At less than 80p per disc, I only bought one pack because I was wary of the quality. I needn't have worried... picture and sound quality are brilliant. I have been copying videos I taped off the tv... my recorder (DAEWOO DF8150 DVD Recorder +RW and VCR Combi, with MP3.JPEG & Picture CD compatible) which I bought at the same time is superb... it has enhanced the quality of these recordings significantly! I will be purchasing more without hesitation!

I loved this for the first week but after that it stopped working and was no longer recognised in any USB drives. I hadn't dropped it or done anything that I shouldn't have with it.
I can't send it back as it has sensitive data on it so my money is wasted.

Just upgraded to this model from a previous Buffalo Drive and couldn't be happier, the transfer rate is quicker than anything else I have used, totally powered by the USB cable so no bulky power supply, shock proof and all for under £100. I especially like the new cable tidy they include as it is such a pain trying to find the cable in a bag to connect the drive when you are on an airplane, with this drive the cable is strung round the drive and never gets lost. Overall i'd rate this as the best value for money and best performing portable drive I have seen.

Just got mine today. It's excellent. Plug and play, with a whopping 320gigs for something that's thinner and lighter than my textbooks.
Much as i love my laptop, i find it can be a pain in the ear to lug around from from home, to work, to college, then back home... especially when there's computer access at all 3 locations.
Transfer is super fast as well - unlike my USB sticks which can sometimes struggle a bit.
Very quiet, and fits into my tough old PDA case (now that PDAs are kinda obsolete with all the iPhones lol).
value of this item is excelent even with postage 1/2 what i paid at jessops. service superb due to a senior moment my delivery address i sent was incorrect i changed this the next day and still received the item the following day. i now need a battery for my camcorder hope k.k electronics sell them

The western digital size passport/mybook drives are too small for this case, however they can be held within due to the elastic strp holding it snug. The case opens up in two one side for the drive and the other for cables or other stuff you'd like to keep. I prefer to keep the included cable with the passport drive which also helps to stop the small drive moving around. On the other side I keep a longer double headed lindy cable (used for older machines where one usb slot is not enough power, so two slots are required) this stops the drive moving the vertically and not put a strain on the strap.
The outer material is a tough protective shell which has a woven feel, to enusre you can keep a grip. Though I would have expected interally ... Read More:

I've had this drive for about 4 months and I am just starting to get very serious IO errors. The drive is clicking away on certain sectors, which are now unrecoverable. the data is lost.
These drives *might* be ok if you leave them in one place and don't ever touch them. But don't ever try to move them. They seem to be extremely fragile. Don't trust your data to them.

I have bought this external drive about 2 months back and till now havent had any problems. It works as expected and for the price, I think this is better than few others available in the market. However time will say.
Few things that I feel Philips can improve on this drive are:
1. Noise
2. Heating problem (It heats up to quite a high temperature)
3. Problem while taking it out. Windows sometimes gives a message that Drive is not responding/busy and cannot be stopped at the moment.
Other than these I cannot really think of anything.
I would definitely recommend this drive to everyone.
