please clarify length of warranty by sjp

Warranty information says 1 year warranty; technical information says 3 years warranty. Which is correct?

Response by stevenl
The first year is with ourselves, and the rest is with the manufacturer.

 USB 1.0 by AJ

Can you tell me will this work on USB 1.0 as I do not seem to have any USB 2.0 connections. My guess is that it would just be slower?

Answer by stevenl on Wednesday, November 11, 2009
USB1.1 & USB2.0 are designed to be backwards compatible, so this drive should work in a USB1.1 port, just slower.

 Review by Cliff

Excellent small portable drive, light weight and just plug and write. Depending on operating system you can lose as much as 30gig, still for the price (don't think it can be beaten at the moment), a great storage device.
