Strengths: sleek, stylish, well-priced, relatively small, quiet, drive is replaceable
Weakness: painted plastic, 2mb cache, case is somewhat difficult to open
Got this to use with my G3 iMac with OS X. The drive itself looks really nice, the case only being slightly larger than the drive itself. It has a nice titanium-esque finish that would complement your powerbook or G5. The enclsoure is actually plastic with a nice paint job. Too bad its not made from aluminum like the d2 drives. The drive comes with Silverling Software for both Mac and PC but I...
Strengths: Looks, Storage, Speed, Versitility
Weakness: Slightly slow due to USB linkage
This is a great USB HD. I hold all my Itunes music and all of my movies on this HD. It gets used every day, and I have had no problems with this drive. No noise from it either, and I have had it for two years. Its a great little drive. I attempted to run my PVR off of it, and the data speed was slightly too slow, so its good for reading movies, but not writing large files that are being written...
Strengths: Very easy to set up (literally just plug it in), fast, good price, compact, looks great
Weakness: Included cord could be longer
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this drive. There's little to no installation necessary (all I had to do was plug it into my PowerBook and it was ready). If you're looking for some extra storage at a low price, this is the drive for you.

Strengths: plug and go
Weakness: short cord
All was good. All I had to do is pull it out of the box and plug it in and it was working on my iMac. No software needed. The only thing I did not like was the cord from the hard drive to my cumputer is short. Would be nice if it was 3 feet long.
