Advantages: Size, speed

Disadvantages: Stops working when left in water!

I received this hard drive as a Christmas present and it worked perfectly. It is so small and I really like the way the USB tucks away. You can customise the picture on the hard drive, either with the supplied pictures, or with your own, which is nice. It worked quickly and efficiently, and I used this as my main file storage. It travelled with me a lot and got bashed and dropped a lot, and worked perfectly. However it got drenched in water on a very rainy camping trip (it was sat in a puddle of water in the tent!!) and after that it started to play up a bit and eventually after a few weeks it would only work now and then - thankfully I managed to get all my files off during one of its working moments. I think this is a great product, and is very tough - just not in water!!

Summary: Great hard drive, just don't soak it in water
