    Solid unit. Very portable. Average to slightly above average read speed. Works great with my MacBook Pro 13" w/retina display. I use it to carry my media on the go with me. 500GBs of music and movies is a nice luxury to have with you at all times. Unfortunately, I did not wait for apple to release the new MacBooks with a built in 1TB hard drive.

    It's well designed with a metal exterior rather than plastic. As a bonus, it includes the Tuxera utility to install on OS X if you want to write to NTFS drives.

    I am very impressed with this 1TB Hard Drive. It's very easy to use. Simply plug and play and you're on your way. It's great because my wife kept on losing her music, photos, and documents from crashing PC's. She's happy knowing that her information is safe and secure on this device. Definitely worth the money if you think about the loss of data that may occur if you don't back it up.

    I'm using on a MacBook Pro with Time Machine for complete HD back ups. Unpack, connect to USB, (cable included) start time Machine. It's that simple.

    I had a Toshiba external drive a while back, and this one is like an old friend. toshiba makes some of thefts external drives, and this is one I'm very pleased with. Though USB 3.0 is still weird, I would recommend it to take advantage of faster read/write speeds. Until SSDs are more cost effective, I'll be sticking with this one. sleek, modern, and competitively priced? I'll take it!

    This was the perfect travel size for me to take almost an entire TB of movies and music with me anywhere I want. I am able to take it on the plane and plug it right into my tablet. I can also just use it to take movies over to a friends house to watch if I don't feel like lugging my laptop around.
