The only thing I don't like about the drive is that it doesn't have a power switch. It auto-senses whether or not your computer is on, and turns itself on and off. This is less than optimal. I prefer to control the power myself, which means I have to unplug the USB cable to turn it off. Also a word of caution if you plan to use this drive to store large files (such as movies), you will need to reformat the drive from FAT32 to NTFS.
I miss the big blue button on the front of my Maxtor that could be configured to launch your backup software, but apart from that, this is a great no-frills drive for the price.
