    Great product, few flaws

    Pros: Plug and play, no software, super simple to use, SNOW LEOPARD capable, matches the Alum series Mac's (if you're in to that sort of thing), extremely light/small, feels very solid, extremely quick upload/download for USB 2.0.

    Cons: Metallic paint comes flakes off very easily, no off switch (have to unplug it to turn it off).     …More

    I purchased the eGo Helium along with my new MacBook Air. It was simple to setup and start using. I throw it in my briefcase and take it with me to work or into my backpack for the weekend. I have dropped it, I have beat it up and it remains rock solid. A great addition to my apple family. …More

    I bought the product to back up my hard drive using time machine. However, about midway through the transfer, it simply stopped. Now the computer can't even access it or register when it's connected, and the Hard drive just makes a strange noise as it speeds up and slows down. Needless to say, I'm returning it and getting something else. …More

    this is a nice little hard drive, but it is not durable i dropped simply one feet over the ground now it has a long crack but it still works.

It makes a sound when you plug it in but you can hardly ever hear it. it is so small when I go on planes i sometimes forget that it is still plugged in …More
