I got this drive as a tote around for Video and Photos. I’m both a Mac and PC user so my insight is unique on this product. First thing I noted after opening the package is the small size and weight of this drive. With the curved lightweight body you could easily [...]

So I got one of these little bad boys (the cheaper model) from the apple store the day after they came out. With a student discount it came out to be just under $600 after tax, so I figured why wait for it to be available on [...]

Great home/media alternative, a review from a PC user - 4 1/2 stars

I switched to Mac and all I got was this stupid smile
