    I bought this for an older computer I had, but when I got it home I found that this old computer was not able to handle this size drive. So I took it and added it to my newer unit and took the 500 gb drive and swapped computers. All seems to be working just fine.

    Simple solution for backup of data. The included software compresses before backup so effective capacity is much more than 1TB. Only issue is that old backups must eventually be erased to create room for a new backup if you use the snapshot method.

    I recommend this item for anyone who is looking to back up computers or phones. It does come with an app so you are able to back up your phone from your phone to the storage device.

    You can set the hard drive to back up automatically or you can manually move files over to it when you want. So far it works very well for my needs.

    Prices for external hard drives have come down a bit, and I love that it's "flash" and there's no "platter" and no moving parts! (Yeah, I've lost lots of stuff due to the old fashioned ones)

    Very plug and go. I suggest formatting it right away to get rid of all the junk that the manufacturer throws in there. Makes this thing run like a snail. Get rid of all that and it is a truly plug and go storage device.

    it seems to work fine. what can I say. there was nothing wrong with it when I took it out of the package. sometimes I do have to wait a few seconds before it starts to transfer but I think all of these devices work like that. In general I am happy with the product.

    Nice color and the red color sets it apart when you're trying to locate it in a drawer full of external storage devices. Fast downloading as well.

    This unit is very easy to use and its "plug and play" setup is great. I bought this for my GoPro storage and with its slim design. It fits great in my camera bag. 10/10

    Good- easy to install and use Bad- it slows down my computer when I have auto backup set-up and I keep getting a lot of messages telling me my memory is low so I have to turn it off and backup manually
