Totally wicked!

Pros:

1. Very high "Wow!" factor - I had to fight off some really big guys at the office to hang on to possession.
2. Small, lightweight, sleek and shiny
3. Readout panel is always on, with or without power, so you can easily see how much space you have left.
4. Big 320GB capacity (although 22GB of it is used up with Nero software, so there's actually 298 GB of space)
5. Idiot proof plug and play, with included USB cord, so you're up and running almost as quickly as you can turn on the computer and plug in the cable.
6. Understandable instruction guide in several languages.

Cons:

1. Shiny = fingerprints, but easily wipeable
2. Doesn't work with USB extensions.
3. The cable is too short to reach from a floor standing CPU to the top of your desk.
4. Would have appreciated a sleeve or carry case in the package.



I'm using this to store photographs, and at approximately 2.5 MB per photo, it's saving me a lot of hard drive space. I love the portability and easy operation, and especially the display showing how much space I have left.


Conclusion:

Worth every cent.

Yes, you need to backup your system before it crashes (and no one ever does.) I was looking for a lightweight hard drive with some real capacity, but which would work as effortless as my Macbook Pro.    The Verbatim Insight is simply excellent in every respect. Easy to install. Backs up my info with no problem and with space to spare. Easy to partition. Just easy to use, and gorgeous to boot.     I haven't had any issues with undue noise. It's whisper-quiet, …

The Verbatim insight is a very small hard drive with all the features you'd want in a portable external HD:    It is light  it is thin (fit without problem in the side pocket of my netbook's neoprene case)  It powers itself off of USB (no extra cords to carry or outlet to find)  It is quiet  With a glance you can see the total amount of space remaining on the always-on LCD.  It is rugged. I did not do a whole test, but I did accidentally …

The Verbatin Insight is an ok Hard Drive. I have a Seagate FreeAgent Go 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive-Black which I use as my main backup hard drive. Thus, the Verbatin will be serving me as the hard drive I take when I travel.     The drive looks very sleek with it's curved, glossy and elegant exterior. It is thin and small, but the Seagate Portable Hard Drive is about an inch smaller. It comes with a small USB cable to connect to your computer. It also has a very …

I received my Verbatim portable hard drive the other day. It could not be simpler. I unboxed it, look at the directions, and plugged in the supplied USB cable to my PC and to the portable hard drive, then it synched up. That was it, now I could drag and drop files.    I then went into "My Computer" clicked on the portable hard drive, clicked on the Nero Back-it Up program and it loaded on my PC. I then ran a full back up. Extremely simple, I am now very happy with this product.    …

For a portable hard drive that continuously displays available free space, take a peak at the Verbatim InSight hard drive with an Always On LCD that shows the drive’s available free space and personalized name. The Always On LCD display automatically updates when the drive is connected and/or safely dismounted and is easily renamed right from your PC or MAC. Compatible with all USB connections, the InSight drive includes a USB 2.0 cable, a Quick Start guide and Nero BackItUp software that offer full system backup or restore functions and optional password security. Compact but big on storage capacity, the InSight drive is available in a sleek piano-black finish with capacities of 320 GB and 500 GB and carries a 5-year limited warranty. With an Always On display, the Verbatim InSight hard drive is a plug-and-play external drive that keeps you in the know – even when it is disconnected.
