Does this thing require Rio's software to transfer files to and from it? The old (black) ones did and it was a pain. If it show up as a regular USB hard drive on Windows, then it'd be awesome, cause then I can use it in Linux too
Thanks Vasp for the correction.

The HS model has 12ms response time vs the S model's 25ms. The HS also has a nicer physical design too. That's all I can remember off the bat, but there are other better features on the HS model
Erm... $509 shipped at newegg ($529 - $20 instant rebate)
Newegg
I just bought one of these and it's simply awesome
**Edit** Ignore this post. This is a different model. The model I bought was also the SDM-HS94P/S so I dunno if this newegg model is as good. Look below for differences
I've booted from the 256MB version of this drive before. Try using the installer from the geexbox (geexbox.org) distribution. I've been very successful with it. Granted it's not a full fledged system like Knoppix, but at least you can test if your drive is really bootable or not
Hmm... just a thought on the 3 year warranty.
If my system dies after 2 years, Dell will most probably not have parts for this model anymore and will definitely have to replace it with a then-current model. Won't that be nice.
werk: does the laptop boot off the USB port?

did you do a Windows XP install off the network? It's really easy using linux, but I couldn't find any resources for Win XP. Do you have any websites that shows you how to do it?
