    Transfer speed satisfied me. I was using 10 yr old external harddisk which was giving error messages and constant recovery required. Works great at a fraction of the time required by old external drive.

    Needed a portable hard drive to back up scientific data for analysis. This is the perfect one. Anyone with a computer should use a portable hard drive for back up and this is just the one!

    When I tried using the harddrive it said it had to be formatted before it could be used but when I tried to format it it said windows could not format it. I may have to take a lot of the blame myself because what I know about computers would`nt fill a thimble.For that reason I tried to ignore the first request for a review but best buy insisted.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
