    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).

    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

    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. This has to be by far the best hard drive i have ever used. 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

    I have 3 of these 500GB drives and I really like them. I use them with SuperDuper for my Mac. The case does scratch pretty easy but do match the uni-body MacBooks. More

    I've had this product for over a year and I absolutely love it! I have a macbook and the drive works without formating it or doing anything complicated. Just plug it in and you're good to go! I'm not very good with the more technical aspects of computers and I found this very easy to use. More

    I have used this Portable Hard Drive for six months and so far I have had no problems with it. It is very durable and works great for on the run laptop users. I have dropped it plenty of time and it still works great- also Very Fast. One thing that I think would make it work better is if it only used one USB port but Its a great device anyways. =D More
