This is a very high quality product. All aspects of the product are the best quality on the market.
The whole product has a 2 year warranty, that includes everything - the disk enclosure, disk drive and power adapter.
You can use the disk to capture over 200 hours of DVD video, 38 hours of broadcast quality DV video, 66,000 MP3 songs, 170,000 photos (at 6 Megapixel resolution) or as a massive disk for data or backups.

The photo below shows the power/disk activity LED on the front.

The close-up photo below shows the high quality of finish of the product.

If you have a Firewire or USB 2.0 port already on your Mac or PC, then there is nothing to do apart from plugging in the disk and turning on its power. Mac OS or Windows plug and play will recognise the disk and it will appear just like any other disk.
If you are not sure if you have USB 2.0 then see how to tell if you have USB2 ports on your PC.
