 Seems like a great productAugust - 06 - 2010
 Rate : Exellent
by lazaew
The product comes with a Dmg file within the main drive that can be deleted. It is not required to be installed as this is a plug and play drive, but the program that is included can clone the mac incase you ever need to transfer files to a new mac, back up folders and sync folders. Problem is, you need to use these options to have files encrypted and thus you cannot delete files on the mac without deleting the encrypted ones on the HD. Otherwise, all you can do is copy and paste which is what some people want in a HD

The drive's color matches that of the Macbook pro 2010 and the usb 2.0 cable that is included matches or exceeds the whiteness of Apple's magsafe cord and iPod touch recharging wire. The cord is a bit thicker, feels sturdy but looks bulky for the rather short length, which is about 8 inches.

When the Hd is in use, the light blinks extremely rapidly so this may cause distraction to some people who are easily bothered.(not really a problem, but I don't see the point of why the light must be flashing so quickly I covered the light with a sticky note)

There is a slight hum due to the 5400 rpm of the drive and is not as noticeable as the Western Digital Mybook essential 7200 rpm which had a roaring sound. The transfer speed of the two drives is not really noticable. (I returned it for the canvio) I think you would need an ssd to really notice transfer speeds. The drive vibrates somewhat but when placed at an uneven angle, and I can hear strange sounds at an angle.

Updated after a month or so of use.
I highly recommend that you get a portable HD as price is not too big of a difference. The speed might be a little slower, but 7200 and 5400 do not really seem a large difference in transfer speed. (I transferred 400 GB to both drives on the day that I got them) A portable drive is much thinner and lighter and does not require an external power supply. The Canvio drive has been reliable and has a reasonable transfer speed. If you want encryption for the HD then just create a sparse disk image through disk utility of however much size you want on the disk. You can then just place your files in the folder that will expand up to whatever size you set.
