Summary: good while it lasted....
Review: Like the other users said, this is a very silent drive, plug-and-play, you can use it right out of the box, no drivers or even directions needed.However, the drive died 10 months after I bought it. First I noticed that it was showing a lot of directory damage when I ran the chkdsk utility, then I noticed files were coming up very slow (I was using the drive for storing music, video and pictures, mostly) Maybe because I stacked another piece of equipment on top of it and hardly turned it off? Whatever the reason, I was shocked. I've read that the cost of recovering data from this type of crash starts at more than $1,000. Since there is no business value in the data on this hard drive, I'm just going to start over with another drive. What I have discovered is that I would probably be happy with a drive half the size of this one because about a year's worth of downloading music and video as well as archiving a lot of my CD collection on I-tunes has taken up maybe 40 gigs. Have no idea what I would fill the remaining 109 gigs with. By the way, the 160 GB vs 149 GB issue is that Microsoft actually counts up bytes differently from everyone else. So a gigabyte in Windows isn't 1,000,000 bytes but something like 1,075,000, and that accounts for the shortage of 11 Gigs, believe it or not.

Summary: Nice Product
Review: This is an excellent product. Just plug it in. Ready to go. Very quiet. Worth it. Only 4 stars because the 160G is really only 149G. I was a little annoyed at that, but maybe that is because it is preformatted?? However, I am satisfied. So think about how much space you need, and maybe think about Western Digital's 200G Hard Drive too.

Summary: Super Fast, Cool, Compact, Easy
Review: Wow this is a great external hard drive, 160GB, USB 1.1 and 2.0, works best on computers with USB 2.0 ports. As fast or faster then my internal hard drives, great solution for backing up information and for storing huge music and movie files. Very easy setup (just plug it in) pre formatted. Also very very quiet. Things to improve -- none I can think of
