Its sleek and shiney. Get a short USB cord, the longer ones (3 feet?) don’t have the juice to always power the bad boy up. A real short 1 foot one does the job.
It comes with some back up software, which I haven’t used yet. I saved all the folders with data in them that come with it and just made a new folder called DATA that I stick stuff in. I carry around all my MP3s that I listen to on it, instead of on the hard drive on my computer and a back up folder or two of my website for ‘safe’ keeping.
I don’t have any problems just plugging it and loading the songs on it to Winamp to listen to.
I got it at Office Depot for $79 on sale. YES!!!
