Negative Positive
Title: flawed design
Review: pros: the drive comes in a slick package, and is gorgeous. the side light fades in-and-out on drive reads. it is silent (more on this), and setup was very easy (just plug and play under XP).cons: this drive is simply not reliable by virtue of its design. there is no fan to cool the drive. passive cooling is achieved by 2 metal plates enclosing the drive which is in turned encased by the plastic. as a result the drive overheats easily. after a few weeks, my drive developed "$MFT delayed write failed" even though delayed writes were disabled through the OS. it became unrecognizable. in order to access the drive to salvage data, I had to have a large table fan blow at the tiny vents to cool the drive. This made it stable enough to transfer data out of the drive. However, this is simply not acceptable.
