This simple little drive is available in six exotic shades, as well as sober black and silver models. Our sample was Eucalyptus Green, but in our view the tasteful metallic design looks great in any colour.

Verbatim's latest line of portable hard disks add a splash of colour to what is normally a quite generic looking product. Our review sample came in bright purple, but you also have a whole rainbow of colours to choose from, including orange, blue, pink, green, silver and black.

The Verbatim 500Gb Store n Go are small and very convenient because they are self powered. The cable is a bit short, but OK. Picked them because of the firewire 800 - at least twice as fast as USB 2.0 drives. Came formatted HFS Journeled - perfect for OS X. So far so good.

It served its purpose when I used it

Latest update 15th Nov: 7 years warranty in the US, only 2years warranty in Europe I want a compact, light weight, portable hard disk with reasonable capacity to back up data and files from my PCs and netbook. So I shopped around for similar product by other manufacturers.

compact; 2x faster than USB2.0 drives; 7 years limited warranty (US; Europe 2 years only

Factory formatted FAT32 needs to be converted to NTFS to make it much faster

Iam really happy with this hard drive. It does what we expect and the price is really attractive. The usb 3 is really fast compare to my old usb 2 drive. Iam not really keen on the color of the plastic but i'll deal with it.

Bought one of these a while ago to use for school. I keep it on my keychain so I pretty much take it anywhere.. and it is still alive. Very durable and reliable.

I wanted to move all my mp3 music off my computer and onto an external hard drive. After reading the reviews for hard drives on Amazon I had to wonder why on earth anyone would even consider buying one. There was complaint after complaint about reliability, compatibility, and customer support.

I specifically bought this to replace the one I lost that was just like it. When I purchased the first one, nearly 2 years prior, I had no idea which one was a good one. I checked it out as best I could at the time and bought one of these.

It works properly with readyboost. Decent speed. It's kinda huge and red and the blue led is bright. I purchased this someplace else for $ 9.99.
