1 Great Alternative to Carrying a Laptop Around!
I love this thing! Everyone in my office was ordering laptops but I asked for this instead. Obviously you must have a computer to plug it into when you reach your destination, and you can't work en route, but it's easy, fast, reliable and considerably less costly, not to mention easily transportable in a carryon bag or even your pocket. Comes with high-quality (real) leather case. Prefers USB 2.0 but compatible with USB 1.1. Data transfer speed is significantly faster with 2.0. Virtually no installation, just plug it in. Preferred connection uses TWO USB ports OR one USB combined with one power connection. 2 USB cables and a power adapter are included. I don't have 2 USB ports available in one of my locations and use it successfully without the power connection, even though this is not the manufacturer's recommendation. Did not find much documentation on line, nor was there much shipped with the product. Have not yet tested the claim that it can be dropped and not damaged, but I carry it around a lot and will no doubt find out the truth of the matter one of these days. 4 GB capacity makes it a viable alternative for back up storage as well. Buy it!
2 I Bought This External Drive and Love It!
I bought this device and I would like to give my honest opinion.
As a network consultant for the US Government, I travel a lot and always need to carry my laptop whereever I go. Now I simply slip my Zoom Drive in my coat breast pocket and I don't need the carry the laptop any more. What a convenience! File transfers are as fast as using my powerful PC at work. With 40 GB space, I even store my family's photos, music and movie files for save keeping. I haven't had any problems what-so-ever. I will definetely buy 2 more as X'mas gifts for my bosses at work!
