The Media Drive is great. I use it to store many many of my pictures and my music. My computer was on overload with the pictures. Yes, I can put them of cd but it is much easier with the Media Drive instead of having to insert a cd everytime that I want to print. Also it is not fun at all to dig through cd's. Thanks to HP and Amazon, I am a happy individual.

This was surprisingly easy. I literally just unpacked it and put it in my PC. It came up and was ready. It has been running for over 3 months now is working great. It is fast and quiet.

Have had this drive for a couple of months. Got it to go with my new HP computer, so I am running Vista. It's nice to have a removable hard drive that doesn't take up extra desk space.
