The disk itself is very sleek looking with the body made out of aluminum and the ends out of grey plastic. On the rear there are connections for external power, eSATA and USB. The eSATA connection is faster than USB, but unfortunately the eSATA cable doesn't come bundled with the disk. The problems with eSATA are that it isn't hot pluggable, and unlike USB, doesn't provide the power to the disk, so with the optional eSATA cable either the USB or an optional power supply has to be used.
On the rear there are two screws that hold the back panel and the hard drive-sledge in place. No warranty void stickers here by the way, so the user can, atleast in theory, change the harddrive inside. The disk Plextor has used is made by Samsung and the model is HM160HI. It's a 160 GB S-ATA drive that spins at 5400 RPM and has 8 MB cache on board. Opening the drive didn't reveal any surprises, only the disk and a small circuit board for the USB here.
As I connected the disk to the USB, I first of all noticed another of those too bright little blue leds shining to my eye. After recovering from the shock I also noticed that there are no feet of any kind on the bottom of the device, so it was moving across the table from the tension of the USB-cable. This is bad news, because the disk can easily drop from the table if it's placed too close to the edge. To add to the list of pros compared to larger 3,5" disks, the PX-PH160US is virtually silent.
