Product Shot 1 The Pros:Convenient integrated USB cord - snaps into the device when not in use. Velvety black ThinkPad enclosure. 2.5" drive - more convenient form factor (lighter, more compact), energy efficient (can be powered through the USB connection).

The Cons:Very little difference in price between the 160 and 320GB versions. High cost for the capacity. Lacks faster and more advanced FireWire / eSATA interfaces.
