    This small external hard drive is big. Just plug it into USB port, tuck it away and it does the rest. Ready to start saving stuff in minutes.

    I have several external hard drives and this one is certainly one of the tops. Speed, portability, price per GB, etc. all this adds up to a great product!

    I like it cause it's small and I don't have to plug it in. It's seems like it's good quality. You don't want to play games with hard drives.

    I connected it to my iMac with no problem. But when the iMac went to sleep, there were many massages about improper disconnections of hard driver. I tried to change the setting of my iMac's Energy Saving options but no use. I guess the only way to solve the problem is never let the computer go sleep, which I don't like.
