The Pros:Sleek, minimalist design. Sturdy, well-built enclosure to protect the drive. Built-in LED indicator light isn't overwhelming in darkened rooms.
The Cons:The A/C adapter is known to have problems and die. You can backorder it if fails for free. Drive is completely enclosed - lacks ventilation holes. Designed to sit flat - can't be positioned on its side.
