G technology
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.System works great and using it everyday... Make sure that run the Windows exe before using it . This formats the device for WIN 10 and you get the full 1 TByte . Otherwise you get only 3GBytes. My mistake in not reading the instructions .

Good, but A little slower than the competition
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Overall decent performance (it is a bit slower than my Samsung T5's as this writes at about 150-200 MB/s; my T5's can get up around 300-350 MB/s). Haven't had it that long so I can't speak to reliability yet (only had it for about a week). The rugged design is nice for those who are on the go. Despite this being a little slower than my Samsung's I'd still recommend it to people. I mainly dinged it one star because of it's slower write speed, compared to the competition but beyond that, does the job and is affordable.

Fast
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This is fast. In my initial transfer of data it took 85 minutes to transfer almost a terabyte of data. My last hard drive took all night to transfer that much data. On top of that I got it for $100 off. It was such a good deal I got one for my wife as well.
