Beautiful work Rickinatah!! The gloss is teh sex!
Note: I did find the perspective on the switch different from the rest of the body, if you haven't already noticed ;)
Looking forward to seeing more!
@Rick Because this is done in 3d the perspective is mathematically correct, my criticism of the perspective is that it looks visually off. I think the focal length is too extreme, which is causing the top to look stretched out. I think there is too much negative space around the cloud.
@Michaël: The length definitely looks exaggerated and I don’t like that. Which is kind of strange since it’s the same dimensions as the other drives, yet those look fitting.
@David: I think I’ll have to play around with the camera. The icon as a whole feels thinner than the HDRV ones, despite behind the exact same height. I’d be worried about them not matching up then though, or having to bang my head on the table to get the camera angle right (again). As for the negative space, I’m not a big fan of huge glyphs on hard-drive icons, so this might be personal preference type of thing.

This looks awesome! I'm not sure what it's for so this might not apply but it looks a bit long. Maybe it's just the perspective.

The perspective at the front is a little weird but I like the rest a lot :)

Perspective is wrong, but the reflections and colors are nice !

I think you guys might be a bit used to people using whacky perspective on the front of hard-drives. :)

damn that looks good. i think they meant the perspective of what osx icons usually are in.
i'm interested to look at the smaller versions. 48px?

@Rick : Okay, I get it now. The shape looks more like an former-generation Apple remote than an actual hard drive. That's what threw me off.

As said, definitely work in progress!
