Looks very nice and slim, comes pre formatted in Fat32 and ready to go.

It has a USB cable included but requires two USB ports to power the hard drive which could cause a problem if you don't have these free, especially if your laptop doesn't have two ports close together.

EDIT: I have tried this and it works with one USB cable connected on my Mac Mini but most computers i have tried require 2. Im assuming it depends on the power output of the USB Port.

The metal case doesn't clip down very and can be easily lifted without much force. After some using some electrical tape this problem was resolved.
