Title: Well at least it's got 450GB of usable space
Review: I have two of these now and I can say that I do some what regret the purchase. I use these on both windows and Linux based machines with minimal problems. The one issue I've constantly run into with this disk is that it `automagically' goes into power save mode.This is very problematic on Linux based systems as linux detects the disk as having failed and marks it as read-only.The other downers about this drive are the fact that it still uses the 1980's style wallwort power supply, and it also uses the smaller USB connector (Which makes no sense).Speed:This disk does claim to be 7200RPM but I highly doubt you'll ever see any benefit to it.Comparing this against _MANY_ of my other disks, this is one of the slowest USB disks I own. I average anywhere from 3 to 10 megabytes a second transfer rates.Comparing that to 10 to 18 megabytes a second on just about every other flavor of USB disk I own.
Is the review positive or negative?
