It works August 11, 2010
Stuff and Things
I'm only storing photos and I've only had it a month. I'm sure it's not the fastest unit out there and I'm sure it's not the slowest either. But it's relatively inexpensive. I like that it's more durable than some other products like it. It's compact, easy to start-up, and easy to use. It requires two USB ports (one to power the unit and one to transfer info) so you may have to unplug other USB devices if your computer doesn't have enough ports.
Very small and easy! August 5, 2010

I'VE BOUGHT TWO OF THESE IN THE LAST YEAR. BOTH ARE WORKING PERFECTLY. ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. I'D BUY ANOTHER ONE NOW IF I NEEDED IT.
 Do NOT purchase this if you plan on using it on road trips. August 1, 2010

I purchased this "rugged" drive to use as an external backup to my photographs during a 19-day trip to the British Isles. I am a part-time professional photographer, and wanted to ensure my images were always dual-backed up abroad. I also had a laptop, and limited memory cards. My workflow included copying files from the card to the laptop, then the laptop to the external drive.
For the first few days, everything worked great. The drive was living up to its reputation. It was stored in my camera bag, along with the non-rugged laptop and a bunch of other equipment. Then one night I plugged it in, same as always, and it simply didn't mount. It whirred all right, but never mounted.
I spent hours here and there trying to troubleshoot it with limited internet connections. I tried uninstalling the phantom drives (win 7), tried safe mode, tried computer management, nothing would show the drive.
So I had to live for 2 weeks worrying constantly if my images on the laptop would end up making it home okay -- laptops are prone to fail, and my 4,000+ images and a few dozen HD videos (totalling over 120GBs easily) were in ONE place. Sure, I saved what I could on my cards, but I had no intention of using them that way. The external should have worked.
I'm currently dealing with an open ticket, so I will update this review to see how they handle the situation. I certainly have concerns with sending it back with over a thousand images from my personal vacation, so we'll see where it goes.
The drive itself is built cheaply. The thick rubber belt is great - but when you take it off, you're left with a flimsy shell of thin aluminum that feels like an empty soda can. There are 3 thin metal clamps on each side, with a sticker on the middle one that reads "WARRANTY VOID IF BROKEN" -- which means I couldn't even try troubleshooting this on the road.
It says it is designed by Neil Poulton -- so Neil, if you are reading this, I'd suggest that you make sure the materials you build a drive out of should be rugged through and through -- not just the rubber belt.
Overall, I am highly disappointed with the product, and I am hoping very much customer service pulls through.
Does not Mount July 31, 2010

The drive worked for about a month, and then stopped working. It will not mount.
