Considering you’ve got to carry the power supply around with you, I wouldn’t consider it very portable, but then again I don’t think it’s supposed to be, if you want portable then you should look at the BlackArmor PS 110.

has put out a large number of external hard drives over the last few years, and I'll admit that it can be hard to distinguish one from the other given all of the names, configurations, and so on.

MyMac.com Review Rating: 6 out of 10 Score would be much higher without the Dashboard.
Although the speed of external USB hard drives are a bit slow due to the limitations of USB, having 750 gigs of backup space is simply awesome. Transporting an external device such as this one that requires a power supply and cables can be a bit clumsy, but it's nice to know that any Windows 2000/XP...
You won't be disappointed with this drive. I now have 2, they are so good! Note that this is actually 2 x 2 TB drives configured as RAID 0, which is how it gets to be so fast.

3X speed of regular USB 3.0 drive on reads & writes. 3.6 TB (after formatting) is wonderful amount of storage!

none (unless you count the cost, but it is not pricey for the features & benefits that it provides)
The package said compatible with PC's or MAC. To use with PC, you have to go to their website, format it, and then re-format it to remove all the junk the first format puts on it. Seems to work OK as a back-up drive. Nice small size.
Good value. Initially I installed the optional "Seagate Dashboard". Since this 2TB drive is for Apple's Time Machine, this was a mistake. Dashboard yields nothing of value. Worse, it clobbered the Desktop icons for Time Machine.
Excellente product.
