Product Description

The Seagate Pocket Hard Drive is a standard high-speed USB 2.0, bus-powered device. It provides a true "plug and play" connection that supports hot plugging so you can connect or disconnect the drive even when your computer is on. The drive receives power directly through the USB connector so there is no need for an external power source or batteries.The high-speed USB 2.0 is backward compatible with the older USB 1.1 standard; however, USB 1.1 only supports transfer rates of 12 Mbits/sec. To take advantage of the speed of your Pocket Hard Drive, connect it to a computer that supports high-speed USB 2.0 connections. High-speed USB 2.0 supports data rates up to 480 Mbits/sec (40 times faster than USB 1.1).

Replace your 1Gb/2Gb with this baby

Awesome product from Seagate. Seagate have always topped the hard drive concepts and with this product they just rocketed themselves up. With Altoids round box making it a perfect carrying case, u need not worry to have the disk always placed in your dirty pants with keys/coins.

If the blue lights bothering you just...

What more can you ask for...?

I had already researched the Seagate 5.0 GB at Amazon for $89.95 when I happen to see the 6.0 GB at Sam's Club for $99.95. Plug and Play worked fine. I needed a larger device than a floppy to transfer data from work to home and vice versa, as well as photos to other family computers. I took one of the other reviewers ideas and store it in an Altoids can. Even though it is pocketable it is a hard drive with delicate insides, I suspect some of the one star reviews are due to it being treated like...
