Sleek design, No complaints, working perfectly. They could have provided a leather case/cushion case for protection. Was this review helpful?  
1 of 5 Stay away from Verbatim Wednesday, December 02, 2009
Pat from Goldens Bridge, NY
The drive inside the enclosure is a Western Digital. I have several WD drives that work flawlessly. The first drive did not get enough power from my USB port so I tried a powered USB hub. When that didn't work I contacted Verbatim who told me I needed a Y connector USB cord so I would get double the power. I purchased 2 of them and neither worked. After several months of being jerked around via email and telephone I finally got the drive replaced. The replacement was even worse. The first one would start on a friends desktop but the replacement would not run on anything. When I finally found a computer it would spin up on it dropped data so I couldn't even give it away. I have called Verbatim to follow up on my case every month for a year. They are very polite but do nothing. All the promised call backs have never come. Now after a year I give up. I tossed the drive in the garbage and decided to write a review. BUYER BEWARE if you need support. Was this review helpful?

3 of 5 Needs special cable on some computers Tuesday, March 31, 2009
John from Cranberry Pa.
I recently purchased and found that I need a special Y cable to power the unit. My computer is 3 years old and the USB port does not supply enough power to the unit. I contacted the company and they are sending cable at no charge but I needed to use it on a trip and the cable will not be here for 7 days. Just be aware that if you have an order unit running Windows XP, you might need a Y cable to power it.
This should be stated somewhere on the specifications! Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Excellent back-up drive. Tuesday, March 31, 2009
Chad S. from Riceville, IA
So far so good. Using just one USB port for operation is a plus vs units requiring two USB ports or a transformer. Works wonderfully with Apple's "Time Machine." Was this review helpful?

Blind techno-geek from Oklahoma City, OK
I got this drive for backup and for moving files between machines. So far so good. It's very easy to use, just plug it in and go. My computer recognized it instantly and I was moving files within a minute of plugging the drive in. I'm very happy with my purchase so far. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Excellent product, worked right out of the box. Tuesday, February 03, 2009
Gary from Tampa, Florida
I needed a external drive that would be able to store all my information seperate from my main drive, just in case. This worked perfect, just plugged it in and it was there.
It comes with Nero backup software, but I used Windows backup instead. Nero provides too many advertiements. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Pleased with this unit - The price was right Thursday, January 01, 2009
A Customer from Eustis, Florida
Having replaced three hard drives on my current computer I didn't want to go thru' the hassle of backing up all my photo's and information onto separate discs. I purchased this Portable Hard Drive to keep all my files in one place. I only just received this product and plan on doing the tranfer next week. I have used Verbatim product for many years and know that this unit will serve this purpose well. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Great drive, great price Monday, December 29, 2008
A Customer from San Francisco, CA
I bought this to move photos from a full drive on my Mac Mini and to share with a new Macbook. This drive was about 1/2 the price as the the same one they sell in the Mac stores! Works great so far. Only advice is maybe format the drive as mac rather than Fat32 so you can share it using your Macbook rather than have to plug it into the Macbook directly. Was this review helpful?

jose from Belleville, IL
Good product, fast delivery, compact size, bit slow but I'm sure that's due to the usb interface along with 5400 rpm but I already knew this b4 purchase. Was this review helpful?
