Query: Excellent product...it is a shame it is made in France

I have owned this product for a year...having bought it right after it came out and before the IPod. From day one I have used it to carry files from work to home and back again. It is compatable with every operating system I have tried it with. When attached to my PC I treat it as a normal disk drive. Even using the older USB, I have had no trouble opening and running files off of it. Like any other disk drive, though, you must perform normal upkeep on it and run scandisk and defrag once in a while. Doing that improves its speed of function greatly. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. The only thing I am not crazy about is that it is made by a French company. If I were buying one today, I would think twice about it just because it is made in France...but that is the only reason. It is a very practical and dependable device, though.
