Perfect portable drive.......2006-03-15

Open the box, plug it in. That's it. It works perfectly. Also portable and not very expensive.

Great little drive.......2005-08-05

I found this drive after I'd been researching on what the smallest external drive was that was over a gig and wasn't like a memory stick. This has a decent 40 GB and very negligible weight to it.

I have a Mac laptop and at first, bought the USB version of the FireLIte but regretted it almost instantly because the USB ports I had weren't strong enough to power the drive. I emailed SmartDisk and they told me I had to buy the "optional" adapter. That wasn't an option for me since I wanted a VERY portable plug-and-play drive so I returned the USB version for this FireWire version and it's exactly what I was looking for. It shows right up on my desktop once it's plugged in and barely weighs anything even with the FireWire cable so I bring it everywhere with me cuz I can. I highly recommend this product if you have the same requirements I did.

beautiful drive.......2003-01-15

Used it for 24 hours so far so can't comment on reliability but an aesthetically beautiful little piece of machinery. Nice lights too--my kids were wowed! Much smaller than I anticipated and comes with it's own little carrying pouch. If you don't know this, Firewire drives get power from the cable, so doesn't generally need another power source (although AC adapter is supplied). Macintosh and Sony (laptops) have this connection standard. Others, rarely but you can add the connection via a Firewire card in your PC.
