Average Rating: 
Rating: - Great for XP, not so much for Vista
The drive works great under XP, but has severe problems with Vista. I now own 4 of these drives and it took a while to figure out why I was having problems. I first started using the drives under Vista and they seemed to work well, but suddenly Vista started freezing up and after a power off and reboot Vista chkdsk couldn't fix the drive.

Rating:  - formatting was a chore
connect to an XP or Linux machine to format. Took a few hours to format using vista. Only 4 stars because, although it works great, it has no competitor at 1.5tb to compare to.
