    This is a great product for a good price. I do, however, avoid the dashboard component entirely.

    I needed extra storage for my laptop and this does the trick. A bonus is that it also backs up my laptop. If I leave it connected it backs up automatically and if I dis- and reconnect it backs up right away. I like the speed of the USB 3 connection and it has been very reliable so far.

    I love the size of the 2tb we bought with our Mac air. So portable and light. Fits in your back pocket or purse for easy portability. And the price was amazing too! We're planning to buy one for my daughter who's in college and my husband who loves to store all his music on one device.

    Size is very nice and compact, very thin, zero vibration. I do however think my older Seagate Freestyle has a faster transfer rate. Overall, the size makes up for the latency.

    I like the size (physical) of this external drive and the 1TB is great too. It works pretty quickly and I have used it a few times to back up my laptop. I haven't had to use the back up yet, so we'll see how that goes when it happens. I think it will workout just fine.
