I use one at home and we recently acquired 3 of them here at work.
I use it connected via FW800--I don't have an eSATA card in my
Macs at either location, and since I am typically copying many gigabytes
to the bare drives I insert into my Voyager, being limited to USB2 was
unacceptable.
The Voyager Q works just fine. As long as you are good about basic
Mac habits like dismounting drives from your Desktop before physically
removing them, it's a painlessless experience. Terry White of Adobe
has a good video review of this device from late June on his blog: http://terrywhite.com/techblog/archives/2673
