Comments about LaCie 500GB Rikiki Go Portable Hard Drive:
Easy, real quick formatting installation, then plug n play.
What people say about the "sharp" EDGES is half true; yes the edges are not rounded, however they are not that sharp you would hurt yourself, not sharper than on my previous Lacie.
The short CHORD is not a problem for me since I'm using it to back up files, but if you want to use it while working in your lap, it's too short. And I don't know how good it is that you have to twist the chord to plug it in (depends on what computer, I have a Mac where the "USB holes" are horizontal)
- What's good is that you can easily replace the chord to another, longer one.
I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a small durable external hard drive, that has a great design too!
