    You just plug it in and start going. It's that simple. I was so excited to get this. With all the photos I had I had loaded down my computer. This was a much needed item. Really freed up my computer speed.

    I purchased this while I was in a pinch. I needed an external for backup photos and memory for my SSD laptop. This was affordable and I could use it for either Mac or PC. I recommend this to everyone.

    This external drive is sleek, fast, quiet, and overall a great item. I use it for college and personal use on the daily. The price sometimes seems a bit steep, so you might want to wait for a sale.

    I love these Slims. As my second one, I'm really satisfied with them. I primarily switch both drives as bi weekly backups to my files, and they travel well if I need to work from the laptop.

    This is by the best bang for your buck. Not only is the transfer fast, the software you get gives you a free upgrade to pro. The encryption is a great feature as well and the thing works flawless!

    This external HD is great if you're looking for something small and portable with a ton of space. The set up and installation process if not hard, but it's not easy and I'd rather just have a HD that plugs in and begins working. Other than that, this is well worth the purchase.
