    Installation on a windows 8 system was simple and straightforward. Very nice not having to deal with a separate power supply and cord since the drive is powered by the USB cable.

    This unit was to replace an older, smaller hard drive. The size of this unit is perfect and it holds everything I need. The only downside is the outer shell is a little soft and I did get 2 little dents in it when traveling. It hasn't harmed the drive but it was concerning.

    Super slim and good looking disk. Performs as expected. Did not try on USB3 yet. Used provided backup software once. After more uses I will try to restore to see how it performs.

    I just loved how slim this thing is. I have two other hard drives and they're all fast. But nothing is this slim. Just loved that part about it. Still to see how good it lasts.

    Best external hard drive I've owned. I just use it for basic backup of files, but the transfer speed is exceptional and it has proven to be very reliable so far.

    Worst external hard drive I've ever purchased

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've been buying external hard drives for personal and business use for well over 12 years now, and have bought more than 100 at a minimum. This is the worst one by a landslide. I bought it, formatted it, and over the course of 2 weeks transferred files to it. Once I had filled it to a comfortable 75 percent, i erased the files from their original locations. Then, on the 2nd use of the hard rive, it unmounted, and was deemed damaged by my disk utility program. As if that wasn't bad enough, the damaged drive wouldn't mount in order for me to transfer the files and save them. Then, after I decided I'd suffer the loss, the disk utility wouldn't even let me erase the drive and start over. I truly have a deep hatred for this hard drive and anything made by this company.
