actually the drive isn't even silver, the tray is silver and the front bezel is beige. It's one of the worst looking drives I've ever seen. I wish I knew there was a black version before I purchased this. You can't even put a bezel cover on it because of the crazy shape. Why can't they just make the front flat?
Oh well, even though it's quite ugly in my beautiful case that has everything else stealthed it's still a great drive. I'm actually looking to get an external enclosure so I can just keep it in one of the drawers of my desk and use it when I need it.
