    It doesn't have the strongest feel, but it does feel ok or good enough. I would unplug it when transporting it in a backack because the connection is like others, could easily bend when inserted. the light on it isn't too bright and it makes almost no noise. Works well with Windows, never any not recognized errors. Seems great. Speed seems good enough. I've had mine for over 2 years.

    I followed the directions for connecting the backup to the laptop. Small size backup doesn't take up much space.

    I purchased this drive because it is has a large capacity and doesn't require external power. It's powered only through the USB port. It's working great so far. I use it for backing up my files and the system image of my lap top. Only issue I had was that my laptop doesn't always recognize the drives connection as USB 3.0. This is an issue between Windows 7 and my HP laptop. The drive works fine.
