I think i'll wait to vote to see how it performs. I've never owned a drive by this company and don't know how they perform.

I like that slim drive, its pretty sleek looking, as for the big one, its more like a desk brick. I am going to wait for some vodeo reviews before I vote either of them kickass. Just by looks though, that slim one has me sold.
