I've got four of these. Two 960GB and two 480GB. I just had one of the 480GB drives fail on me today. Total failure, too. It doesn't register as a device no matter where I put it, and I've got several external drive enclosures and three different computers that I've tried it on. It's dead.
All four of the drives perform well (other than the one failure), but now I don't think I want to run these as a single drive and should run them mirrored so I don't lose a bunch of data.
So far, they've been good, and fast, so I'm still going to give it three stars.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Fun without being inappropriate
My children are starting to get adventurous with the types and titles of the games they want to play. They are still small, so we try to curb their requests for games that can be inappropriate for younger children. The Infinity game pad delivers hours of fun without content that we wouldn't approve of.
The graphics are excellent and keeps them entertained. What they do and where they go is entirely up to them.

What's great about it: Bright, white light. Durable construction.
What's not so great: Slight RF interference (like most LED bulbs)
I got these for a sale price, but even at full price they are very good LED bulbs. I've tried at least two dozen brands/types/manufacturers of LED bulbs, and these are on my short list of bulbs I would buy again.
The bulbs are bright, don't make a lot of noise, give off a nice clean white light, fit most anywhere a regular incandescent bulb would, and resistant to breaking. They also shine in almost all directions just like an incandescent bulb. I only found one or two applications where the cooling fin portions were noticeable, and even then it wasn't objectionable.
My only issue, and this is VERY common, is that if I use them in my garage door opener, the range for my door remotes is greatly reduced. I've only found one LED bulb that will work so far, so it seems that it's a common thing to me.
Regardless of the garage door issue, these are great and I didn't feel that it warranted taking off a full star when taking all other performance into consideration.

What's great about it: Very simple and inexpensive addition to Infinity
What's not so great: None so far
I picked this up for my son, as well as another character for my daughter, so they could play Infinity with their current favorite characters. It was incredibly easy and the addition provided instant gratification when placed on the power pad.

What's great about it: Fast, large capacity, good sale price, simple to use
What's not so great: Status light could be more informative
Of all the external backup drives I've had (or at least purposed as a "backup" drive), this one is the best. It spins up quickly and is ready to go in short order. The transfer rate is *very* fast, and doesn't lag after the data has been copied over. I haven't found where the RPM was listed anywhere for the drive, but it reacts like a 7200RPM drive. Something else I like is that it's quiet.
The only thing I could complain about if I needed something to get picky on is that the status light on the front of the drive doesn't seem to be very informative, other than the drive is on or active. It goes completely dark in standby mode, and it's not clear whether it's even got power available. Again, this is just being picky.
I didn't explore the included software, but it would be nice to clearly have the drive tools on the drive itself so they don't need to be downloaded separately to check it out.
This product has... Fast, Attractive design/portable, Quiet, Large capacity/good size
About me... Technology guru, Need a simple backup solution

What is the highest LED light I can buy? I need it to fit in my lamp that I read by. I currently have a 3 way & I read at the 150 level.

As of right now, the 800 Lumen bulbs are going to be the upper end in terms of brightness without spending significantly more money. There are apparently new LED bulbs that are coming to market in the near future that will support 3-way. I haven't personally seen an LED bulb that is an appropriate replacement for the 3-way yet.

One thing that many people may not know, is that the 3-way bulbs are not part of the "incandescent ban" that is in place, so there should still be availability of these bulbs.
