Yes
I purchased this from Circuit City for $100, and it has $50 in combined rebates. Installation was easy via my USB 1.0 port. The Retrospect program included works well also. However, the transfer rate was appallingly slow so I installed a ZONET USB 2.0/FireWire card (www.newegg.com, $22 with a $5 rebate, good service) and the speed improved dramatically.
While my main purpose was to preserve data (financial and photos) files, it appears to be hotswappable should I decide to upgrade from my Dell D4100 to a new Dell.
