Title: Seemed great, didn't work out at all.
Product review: I bought this HD because no one reported any problems with it.Simply put, it does not work for me. I have a laptop with WinXP. The drive will mysteriously 'disconnect' without warning. For example, it just disconnected 4 times in the time it took to copy 500 MB. The first 3 times, the drive would reconnect when I unplugged then re-plugged the firewire. After the fourth time, the drive would not reconnect at all. It would only connect again after restarting the computer.This is typical of every time I've attempted to use the drive. I exchanged it, because I thought it was broken. However, the replacement drive has the same exact problem.The size and the design of the drive are okay. I was impressed with the features and the price. I am disappointed that, for me, this hard drive is unusable. If it actually worked, my only complaint would be that the drive gives off the faint smell of burning plastic.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
