This product comes along at kinda a weird time given that it works based on the USB 2.0 standard rather than the newer, faster, better USB 3.0 standard, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. I've always found it very frustrating that you can't simply plug your laptop into your desktop via USB and just drag and drop files between them, but now you can! You can also share an optical drive which could be a HUGE boon for netbook users who only use an optical drive to install software once in a blue moon.

  • Wifi protected setup.

    Thats what the button is!

  • Can you transfer files while the pc is off? like if a computer dies could you just get the files from it? probobly not huh

  • ...what annotations?

  • so this is how computers do sex !

  • Why didn't anyone come up with this earlier?

  • This isn't a brand-new concept (I had to buy something called a File Tornado to transfer files from my old laptop when its screen cracked back in September of '09), but it is a very handy tool. You're also right about it being strange and frustrating that there isn't a way to simply connect two computers with a simple cable and transfer files across them.

  • I got one of these too, but I can't seem to get my desktop to recognize my asus notebook.

    Any tips?

    I'm running windows 7 on both.

  • 1:40 to protect from bending it

  • Dont you have to rebox these and sell them ?

    Cause i think you broke the box xD
