    I think I paid $109 for the 320 a month or so ago. Drive is working great.

    I had never previously seen one of these in person. I was in Circuit City the other day because of their "fire sale" (trying to quietly warn people that they were still getting ripped off, even with !!20% EVERYTHING!!) and was amazed at just how tiny these things are.

    You could easily roll around with this thing in your back pocket if need be. It's a little embarrassing that I could pocket more storage than my main tower.

    Cheers,

    These work just fine on a Macbook. My roomate has one, on his macbook, and it works just fine with the usb power.

    I have one hooked to my powered usb hub, and it works just fine through there as well. No power issues.

    Definitely a great drive. larger storage (I have a 320), and super compact, as #2 says, it fits in your back pocket.
    Super easy for travel.

    #2 & #4, you recommend putting it in your backpocket. What happens if you forget its there and sit on it. How durable is it?
