  1. Your review is good, and well done, but why didn't you mention the biggest problem of this drive? The wrong usb port on the drive itself. They put an "A" usb port on the device, which is what is used on the computer end. This forces you to use a "special" usb cable that has the same end on both ends. A normal usb cable has the "A" and "B" end. All devices and drives need to have the "B" usb port on them, so that a normal usb cable (commonly available) can be used. This design ruins what would otherwise be a good backup drive. These companies need to stop trying to force us to buy specialty cables, when we all have an abundant supply of normal usb "A" to "B" cables! Hopefully Silicon Power company is listening........
