    Great portable backup drive. For a 2 TB drive, the size is very small compared to my older one. Software was easy to install.

    Perfect upgrade for a system storage. Extremely simple to use just plug it in to your computer or Xbox one and you're set. Store movies, music, pictures, and pretty much anything digital. Extremely quiet and doesn't rely on any additional power like some bigger storage system, just the 3.0 usb it comes with.

    This product was great and I got it for a pretty good deal. I spent around 80 bucks for it. I have a HP Spectre and it only has 256 GB SSD but with this portable hard drive i am able to expand my memory with ease on my laptop. Who needs to buy a laptop with a lot of moving parts just settle for a good hard drive.

    I wanted an external storage device for my pictures and this has worked wonderfully. I had nearly 10,000 photos on my Mac and I have been able to transfer all of them and still have space for more. It's compact size is great and ease of use as well. I would recommend this to anyone needing external storage.

    All you have to do is use the USB to hook up to computer, install the software from the back up drive and then choose back-up. It takes a little time to do the initial back-up and then automatically backs up the changes that you have made. It is also very small.
