Very Impressed by Z  5 Stars
November 16, 2009
The manufacturer recommends using one of the supplied split input cables to transfer data and power the unit. I consistently use it with a single usb-mini cable with no issues. I transferred a 3Gb file to a Transcend thumb drive and then the same file to this SSD to prove to my officemate that it was a cool as a 1.8" SSD should be. Epic win for the SSD. The transfer time was less than half to the SSD using only a standard USB Mini cable. I use this drive to back up my files and as a roaming Media disk to go from computer to computer. I've had it for over 6 months and have had no issues. I would not only buy it again, but I would recommend that no one else get it, so I can be the only one with the Uber-Drive....That is, until they come out with a higher cap. unit. Then I'm all over that one...

No-issue impulsive show-ware... by Venkatesh Ramakrishnan  4 Stars
September 16, 2009
Sleek design and no issues.
Performance:
Expect real world performance lower than manufacturer specs and benchmarks with very narrow-and-focussed scenarios.
Reliability:
Granted there are no moving parts.
With so much of hype around MLC/SLCs and block withering,
I dont feel at ease with SSDs in general.
I never backed-up my HDDs; I have started backing up my SSDs!!!
Time will tell.
Will I recommond:
Once you are done with showing-off to your friends,
won't feel a big difference (except for the size) between this device
and for example WD-Passport.
Nevertheless, I know I will buy 256Gb version once released.
Bottome line:
No issues; Nice show-ware; Value is subjective;

This is a great product! by Roger Sluder (Roanoke, VA United States) 4 Stars
March 05, 2009
This is a great little drive. It is significantly faster than the current 64GB flash drives and has twice the space. It is small enough to fit easily in your pocket. It requires either 2 USB ports, or 1 eSATA and 1 USB port, because it draws power from one USB port and transfers data using the other port (Comes with 2 y-cables, one for USB only, the other for eSATA/USB). Mine worked perfectly right out of the box. I liked the first one so much, I bought a 2nd one to use as an off-site backup for my home computers. The only reason I gave this product only 4 stars is because it is currently quite pricey.
