    Transferred 1.7 GB to it using USB 3.0. I think it took a few hours, I can't remember. Although I would rather have faster speeds than what this provides, it sure beats the ridiculously slow speeds of 2.0. I like that it is powered through the USB cord connected to computer. Good price, good size.
