Memorex 120GB Ultra TravelDrive USB 2.0 External Hard Drive - 32702120 -
Includes interchangeable, nature inspired color faceplates!

I needed a small, portable external hard drive and that is what I got. It is fast, efficient, has a good capacity for backing up and storing files and is easy with its plug-and-play. I am using it on a mac and so far it is working smoothly. The only reason I gave it a 4 overall is it does have that second USB plug for extra power. Even though it seems to be fine with power from the one USB my mac doesn't recognize the drive until I plug in the second USB to give it even more power. I have a USB splitter so it is not a hassle for extra plug space, but it would be easier if I only had to plug it in one place nonetheless.

I bought this drive for the price and size but when I ran a chkdsk on the drive, it came back with bad sectors. Another downside to this drive is that it comes with 2 non-standard usb connectors one for power from the usb hub.

Overall this was a great buy for me. I needed something small (fits in my pocket) and inexpensive; this fit the bill. The one thing that would be nice is a true one cord system. If you have a high power USB port in will work with one cord only however I have had to plug in the second power cord numerous times to allow the drive to have enough power to show up in my system. The write and read times are pretty good for an inexpensive drive. This was a good purchase.

Buy.com comes through again with a great product at a real good price. Drive is very good and I am using it to back my PC files so I don't have an issue recovering them. I can take it with me and use the data on another PC. I recommend it.

I've had no problem with this drive. The compact size is perfect for carrying in by briefcase or purse. I used it straight out of the box, and don't have to use the 2nd USB power cable. I didn't install the software - just drag & drop my files. I got it for the purpose of moving my iTunes Library to a portable drive, and it works great in this capacity. I like the fact that it has an indicator light to identify USB 1.1 vs 2.0 ports. And the price at Buy.Com made it an extra value.

This is a great little drive so far. Very light and portable for a 120GB drive. Does require the two included usb cables on the older computers I use. Excellent value.

My only "complaint" was the plastic packaging which was hard to remove. The unit is very portable, sharp looking and easy to use immediately - only a simple USB cord (provided). Files transfer just fine using XP desktop without loading software.

The product has good performance, looks nice. The only drawback would be that it needs two USB ports (actually sometimes it works even when only a data cable is connected, but in that case sometimes makes weird noises). If you have two spare USB ports, look no further - by this!

I used the drive on a Solaris platform to store my photo album. I zeroed out the first 10000 blocks or so of the drive with dd (FAT is a pain to use under Solaris) and then put a new file system on it with newfs. Newfs could determine the drive parameters and put a UFS file system without any problems. The drive is virtually noiseless. The drive has a power input and, although it came with a power cable, the drive itself can be powered through only the USB cable. BTW, the power cable draws its power from a USB source, so if you would power the drive through with the power cord, you would probably need to use 2 USB ports (or use a USB power adapter). Anyway, as it turns out, you don't need the power cable at all.

I purchased this drive to play my music library in my new car that has a USB port for MP3 players. I recently purchased a similar Seagate drive (same capacity, interface, form factor) and the Memorex drive has more features at a lower price. The Memorex drive arrives formatted for FAT32 instead of NTFS. This allows it to be used for MP3s and can be directly connected to most of the newer car USB ports. The Seagate drive was formatted NTFS and I had to find a formatter to change it to FAT32 because the car stereo wouldn't recognize the NTFS drive format. Both drives work with only the single USB connection although both have a second USB input for additional power. The memorex drive includes an LED that indicates whether it is connected on a faster USB2.0 port versus a USB1.1. The seagate doesn't have this feature. The memorex also seems to run a little cooler. Pretty important when it lives in the console of my car most of the time. They both have transfer rates that are the same. The drive cost 40% less than the seagate for the same capacity, form factor and interface !! Thanks BUY.com for a great deal.

Excelent product for the price, I bought three of these drives and I like the idea of changing the color of the case to represent different applications. I opened one of the case and found a Toshiba SATA drive MK1234GSX inside.

I was concerned about losing my music and pictures so I bought this external hard drive. It was really easy to use. Just plug into USB port and start copying.

This is probably one of the best storate drives that I have owned for the price. It does everything you want a large portable drive to do at a low price and a very small physical size. The only negative thing that I found was that some USB ports do not have enough power to use this drive. (some macs, some pc ext. ports). I would buy this any day if I had the chance to do so again.

On my laptop both USB cables are required but only one on my Dell desktop. Other than that one issue the drive works as advertised. I'm using it to store DVD movies so my grandkids can watch movies while we travel. No more fumbling with a variety of disks! While I haven't filled the drive yet I'm sure I will be able to get more than enough to fill a two week trip without watch the same movie twice.

I have to use both USBs (power+data) in every computer I've tried, but the drive is a great little performer. It's totally quiet, doesn't produce much heat, and moves files with alacrity.

Great product overall. Small, easy to handle, and works pretty well. The software (I use a Mac) was not as intuitive as I would like, so I'm backing up my files (my primary use for the drive) by just dragging the files that I want to the drive. Also, on my Macbook, the unit does not draw enough power through the data USB connection to run the unit, so I have to run both the data and power USB cable (both included) to use the unit. A bit of a drawback, although not enough to complain too much about given the value of the unit overall.

Turns out my HP Pavilion dv2010 has a bus powered USB so I only need to the drive connected thru one cable. Very convenient...and still cant beat the price.

I was a little worried about this drive after reading some of the reviews -- also Memorex isn't known for high quality electronics, but I'm pleasantly surprised by this hard drive. I only got this because my last external hard drive died and I needed something new, I should have bought a couple of these. I've got a Macbook Pro and it works just fine without needing more power. In fact, it integrates well with time machine for backups, so I don't need the included Memorex software. All in all it functions well, no problems at all. The device feels rugged, but I wouldn't recommend dropping it. Here are my gripes: The power cable for the device is a little weird. One end is a standard DC jack, and the other is a USB cable, which requires you to use another usb port. I haven't needed it, so it doesn't really bother me. Having to bring 2 cables along, just in case, may be a pain. The removable faceplates are a pain! It feels like you're going to break something when you change out the colors. I thought I'd keep it silver, but the black faceplates make it look much nicer. Overall: For the really low price Buy.com is selling this for, you can't not grab one...or two. They're really small, handy and reliable.

I got this portable drive for $50 here at Buy.com. You can't beat the storage space and convenience (just plug into the computer you want to use it with. doesn't need external power).

Great little device. Although 2 USB cables (data and power) are provided, the power cable is optional if the data cable can derived enough power by itself.

This is an awesome drive. It is quiet, sufficiently sized, and totally easy to use. It is powered by USB so you don't need an external souce for power and it is low-profile to boot. Excellent Memorex!!!!

Just plug it in and drag and drop. no set up... no problems. Couldn't be easier. I highly recommend this as a back-up storage device or portable hard drive. I use it as a portable storage device so I'm never without my f
