Personal Review: SimpleTech by Hitachi Signature Mini 500 GB
USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive FS-U25/500E (Espresso)
It's small, compact, quiet, fast, light weight, space saving, racy looking,
different colors for easy ID, rubberized coating for a sure grip, stackable,
extremely portable, with easy instructions to convert to Mac.
I have 4 Minis. I bought the first one over a year ago. I have one for my
Time Machine back up, one for music, one for photos/videos, & a 500G to
back up the others, that I keep in a fire proof safe.
Some suggestions for those who gave bad reviews:

1. When the drive is running, leave it alone! Don't pick it up or move it
around. Just leave it sitting flat.
2. You must dismount the drive properly! See FAQ on Simple Tech's web
site.
3. Don't be in such a hurry! Wait several seconds to be sure the drive has
fully stopped.
4. Don't yank the USB plug out. You might create a tiny spark. Sneak the
plug out gently, especially if it's windy or there's static electricity in the air.
5. As for the lack of power complaints...The shorter the USB cable, the
greater the power. Try using your camera cable. At about 50+G of info,
the external drive may need up to 1 Amp to get going. If the Mini is not
seen by the computer, unplug everything - Mini first. Then attach both
USB plugs of the "Y" cable & reconnect - Mini last. Best to get an
externally powered USB hub. Belkin makes a nice little white 4 (& 7) port.
Each port of the Belkin puts out ½ Amp (500mA). I can run several Minis
at once, without any power problems.
6. Lastly, if your not backed up at least twice, you're not backed up at all.
Use a little common sense & save yourself a lot of grief.
The Mini is a great little product!!! Be nice to it, and it'll be nice to you.
