More Information

just wanted to know if anyone has one and if they have had any problems with them???

as it is bigger, does it require a secondary power source??

i was originally looking at getting a seagate usb 2.0 portable external hard drive 160gb, but it seems you can get higher capacity for around the same price. obviously they are not going to be as compact and there are downsides to getting a physically larger hd, but i was wondering if it was worth it?

any feedback would be great.
