Samsung S2 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive HXMU032DA/M22 (Piano Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this on the 15th January (one day before estimated arrival, because Amazon is the god of online shopping), plugged it into my Mac and it was recognized right away. Deleted the software on the drive (since it was for Windows) and so far haven't had any problems with it.
Pros:
- Painless plug and play, no forced software use (at least with mac)
- Compatible with Mac
- Nonslip leather case included
- Doesn't heat up
- Pretty solid. I moved it around a couple of times while transferring 25GB+ folders and no bad sounds or interruptions.
- Quiet. You can hear something going on, but it's not loud.
- Good aesthetics and good price for the amount of space (I paid about $90 for slick looking 500gb)
Cons:
- It's a fingerprint magnet, but I mostly keep it in the case anyway
- I'm not crazy about "shimmer" or "glitter" and the circle designs on the top are slightly glittery... it's really subtle, you can hardly notice it, but I'm just saying...
I'm waiting on a Windows netbook, I'll test it out more between OSs. Will keep updated if any problems arise.
***Update: Works great with Windows 7 (starter).. plugged in and recognized right away. No problems transferring stuff between mac and windows.
***Update: Also works great with linux (Ubuntu).
