A friend of mine told me that these external hard drives are easy to shuck so the physical disk can be used in a NAS or a desktop. Furthermore he told me that the enclosure can then be put back together with a different hard drive inside if you still want an external hard drive and have an appropriate HDD lying around. Despite having a DOA unit which had to be exchanged, I'm still happy with the purchase.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Excellent All Around Mouse

Verified Purchase:Yes
This mouse was purchased a month ago for $30 and has been in use ever since. I spent a lot of (too much) time looking at wireless mice to replace an 8-year old wireless MS Mouse 5000. While the MS mouse was still working, it didn't have the hyper-fast scrolling of the M705 and 8-years is a long time for a mouse.
The M705 fits my hand superbly, better than the MS mouse. The fit of the MX Master (latest top of the line Logitech mouse) in my hand was not nearly as good as the M705, either. So the main thing I like about this mouse is the fit. It's only for us right-handers, though, so you south paws are OOL. The hyper-fast scrolling worked quite well, and while I usually don't use it, when I do it works quite well. The battery life hasn't been tested yet (it's supposed to be three-years) but I full well expect that it will be more than adequate even though I never turn the mouse off using the power switch on the bottom. The mouse is used at my work desk and doesn't get moved around. If I'd planned to use this as a portable mouse, I'd have purchased a smaller mouse than this.
All told this is definitely a 5-star mouse. The worst thing I can say about it is that the software to fully configure it must be downloaded from the web and this didn't go smoothly for me. While Logitech's tech support was ultimately helpful, the guy I dealt with in Bangalore was as thick as a brick and only able to read from his script; he had no real clue of what he was talking about.

Battery Life
I'm not happy with the battery life of the mouse that came with my new apple computer, and wondering if anyone out there can compare the two with the battery life of this mouse, or would it be better for me to upgrade on a new keyboard and mouse combination.
I'm not an Apple user so I can't speak to your question about battery life comparison with a Mac. I can, however, say that I run an M705 wireless mouse next to a wireless MS keyboard on a PC and have no compatibility problems. The M705 has a three-year battery life. If you're thinking about the M705, I would definitely recommend it (assuming you're right-handed). If you're happy with your keyboard I think you should keep on using it and forego buying a keyboard-mouse combination.
