    It's just what I needed when my computer quit working properly. Everything was saved no problem. I'm so glad I had it for the "Just in case" situation. It saved me a lot of lost data, it was plug and play easy to use. It's a lot smaller than the other external hard drives I have and had more room than I needed. I can keep it in a drawer instead of taking up desk space. So glad I got it.

    I was looking for a smaller form factory device to use to sync between OneDrive and my Mac. Device has worked well and has the same metallic look as the macbook pro (not exact color, but close). The speed has been fine considering the level of encryption I am using. Works nice with OneDrive.

    I purchased this product when I was looking for a new external hard drive to store documents a pictures on. Although I did not check reviews online prior to purchasing, this hard drive turned out to be a great buy. It has enough storage and was easy to set-up. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that is looking for an easy to use and dependable hard drive.

    I love this drive. I love the size, the styling, the speed, and the capacity. I have about 40,000 photos stored on it (with room for lots more), and I can access them as quickly as if they were on my laptop. Carrying the drive with me wherever I take my computer is easy because the drive is so small and sturdy. I couldn't be more pleased.

    I have tons of photos and files that I want to keep safe and backed-up so that I will have them for my children and grandchildren and who knows great-grandchildren someday. I value family and friends and take tons of pictures when I am with family and friends and when I go on trips so that my family and friends can see all the photos I have every taken and know where and what and when I had been some where. All about genealogy.

    This hard drive is light weight and sleek looking. I use it to backup data directly from my Samsung devices with the OTG Connector that came with my S7 Edge. Writes data i would say competently. If you cannot afford a SAD then this is something you may enjoy. No issues so far!

    Need a hard drive to backup information from computer. It was reasonably priced and nicely designed. Also, there was an additional offer for one cloud. Once, I checked out, there was also protection plan offer for little fee for 2years. Plug and play, answered my prayers.

    This external hard drive never gave me any trouble. Aesthetically it looks good but only feels premium on the top, not so much on the bottom where it's enclosed with basic plastic. It's small enough to fit in your back pocket (although I don't recommend you transport it that way) and pretty light. Love it? No. Bang for the buck? Yes sir!
