    This is an excellent portable yet slim hard drive. Although I do not know much about hard drives . This manufacture seems like a very well known company in making hard drives.

    I bought this one (own 2 of them now) to transfer my recorded shows off my malfunctioning DVR from Dish network to my new one. The transfer rate was a little slow but that is to be expected from a USB powered unit. My other unit is for my laptops and the first backup took a little time to complete but subsequent ones have been much faster. The drives could not be simpler to use and I definitely recommend them.

    Have been using backup hard drives for pictures and music. Want to separate them so this one is handy. Would prefer one that stands for ease of use.

    I almost returned this drive once I realized that the software, unlike Western Digital software, does not provide a way to lock the hard drive. Granted it does provided encryption backup software but I could not find a way to actually password lock the drive. I did find some 3rd party software which I plan to purchase, but I figured that since it came with secure backup software that would be included. I asked the salesperson and received a verbal confirmation that it could do what I was asking. I guess I'd better be more specific next time. I apparently do not have the correct version of Windows 10 for Bitlocker is not included.

    The drive has worked very well out of the box, just plugged it in and away it went. I did not install the supplied backup software since that is not how I'm using the product. Once I did make the mistake of using a UBS 2.0 port, will not make that mistake again. The USB 3.0 is massively faster.
