    I don't really have any complaints with the hard drive. My problem is with myself. I thought I was buying one with a thunderbolt connection. I could have sworn I was. The only thing I can think was that this one was mixed in with the ones that were Thunderbolt. But I have kept it and it is working fine.

    I purchased this as a field-capable/tough form of a portable HD for storing photo and video files, and it works great so far. Small bumps and jolts have not hurt its function.

    So far so good. Only issue is the cable port is sensitive and we've had it disconnect if bumped or moved. Other than that, it's worked great and was a great price.

    I saw this on sale a while back so I bought one. It's been sitting around till this Covid 19 thing forced me to set up a home office. I was able to put all my office files I needed onto this and transport it home and hook it up to my home computer. Works great. I just leave it hooked up and everything is there and works fast. Small, compact & in a shock resistant case. Definitely glad I bought this.
