WHATS IN THE BOX?
Apart from the drive itself, there is a some paperwork and a cable.
USING THE DRIVE
Just connect the drive and it is ready to use in a few seconds once Windows has identified it and installed any drivers it might need.
Windows 7 shows the empty drive as 465 GB free.
Running some tests with HD Tune Pro showed some excellent results.
I thought it might be interesting to run the tests using both the desktop adaptor and the laptop adaptor.

So the desktop adaptor performed slightly better than the laptop adaptor. Those are still excellent results though. Although this drive is slower than the Iomega 2TB USB 3.0 desktop drive.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This drive is small and can easily fit into your pocket or bag.
Currently there is only a 500GB model, which is pretty small these days, but if you need a fast portable drive right now then you should take a serious look at this one.
Price wise, in the US it retails for around $130 and in the UK for around £75 but as usual look around as there are always deals to be had.
