Bams,

I don't know if it is in fact the largest or the smallest, but I have that exact model and it is one heck of a drive. Very fast read/write times, small, and it has a great capacity. If you're looking for a good small portable drive, that one is the one you are looking for.

Check around Best Buy....they typically have them on sale. I actually got mine for a steal when they had it on sale for $99 before tax...

Best of luck in your search!

It's a nice drive but..

WARNING WARNING WARNING

Amazon.co.uk says it does not work with Powerbooks and iBooks as the USB ports seem to not give enough power. Intel mac laptops seem fine.

And I was thinking of buying it for my PB15
