    Looks pretty sleek, I haven't personally seen something like this before. A pretty good amount of storage too!

    Its not a bad price even for a basic 500gb drive, I need another drive for my Wii wonder if I can integrate this into my base stand.

    seems like a very nice and innovative product. i'm currently in the market for an external 500gb HDD as well. i just wish this one was a little cheaper. i don't need all those bells and whistles :(
