The price was $129 after rebates and I thought it looked like a great deal. After using it for a day and reading about it online, I'm not convinced. I've copied about 100GB to the drive and for the most part it has worked without problem but I have noticed that it won't copy a couple of my very large video files over. Although I have been able to move one 13.6GB file over, attempts to move a couple of other large files have ended up with a failure. This worries me. I have 14 days to try it out and return it if I don't like it. But of course, I'm going on vacation so I need to decide in the next day or two. Anybody have any experience with this drive. I know this topic has been beaten to death. I would like something I can count on but I may consider burning stuff to DVD as the best way to make sure the stuff is backed up more permanently.</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" FAMILY="SANSSERIF" SIZE="2"></FONT><BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour</HTML>
