5 out of 5 stars Tow years of these   September 26, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I've used these Freecom drives for a couple of years: I keep audio files and image files that I need regular access to on them to free space on the laptop. They've travelled everywhere with me - in my day-to-day bag, in suitcases on flights, dragged around Europe on flights and around the UK on trains. So far, they're bullet-proof. The USB power is a great advantage, the metal shell is tough, and well, they just work.

I would recommend buying some kind of case for them though, if only to have somewhere to keep the mini-USB cable with them.

Bought this to use as external storage on my mac book, as with all my photos and music it was getting a little slow.

What can I say? Brilliant! Took it out of it's box (it is small and neat) plugged the usb cable in and off I went. No installation, nothing. SO SIMPLE TO USE (and I'm a girl..!)

Can't recommend it highly enough. Fab.

I bought this product recently and it's great! Very well built with metal casing and it looks neat and tidy alongside my other equipment.
It also works very well with my Apple Mac (Leopard) and with other devices such as game consoles and windows pcs. I am very pleased with this product - great value. My only problem is that it could have been made with say plastic or rubber, instead of metal (in case it's dropped) but I guess there's the tough drive for that! I'm looking to buy a case for it in the future! Great product!



5 out of 5 stars So far .... great   August 29, 2008

I bought this little drive to save me taking my laptop to my Portuguese office which runs MAC computers (my laptop windows XP). If it works (I havn't been able to try it yet) I will be able to take all my relavant files via this small hard drive. To do this I have left the drive formatted as FAT32 as MAC will not write to NTFS.

The drive arrived as always from Amazon really quickly and worked straight from the box. It takes longer to write to this hard drive than my FREEAGENT (NTFS) hard drive. I'm not sure if this is because it is formatted as FAT32. Anyway if I can use it to migrate between PC and MAC environments then I can live with the slower speed. I will update this review later if it works with the MAC.

I have other Freecom drives but tried a Seagate FreeAgent from a Which? report that is supposed to work with my Mac, but wouldn't. Despite 2 calls to their US help-desk I discovered it wouldn't work with Mac OS 10.3.9 (no help there then) but Amazon replaced it with this Freecom which I connected to my G5 Mac & SuperDuper! then spent 70 mins copying my HD to it, about half an hour after I got it! What could be simpler than that?? My advice - don't buy anything else.
