This futuristic-looking drive, with its aluminum chassis and meshed metal front is downright good looking, and one that you won't mind housing on your desk.

More and more mobile executives are required to store and/or manage large video files and this compact yet quite capable drive is great for today's workload.

It comes with a black leather carrying case for extra style on the go.

Most other reviewers might not notice this, but I really like the length of the USB/firewire cords. They are just the right length so that you don't have to bind the extra length in order to get them out of the way. They also happen to match the cords that come along with a MAC. There is a fan mounted on the bottom, providing cooling to the drive and even that's cool looking.

The speed at which this drive transfers is impressive and quick enough for most pressed-for-time mobile executives, at a 100+ MB/second transfer rate.
