read by a Mac.

Dead on arrival.

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2008

I received two of these drives, the first was DOA, and so was the replacement. Amazon customer service is, as always, great! They replaced it faster than expected, but this particular product seems to be susceptible to failure. I am just not willing to deal with a third dead drive. I am getting something else.

It is a great price, but not if your time is more valuable than dealing with returns for defective equipment.

I really like it

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2008

Verified Purchase

So, I have only been using it for about 2 weeks, but I love the size and weight - it fits easy into my handbag or laptop case. It weighs virtually nothing. I finally have a nice device to keep my music and photos on an and back-up my files from time to time that is not cumbersome. I take it my harddrive with me everywhere now. I do realize that I can use up 160GB pretty quick though. I believe I will have to upgrade to a larger capactiy at some point.

Needs 2 USB ports/Not very portable

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2007

Verified Purchase

I don't recommend this if you're thinking it's an easy to use portable file transfer. It requires connection to 2 USB 2.0 ports. It does not work with a USB 2.0 hub. So, if I want to get files from my desktop, I have to pull it out of its compartment and reach around for the 2 ports. Except one of the ports is connected to my Linksys wi-fi antenna. Big hassle, with cables to printer, etc. Not a big deal for everyone, but as for me, I plan to return it.

Things to Watch Out For

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2008

The drive comes in a huge bubble pack which states that the device is USB powered. Take it out of the box and things get a little more complicated. Turns out, one USB connection may or not supply adequate power to run the device (I was lucky - mine did). So they provide a kludgy "Y" type USB cable so you can tap power from two USB ports. And, if that still doesn't do the job, there is a port for a 5 Volt - 1 amp. external power supply - it's up to you go find one if you need one.

Also, no CD came with the package - apparently, the software was preloaded on the hard disk. But, with no documentation - who wants to try it (not me!). So, I formatted the disc (took two hours) and now have a clean hard drive good for about 150 GB. So far - so good.

But, note, as someone said, do not remove it from your computer without running the system's "safely remove hardware" program. The documentation, minimal as it may be, does warn you about that.

Decent backup storage

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2007

I have used this drive with Ubuntu and Windows XP. Presumably it will work with any operating system as long as it is formatted to a supported file system type. The only annoyance I have found is that when you disconnect the drive, if you do not unmount it (on Windows this would be equivalent to using the safe remove hardware utility) before disconnecting, you lose and corrupt data stored on it during that session. If you are used to using any type of flash media and simply disconnecting it from the computer, you cannot do that with this without losing data. Because of this, I just use it for backing up files rather than just typical everyday storing files.

Contrary to what others have said, I am able to power this device through the USB port with all 5 desktops/laptops I have used it with, including one that is over 4 years old.

EDIT: After about 4 months, my SimpleDrive is no longer functional. My computer detects the device, but the drive inside the device is no longer detected. I would not buy one of these again.
