    I’ve tried a few different backup systems but they all eventually failed. When I saw this product I decided to give it a try. I have been crossing my fingers it doesn’t give out on me and it hasn’t. I’ll be buying one more as a second backup!

    I used one of these when I was in Africa for 6 weeks. It was bumpy, dusty, hot, humid - not at all good for electronics. I didn't have any trouble with this drive.

    Nice little drive. I like the rubberized padding. That makes is nicely non-slip, and should be somewhat protective.
