    Love this HD! Saved my job!

    I needed to turn in some projects for my job, and this helped immensely. I was able to handover everything my boss needed, and not worry about taking out space on my computer.

    Reliable Throughout The Years

    Trusted Brand - I've been using these for years, and they haven't failed me, yet, although other brands have. I get a new one every so often, just to make sure, since nothing lasts forever, but my stack of old ones going back many long years are all still good. These are the only ones I ever trust to backup my lifetime of photos and important documents.

    saved my laptop!

    This product helped save my laptop. I was running out of space and couldn't do anything. I was able to move all none essential files which opened up 40 gb of space. This saved me from buying a new laptop and spending another $1300.00

    Good portable HD

    Solid amount of storage I used for my media folder (music/movies) to have more free space on my main computer. Was easy to use and the portability/ability to interchange between computers allows me to listen to my music even at my office job.
