Very good review, thanks for posting it! :)

Just a question.. that case is made from aluminum, or something made by plastic, aluminum look-like?

@mandrei83 Thanks! Plastic made to look like aluminum

I have just ordered the 500 GB model for my MBP, in Germany its about 107 EUR now. The main reason buying it is the Firewire 800 connection, I see no advantage using the oldschool slow USB 2.0 connection but pay more than hundred bucks for an external drive as you could also buy a different WD drive with 1 TB storage space for the same price (but almost 50% slower)

My Passport(tm) AV Portable and WD My Passport(tm) Studio are amazing drives but w/o USB 3.0 support they not interesting for me. Do you know how long to fill 640GB via obsolete USB 2.0? i know :) i have a My Passport (tm) Essential 500GB.

@ETwo2EFour this is a very good point, though not many people have USB 3.0 yet. They will soon though.

Very nice drive (and a unboxing)!

(Wh8ing for Part2 to be processed by youtube x))

PS:

Try that: right click on My Computer>Manage> Storage>Disk Management and try to make new partition by right clicking on the volume thingy.. (I guess the name on the drive will be the same that the name of the part.).

Hope it works.

@Winsucker yea thanks. I had a brain freeze when the drive didn't work out of the box. Just needed a quick format. I thought it was my laptop
