- Cool: Magnesium has the same characteristics as aluminum - it keeps an enclosure cool, dissipates the heat - no noisy cooling fan required!
- Green: Magnesium is an earthly matter. It is produced from sea water, brines, and magnesium-bearing minerals, which offer unlimited reserves

Comments about Freecom Mobile Drive Mg (1.5TB):
The drive has a fantastic visual appeal and feels physically, to be high quality.
It's very easy to use as there is no annoying unremovable software that takes over, its just a drive.
However, one expects a portable hard drive to be silent. It's not at all silent, it makes a loud noise every ten seconds. Consistently. For a lot of people this is simply unacceptable and there's no way I will be continuing to use this product or recommend it.
In the short time I used it the drive disconnected and then was not recognised again either. Very poor impressions of this product and the noise has been reported in other reviews elsewhere on the web.
