This would be useless to me. When I buy external storage, I want to have complete control of my files. Western Digital tried this crap and it actually sold. These devices use UIs that handle the access to your content. So you're basically paying $199.99 for movie, music, and picture storage. WHICH GRANTED, that is what you have access to no matter what kind of hard drive you get. The point here is you won't be able to transfer programs you may have downloaded and want to keep, exe files, etc. etc. I love Lacie and their Porche/Rugged drives. What I don't love is UI controlled hard drives.
