    I purchased primarily to simplify the transfer of all my data to a new machine. It did it easily in about 90 minutes Now it serves as a great back up and additional storage device

    I like how fast this drive copies files, even though I'm just using this drive for an auto back up mirror. It's fast, light weight, very quite and takes up very little space.

    This drive gives you a cloud storage of 10 GB, without expiring, and hence I loved it.

    Good drive. Was hoping it to be faster, given usb3, but ok. USB 3 is only so fast.

    Overall, the product functions amazingly good. The process of enabling the password was not the simplest; I had to refer to the manual to figure out that password wizard actully installs an application on your PC that is then started to complete the password feature. Not hard, just unclear w/o reference to the manual.

    This is a great tool for storing data. A lot of memory for the price. Great features like backup software included, but a little difficult to setup wireless function.

    I was pretty excited to purchase this item, as I was preparing to back up my existing lap top. The software that it comes with is JUNK - it hasn't run one complete back up cycle yet - after multiple tries. I used the Microsoft back up tool, and was eventually successful. Guess you get what you pay for!

    Hard drive works great. Does the basics of what I need for it to do. For the price, it was a great price. It's sleek and aluminum just like my laptop.

    I was told that my grandson wanted a 1TB eternal drive by my son. I went to best buy and found exactly what I wanted in a matter of minutes. I was having dinner that evening with my grandson and told him I heard that he wanted the drive and he said yes and he was saving up for it. I surprised him with it and made him a happy young man. Thank you Best Buy for always having what I need. Dianne

    This portable hard drive was required for me as I have too many pics/vids on my computer. The hard drive is MAC compatible, lightweight and transfers files quickly using 3.0 speed. If on sale (I think mine was $69 for 1 TB) it is a good purchase.

    Needed a sleek looking and compact drive to provide companionship to my Mac Book Air. Mission accomplished. The only downside is that you can easily get more storage for less cost if you can tolerate a homelier appearance.
