Customer Rating:      Summary: Tiny, lightweight and very useful Comment: I've been using this product for a couple of months now with my laptop. It's obviously designed with portability in mind - it's tiny and so light that I'm surprised I haven't lost it! I carry it around loose in my laptop bag and it seems strong enough too.
Plenty of space to fit all your stuff on - I in fact mainly use mine for storing games and tv recordings on (they take up a lot of space on laptops HDD) and it does the job perfectly.
Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a very portable external HDD with plenty of space for under £100.
Customer Rating:      Summary: fabulous Comment: This is by far and away the BEST thing I have ever got. I am a total gadget fanatic and travel a lot. I have ATMT media drives at places I stay which are really bulky and heavy but with this thing I can carry around 320GB of stuff literally in my pocket. It powers itself off your computer so no power cables, no travel adapters - as long as you have access to a computer somewhere your sorted - its really light and transfers stuff quicky. It's silent and opens as a drive on your computer. For the first time in my life I haven't been over my weight limit at the airport. Just FAB.
