    The disk is portable and very thin, so is easy to carry around everywhere. Also since is USB 3 all data transfers occur very fast. No issues so far with the disk

    Nice external drive. Plug and play out of the package, super fast using USB 3.0. Nice that it's powered via USB so you don't need an extra power adapter or cord.

    I purchased this drive because it is twice as big as the PC drive, so I can create a clone and do other backups. Seems to be working as it should.

    My computer had failed, but thanks to this i managed to get absolutely everything off of it and onto the new one, now i'm mostly using it as extra storage for my xbox. it doesn't require it's own power source so it's much more useful as portable storage.
