    So far so good. With an apple computer I had to actually register it in the mac desktop computer system. Its small feather weight and could fit in your pocket. Its too cool.

    A lot smaller than i was expecting. The speeds are solid when using the right ports. Heats up pretty quickly but not a problem if you can keep it in a cool area.

    Never had a head drive like this, the speed is quicker then a blink of an eye OT of a lightning strike. I copied close to 1 terabyte of music and music videos. The total time was less then 2 hrs to copy everything. I definitely would refer this hard drive. People would be foolish not to buy one or two.

    When I plugged the product into the tower, an icon did not appear. A customer service agent said that a box should have appeared to format the disc. But this did not occur.
