What is questionable about the Momentus drives? My partner just had a Seagate 320GB Go Drive fail on her -- just clicks when I hook it up. So hoping it was a problem with the USB interface and not the drive, I opened it up and attached it to a different enclosure. I was able to recover all the data, but the thing wouldn't sustain a transfer larger than about a gigabyte. Oh, a couple of times I got lucky and managed three or four at a time. I'm not sure if that's the drive having problems, or the fact that I had it hooked up to a parallel ATA enclosure through a SATA-PATA adapter. The parallel enclosure has been solid with parallel drives, performing 50 - 400 GB transfers without hiccough. Anyway, I'm curious if these drives have a poor reputation, as I usually favor Seagate drives, but I recognize that every company makes a turkey every so often.
