    I had not purchased a portable drive for several years. They were too large and slow. This drive was small and very fast. Was quite impressed.

    Great for traveling, light weight, portable. Great for backup whole computer, so if computer crashes, your data stay safe in the backup drive.

    The ZVOX ZBase 555 21Ch Home Theater Speaker System purchased online from Best Buy arrived several days earlier than projected. It was quite easy to set up and has improved the audio output of the Samsung built-in speakers significantly. Importantly, and not stated on the Best Buy web site, the unit did come with a digital audio optical cable. We still have some difficulty understanding the dialogue of BBC productions and those featuring speakers of other than American English. The Zvox is exactly per measurements shown on the website, so it fit precisely as anticipated under our 55" flat screen Samsung. I would recommend the product for anyone who feels their current audio output could use enhancement, with the realization that there might still be some occasions where dialogue is still less than perfect.

    Works great! It is smaller and more portable than the one I got just 3 years ago. I bought a protective case to go with it too so I can keep it in my bag.

    Haven't transferred files from a Mac yet, but works great so far. Only complaint is that it sometimes creates temporary files that are not automatically deleted after transferring or closing the corresponding files.

    Purchased because I was running out of backup memory. I have 2 smaller Seagate external drives dedicated to family pictures and my weekly sysytem backup capacity needed expansion. This drive handles it nicely. No installation issues.
