i m using xcraft with seagate 120gb model 5400.3 i feel it's not a good choice coz rumours say that xcraft usb is actually working at 2.0 and not high speed 2.0 so u will suffer quite a lot if u transfer large files a lot (above 1gb)
if u hv the budget, go for sarotech

QUOTE(iCute @ Jul 19 2007, 05:30 PM) so how much u had paid for the xcraft? that time was rm80 the only best thing with it is the bag provided. the shinny surface attracts thumb prints, vertical stand will make it more vulnerable to bad sectors due to accidental falls, even the ventilation holes r not full frame. it's only at the front. the 1 touch backup is just a hype. u need software to be installed n constantly running in the background to hv that feature which to me is uselss coz the background process will hog resource. overall, find a better option.
