[QUOTE="martyp, post: 995481, member: 61183"] I bought a the exact drive last week too. Love the size of it, just a shame you need to carry around a USB cable with you too but its not too bad. I reformatted the drive in Disk Utility to FAT32 and no joke it took 7 hours to transfer 379Gb of data. :o Had to use FAT32 at I'm using a Windows laptop whilst I'm waiting on this MBP coming... Transfer speeds are rediculous even in Windows although, I'm hoping when I reformat it to HFS+ it will speed up again or it will be going back to the store to get replaced. [/QUOTE]
