Summary: great drive, but buy (sorry to say) somewhere else
Review: Sorry Amazon but I am going to echo the review below EXACTLY! I ordered this drive at a low sale price (product available, ships in 1 to 2 days) and then gave up after waiting 8 days for my order to ship - meanwhile the drive was available (and apparently still shipping in 1 to 2 days) at a higher price! You left me no choice - I went elsewhere I got the drive for less money including free 2 day shipping.

Summary: Great storage capacity at a low cost
Review: This unit has been humming along nicely since I connected it. Actually, it's very difficult to hear the humming, as the drive is SOoooo quiet.It's pretty fast, albeit, not as fast as a 7200RPM drive, but I've got it connected via USB2.0, and it's definitely fast enough for my purposes, especially at THIS price. Although I personally don't want to rely on the drive as a true backup, it DOES give you the ability to make another copy of your HDDs so that you don't have all-your-eggs-in-one-basket. To this end, I found that the "One-Touch" button seems to limit you to only backing up one drive (as far as I can see). I wanted to make copies of the contents of two networked computers, each with two HDDs. From what I see, you have to do this manually ... no big deal, really, and it looks like it CAN be done with a script, but I haven't tried this yet. FWIW, I reformatted the drive to use NTFS, which worked OK on Win2K, but it did not give me an optimized format, so I redid it using Paragon Partition Manager 5.5. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.
