    I use this hard drive all the time for work and personal affairs. It's small size make it extremely portable. The high read and write speeds make it a great option to have around. I use this to hold large datasets and process the data directly from the Samsung drive and I think it is a great option for a companion to new laptops that only have 128 or 256 gb sad drives!
