I'm a little surprised by the comments about the cable ... personally, I have absolutely no complaints about it, quite the contrary! I use the cable provided to connect any other devices on my Mac that have this type of mini-USB socket! This cable, such as USB disk is made pretty rough way of contribution and without flinching! Regarding the drive is WD, so quite small thing wrong: quiet, fast ... I use it for my TimeMachine backup and everything goes perfectly. I was a little afraid that her beautiful shiny black appearance deteriorates over time and multiple transport, it is not so, it is still as beautiful as he easily travel in one of the inside pockets of my bag. I've already sold several, but there it is 5 * without problems!
