    Connected very easily to my old laptop, which has been a problem for me with past hard drives. The file transfer was very quick. The size seems perfect to me, easy to transport.

    Small, compact and holds enough data. If you can find it for under 60.00 buy it.

    It worked like a champ from the word go. I have no issues with this drive. It's fast and small. I also ordered a small case to carry it in. I would recommend this drive and I would buy one again.

    After using desktop drives for several years, it's nice to finally be able to carry a huge amount of files with me, without having to worry about an electrical outlet to view them.

    This is the 6 or 7th one I have bought and never have had a problem. I put all my movie collection on them and play my movies of them instead of having to mess with dvds.

    Pretty Good Hard Drive

    This is a pretty good hard drive and simple to use. It is a little slow when it comes to reading all of the media. When I first plug and try playing a file immediately, there is sufficient amount of lag time. Considering that I plugged it into a USB 2.0, there should be no reason for this lag...

    The drives were purchased to back up information for my firm instead of backing up into the cloud, paying for storage. Exactly what we needed to do the job.
