Customer Reviews

Mac User Warning1
As others have written, the entire SmartDisk USB line doesn't work properly with Mac laptops. I got one and it works fine with my wife's PC laptops, but won't even boot on my PowerBook G4. SmartDisk's tech support told me that the silver PowerBook line can't push enough juice through the USB cable to power the unit. So basically I have a silver paperweight -- nice. Avoid this product line at all costs.

Poor Quality1
Product has issues. Worked for one month with my Mac (OSx). Then one day after a reboot, it refused to show up on desktop. It began to beep. Disk utility recognized it, but did not offer options to verify, repair etc. Smartdisk tech support said it's a problem with power -- that the unit was no longer able to draw enough power from the mac throug the USB cable as it is supposed to -- they said they're aware that this was a common problem raised by many customers.
As advised, I bought an AC unit ($36) -- the unit stopped beeping, but continues not to show up. If I send it in to Smartdisk for repair, I will lose all data. Upon research, I have seen many other similar complaints about this product. One customer tested the hard drive with another housing unit and was able to find all data -- proving his was a problem with the Smartdisk housing not the memory. But Smartdisk warranty will not preserve data in their repair.
Chief Compliants: USB cable doesn't draw power as it should, and the thing refuses to show up on desktop. Buy something else more reliable.

Great product5
Reliable, fast and the backup software is easy to use. If you are a consultant and must use notebooks, it is a must have.
