    highly recommend this portable hard drive! It loads and moves data extremely well—much faster than the hard drive installed on my laptop. This is a must-have that’s also very affordable. With its speed, storage space, and great price, it’s the best buy out there!

    Hey look, it's a USB Hard Disk that directly uses USB to interface with your computer, rather than SCSI or SATA to USB. It isn't particularly quick, and if you're transferring terabytes of data (particularly massive files) it can disconnect, but that comes with the territory. That said I've abused this thing and it hasn't died on me yet. For the price, can't be beat!

    Files transfer quickly. Been able to save photos and videos of my elderly dog who's almost 16 and doesn't have much time left as well as of my brother who passed away in February. Just plug it in and it works.

    This product exceeded my expectations. It’s well-built, easy to use, and performs consistently every time. Setup was quick and everything worked right out of the box. If you’re on the fence, I’d say go for it. Great value for the quality you’re getting.

    Excellent. This product is better than I expected. I use it for storing my recorded movies. Large capacity of storage. I will probably be buying another one to add more recorded movies to store on it.
