Good design, compact, lightweight, silent, and very fast compared to other USB HDs I've been using, although I'm just using the USB 2.0 version since I don't have any USB 3.0 port.

Comments about LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (500 GB):
The measurements listed are not correct (0.7 in), and as their are some issues format for Windows or Mac, but download a driver from Lacie. Other than that it seems to work fine although it is still brand new.

Comments about LaCie Rikiki USB 3.0 (500 GB):
I primarily use this hard drive for work as a freelance designer. I use a Mac at home but a lot of firms use PC's so I needed something that could simply exchange my files. This device allows the user to duel format the drive for PC and Mac using a partition. This feature is the best thing I've seen in a long time. It's a beautiful object that's insanely small with tons of space and the 3.0 USB allows for quick transfers.
