Input: I purchased this drive to keep a backup of my Aperture library while I am on scuba vacations. I would hate to lose my MacBook Pro AND all my photos from the trip so this is extra insurance to have a copy of everything. The drive is fairly compact however there are some portable drives out there that are smaller if you need something really compact. Included is a nice rubber cover that will protect the drive from drops but it does take away some of the portability factor. There are three included cables so you won't need anything extra to get going.<br />I plugged the drive in via the Firewire 800 and waited for it to mount. It took about 15 seconds to mount and then was ready to go. It is bus powered so it does not require any separate power supply, just plug into your computer and let the drive mount to use. I began copying some files to test the drive. It was very fast and worked just as promised, preformatted for the Mac and ready to go. I will report back on speed and longer term performance as I use the drive more but so far it is a worthy purchase.

Nice Plug N Play Drive
