That thing is uglier than sin, but totally worth it for $55 + tax... Too bad I don't have one of those coupons because $80 isn't quite good enough for me.

What I hate on 3.5 External Drive is you have to plug it to the AC outlet, which means you have to carry two cable (1 USB and 1 AC + adaptor).
Convenience becomes hassle

Top speed, in Theory:
USB 1.1 - 12mb/sec
USB 2.0 - 480mb/sec

500GB over usb 1.1 ~ 92 hours
VS.
500GB over usb 2.0 ~ 2.3 hours

So, yeah, I personally dread transferring anything big over 1.1 anymore.
A better suggestion would be to take the drive out of the external case and make it internal with SATA or PATA, if you have a desktop.
Anyone know what the internal drive is?

You can get internal HDDs for cheaper, especially if you need a SATA. Why bother with breaking this apart. Its not even a seagate.
