This review is from: HP Pocket Media Drive 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Black/Silver) (Personal Computers) I received this drive today (Nov. 10, 2009). It is a 5400 RPM drive and uses .6 amps operating and 1 amp on spin-up. Apple's disk utility calls it a "WDC WD50 00BEVT-22ZAT0 Media", which is no doubt manufactured by Western Digital.

The cable has one connector for the drive and two (2) connectors for the computer. Again I assume this is for extra power on computers that limit USB power but on my MacBook Pro it runs fine with only one connection. It comes formatted for Windows, but of course no problem formatting it for a Mac. I ran a benchmark on it and got the following maximum results:

This review is from: HP Pocket Media Drive 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Black/Silver) (Personal Computers) The product was new in the box and the price and service were terrific. It works perfectly and I would highly recommend it for an easy backup solution. It also comes with cables for USB2 connection as well as a case for portability and can be used even if you do not have the HP slot. 11 of 12 people found the following review helpful: Compact size, easy to use HD, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
