Great Success using Linux.......2007-03-09
Out-of-the-box I plugged this into my Debian Linux workstation WITHOUT using a power supply. It was properly detected and auto-mounted. I formatted it with a journaling filesystem (ext3) and copied 36GB of data to it. No fuss. No muss.
This drive works great and I love it's small size. I have nothing negative to say about it and I highly recommend it - especially if you use linux.
Unfortunately, need external power supply.......2005-12-30
Despite the statements that this device can be powered from a USB, I found that it is erratic at best. I tried it on two different newer Dell laptops (D400 and 700m) and it ran better on the 700m, but still needed an external power supply on both to work closer to correctly. Without an external supply, I tried every combination of available USB ports, removed all other USB devices so this had all the power, removed the laptop from the docking station (docking stations are a known problem as they apparently split total power among the available USB ports), AND used an externally-powered USB device. The website and instructions indicate that an externally-powered USB will work but it did not.
Now, here is the warning. The hard drive, during ALL of my tests, APPEARED to work correctly. However, it would periodically stop and report I/O errors. On closer inspection, I found many many files with corrupted filenames...most of the names would be correct but a few letters would be changed. Real life example: my "Equipment" folder became "Nuqwipment" (control characters removed). Other filenames would be correct, but the files could not be opened because they were corrupted.
All of this because of power. And you have no way of knowing.
Unfortunately, there is not way to know that the drive is currently underpowered unless you happened to detect some bad file names. The drive itself appears to work correctly. It would certainly be nice for a little internal detection circuitry to detect insufficient power and turn the LED a different color or launch an error message or something.
Due to the complete uncertainty of data quality, I have to give this product a low rating. It may work great with an external power supply, but it is advertised pretty heavily as not needing one.
Worth Every Penny!.......2005-12-30
I had to write in, even though I've had this for over a year--inherited second hand from my husband, who used it for a couple of years before me.
I'm no techie. All I know is it works perfectly, quickly, quietly. I never even DREAMED I could have lost data on my external hard drive--till I looked up hard drives at Amazon. The horror stories--of lost files, poor customer service, etc--were eye-openers.
I'll admit, I bought a big-name hard drive yesterday. The $80 rebate got me! But I'm returning it and going for another Pockey HD. It's more money, but it's worth it.
Great Product .......2005-09-04
This the third Pocketec I have bought. I have been so impressed with the product that I have bought two as gifts for other techies. The design, capacity, durability, and service are all excellent.
are you happy to see me?.......2004-08-31
Or do you just have a 60GB drive in your pocket? That's a buttload of storage for a pocket sized drive. Since it's USB, you can use it on Mac or Windows (although you'll need to format it accordingly). Fantastic for moving data from one PC to another without burning a stack of CDs. Plug-n-play-n-dump.

Customer Reviews:
Performs like an inexpensive scanner.......2007-10-17
Unfortunate for this scanner, I own a Cardscan 700c which does a great job at scanning business cards and has very slick software which builds the contact list, imports or exports contacts from/to popular programs, creates entries that have the front and back of the cards, has drag and drop functionality, and more.
I purchased this Genius ColorPage BR600 as a gift for my better half who recently became a Real estate agent. Of course, she has seen my Cardscan in action in the past. Her comment about this Genius scanner was "you could tell its a lower priced and inexpensive scanner. If the print on the card is in anyway faint, this scanner will not pick it up". Also, she has business cards that have black backgrounds with white text (business cards of the agents where she works). This scanner can not scan and OCR them, but the Cardscan scanner does well with these cards.
If cost is the most important thing to you, then this is a good product. But if you are looking for a scanner which can scan almost anything you give it, you should spend more and get a Cardscan product.
