    I needed something to back up my data. This was on sale so I picked it up. It is enough to back up several hard drives. It works really well. It is portable and works on my Mac. It is a solid buy.

    Great little portable hard drive. Transfer speed is good. It's light weight, could fit in your back pocket if you were so inclined. Get this little power house.

    I've had a passport drive for many years. This is an upgrade to adjust to the larger file demands and faster transfer capabilities. I give these as gifts and everyone loves them, especially my college aged daughter.

    This external hard drive was perfect for the amount of storage I needed. I was able to put all my data on it plus additional. Definitely worth the amount of money it cost.

    Works like a flash drive, but not as fast. It is not intended to be the main drive. I like the size and has a cord long enough to reach the motherboard USB plugs.

    Works great. I use it for both pc and a second one for quick swap of moving games from one xbox to another. Also use one for media to plug into the back of the TV.

    This drive works well. The USB 3.0 interface increases speed markedly from earlier editions, making frequent backup more convenient. The small footprint allows you to store the physical drive in secure places easily.

    The item arrived very quickly. The external hard drive was somewhat simple to set up. Just plug and back up with a tiny bit of online research since my MacBook didn't display the drive immediately. Now there is no need to be concerned about data loss with this semi easy backup option.

    Bought this drive for storage at work, in order to transfer footage. It’s not as fast as a solid-state drive, but for the price, you can’t beat it.

    I purchased this so the tech could remove pics from my laptop to free up space. Pictures still are on my laptop. Vey confusing. So the external hard drive may be doing it's job I'm wondering why pics show up on my laptop.
