Ordered this for extra backup for my iMac, works fine with mac (contrary to a previous review) when reformatted. Doesn't have firewire but is much thinner and cheaper than the mac firewire version so go for this unless you really need the faster transfer speed. Silver case is plastic not aluminium but looks nice, very light and smaller than I thought it would be, not quite as small as the new WD passports but smaller and lighter than a freecom mobile aluminium drive I have. Silent operation as far as I can tell, did also try it on my macbook and powered fine with single usb. USB lead is not that long but enough to sit on the desk. The white light that 'breaths' is not too bright and looks good, certainly nothing like the increasingly irritating bright blue LED on my 1tb toshiba drive.

This is well made, small and looks good. Add the docking station and it's a great solution to needing more storage. The case that comes with the dock is ugly, but the dock is great. Recommended.

Reviewed after owning item for a month:Pros:-Lightweight - weigh no more than an empty wallet!- easily fits into a trousers pocket + cable- no need to take laptop to work- usb powererd so ecomocial for reccession- currenly running to two virtual machines off it and it handles file transfer at 5400rpm very well without noticeable delay.- nice light display lights up on it base - very attractive without being too bright- have run it over 4 days without turning laptop off - never gets hot- Manually hard-shut-down my laptop on numerous occasions and usb is unefected. Very reliable.Cons: All these manufacturers claim 500gb but the actual count is always 465gb - they should be charged with false advertising, but after Bush corporates don't care about the truth!Conclusion: Seagate is the best usb drive manufacturer and their products are high qauality and cheap. Only company that builds power management into their usb drives, though not needed for this one.
