Just an FYI. I recently purchased this product as a result of this review. Surefire may be closer to the fact than Verbatim wanted. When using it for the first time, I noticed the drive getting uncomfortably hot. I measured the temperature of the unit at 110 degrees (it may have been warmer - I was using a fever thermometer that maxed out at 110). A call to Verbatim got me the information that the drive shouldn't get warmer than 95 degrees. Although the unit appeared to operate normally, I returned it for a refund. Heat and electronics is usually a bad mix.
