I connected the device to my laptop and searched the box for an installation CD to load the associated software. The cable is only 13 inches in length, which is serviceable for use with a laptop but to connect to a desktop tower unit and conceal the drive requires more cable. The USB cable that Toshiba includes is way too short. I am surprised and slightly disappointed that Toshiba did not offer a Firewire connection port. This single USB 2.0 port serves as the power supply and conduit between the drive and the computer. The only noticeable feature on the portable hard drive is a mini-USB port located on the top edge. The bottom has two raised rubberized feet that provide support to the drive by basically running the entire width, side-to-side. The unit nicely utilizes rounded corners and edges to add to an element of softness to the cool sleek design. It easily fit into several pockets in my messenger bag. The drive is compact in size at 0.65†(H) x 3.2†(W) x 5.0†(D) and weight, 6 ounces making it extremely portable. These colored lines add a nice pop to the glossy black surface. The other available colors are Carbon Grey, Hot Rod Red and Gecko Green. It has a high gloss black finish to it with five curved lines in Electric Blue color on the top. I am initially impressed by the look and feel of the device.
