The external drive is fairly compact, it's about the size of a single stack CD case. Okay, it's not as small as those 1gb flash drives that you can wear around your next or use as a keychain, but this baby holds 750 gigabytes of digital goodness. The quality and design is top notch. I have no doubt that this drive could take quite a beating and still keep functioning.

The unit comes with a power supply and cables for firewire and USB 2.0. You even get a handy little stand to hold the drive up vertical.

Tucked neatly in the back are all the connectors for firewire, USB, and power.

     The front of the drive houses the power button/push button backup. You simply hold the button down a few seconds to turn the drive off and on or push it once to kick on the program that backs up your system. Of course using the device as a backup drive is totally optional. You can opt to not install the Seagate BounceBack utility and simply use the external drive for whatever you like.

     One side of the drive has a large rubber ring as shown in the picture above. This ring keeps the drives from moving around if used in a stacked configuration.
