(1) Don't drop or thump it
(2) Be prepared for the fact that USB drives are slow

Other than that, they make a great back up set up. There is the option to buy an
empty caddy from ebay and load it with a drive of your choice.
I have yet to get 3 months out of one of these chinese caddy's, so if I were
buying again, I would get a ready made unit.

These people are good: www.ebuyer.co.uk

Hope that helps
