    So far so good. Works fast, holds a TON on files. Big Questions will be in its durability and longevitiy. Too soon to tell.

    Excellent backup ext. hard drive for my docs that I have on my computer. Always connected, takes very little space on my desk. Love the insurance against loss of docs that it provides.

    much more compact in size than I thought. About the size on an old school ipod. Can easily slide into your pocket or bag. Got it on sale on black Friday. Great value for 2TB or storage.

    Needed more space on my Macbook so I purchased this external hard drive. Plenty of storage space available and very intuitive to use. Would recommend.

    My laptop was getting low of disc space and this was a great way to solve that problem. Picked up the 2 TB and now have all kinds of extra space, teeny tiny device too which is great.

    Small and very portable, the only think I see wrong with this type of product is that they don't use a universal cable.

    Love it. Its small size makes it easy to bring anywhere, even in my purse. I have downloaded several large files to it already and the storage graph still looks empty. Awesome purchase.

    Bought two more. Fast and reliable. Cool look and small foot print. Runs a little warm after a while, but a 2 TB drive that runs completely silent.

    This portable hard drive is great for backups and for travel. It is small and light and hold about 2 TB of data. I fill it with recorded movies/TV shows to view when we travel. Doesn't seem to work with both Windows and Apple at same time, which I would like as I have both types of computers,

    Ease of carrying around. At the time, I couldn't find one that has more memory in it that is that small (looking for 5 TB). But, it does what it's suppose to do and it's very slim. My second one.

    perfect for personal storage of files that you want to isolate from the cloud and and the internet. Connect to your PC backup files and disconnect ... put it away somewhere safe.
