    I bought this to transfer my data from my old laptop that died suddenly and I had no problems at all. It was a cheap alternative to using someone else to transfer the data for me.

    We bought this drive because our computer cd drive broke. The computer doesn’t have internet so we can only copy data from drive and play music. I would like to be able to copy data off the internet to drive and move data. I am not sure if lack of internet is the reason we can’t move data off the computer.
