    Excellent build and quality. It is priced reasonably and is from a good manufacturer. I would recommend this. Especially if the price is under $50.

    Great for backing up files. Small, simple to use. I use mostly for backing up picture files, but could be used for complete backup of computer, Had one for home use, purchased this one for non-profit local museum for off-site backup and storage of digitized pictures and documents. Getting one larger than 1T might create problem for older computers to read.

    I purchased this in the hopes it would be a good source of data backup during my trip. Sadly it the driver is not working with my tablet. I'll have to use it different than I intended. A little disappointed but it is still usable and a good product.
