SmartDisk USBFLB160 FireLite 160 GB 2.5-Inch USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive

Product Description

The "drive for perfection" is built into the line of FireLite portable external drives. Palm-sized, durable and stylish with outstanding performance and capacity, FireLite offers the ultimate in a convenient, highly portable data storage solution. FireLite combines the best features of today's hard drive designs in one attractive package. Quite simply, FireLite provides quality without compromise.FireLite's diminutive size and weight are made possible through the use of magnesium alloy for the drive's housing - by weight, one of the strongest materials on the planet. Its thermal dissipation properties also help to wick away heat, increasing drive longevity. Hold it in your hand and you'll sense the aesthetic and functional advantages of a metal housing over plastic.Both FireWire and USB 2.0 models are bus powered, meaning they can be powered directly through the FireWire or USB 2.0 cable used to connect them to your computer. For portability, this is the utmost in convenience? just plug it in and start using it! For configurations that do not supply sufficient cable power, FireLite can operate from an optional AC adapter.FireLite's high performance hard drive mechanisms and electronics provide outstanding data transfer speeds with either FireWire or USB 2.0. For most software applications, you can use FireLite as an internal hard drive, then unplug it and take it with you when you're done!FireLite models are equipped with either a USB 2.0 or FireWire (1394A) connection. USB models support USB 2.0 High Speed operation (up to 480Mbits/sec) and they will also work with USB 1.1 ports at slower transfer rates. FireWire models (supporting up to 400Mbits/sec) feature two ports for daisy-chaining several FireWire peripherals together.

1 out of 5 stars FireLite are JUNK!!.......2007-12-16

I've purchased three Smartdisk FireLites and two out of the three have failed on me. Both had tons of data. When I contacted FireLight support for help, they didn't even bother to email me back. I'll never purchase another product from Smartdisk!

2 out of 5 stars SmartDisk FireLite fails to mount on Windows.......2007-12-10

I purchased a SmartDisk Firelite 160GB from Amazon after reading the positive reviews.

Unfortunately I've had a very negative experience with this drive.

When I first received the drive, it seemed as advertised. I was able to mount it just by plugging it into either the USB or Firewire port. Windows XP recognized it immediately. The drive came with BounceBack backup software, which I used to backup the C: drives from my desktop and laptop computers. BounceBack was easy to understand and setup.

After the backup, I ejected the drive and turned it off. A few weeks later, when I connected it again, it didn't mount on the desktop, though it did mount on the laptop.

Now, on my third try, I find that it will not mount on any machine. I've tried it on 5 different Windows PC's, most running Windows XP but also one with Windows Vista. The frustrating thing is that it does show up on Device manager (either connected via USB or Firewire). It's just "invisible".

I've Googled for information on how to fix this problem. I found that others have had this problem too, though all the reported cases were on Mac's.

4 out of 5 stars Works fine with windows, but may not work with some Linux distros.......2007-10-11

I purchased this drive to store/move a large amount of images between my Windows and multiple Linux systems. It seems to work fine when its attached to my XP system, but it does not always work with my Linux systems, and I have to do some creative stuff to finally get it to mount properly.. Actually, on some Linux distros, it does not work at all...

I like this drive, but do your homework and research before you buy it... make sure it will do what you want it dot....

5 out of 5 stars Palm-sized wonder of digital storage.......2007-08-06

I bought my first FireLite several years ago, when 60-gig was a big deal. I have since outgrown that, and had just recently bought a 120-gig in my local store--then I saw the 160-gig model. Of course, I ordered it right away. Tremendous. I'm a musician, and I sometimes travel to jobs where I need my music, both printed and audio, with me. I used large patches of hook and loop fastener to piggy-back the drives to my laptop; they can even stay there in transit; I just disconnect the cords. The drives are extremely reliable and so convenient. Even the oldest FireLite has always worked without fail. FireLite drives are truly palm-sized wonders of digital storage.

1 out of 5 stars Dosen't Work!.......2006-07-31

I purchased the Scosche ipod Nano RF Remote three months ago and it only worked once. I replaced the battery and it still didn't work. I emailed the company for help and never heard back. The product stinks!






5 out of 5 stars It is GREAT!.......2006-07-31

This trick little device solved a head scratching problem for me. I installed outdoor speakers in my back yard, but wanted to listen to my ipod nano through my stereo in the house. A real pain to go in and adjust the volume and skip particular songs on shuffle. this Scosche RF remote did the job. I can be in the back yard, I have found it works fine at 75ft, keep the very small conveinent remote in my pocket and make all of the top level adjustments quickly and seemlessly. It works great and is actually cheaper than most of the IR devices. I love it!

2 out of 5 stars Not awful, but not too good either.......2006-07-25

I purchased this remote for my Ipod Video (30GB). When I first took it out of the box, I was very happy, its color is the same as my iPod (black) and it also has the same width.

The unit fits OK with the iPod and the remote control is small and cool, but I found some flaws:

1. The unit easily disconnects if you maneuver the iPod in the car, for example, and I don't mean a drastic movement.

2. The remote control, it says up to 150ft.... yeah right, that is NOT true, even within the car (I have a small car) if you don't point the remote directly to the unit, it won't work. It also is kind of slow when you push the button to change a song and when the iPod actually change it.

The reason I rate this with 2 stars is because the unit, when it works, takes away that uncomfortable task to change the song by touching the iPod itself.
