    Gotta love the "Deal of the Day" thing! As for the drive itself, it's perfect for taking stuff on the go. It's small enough to fit a shirt pocket and yet (the version I got) can store 1 trillion characters. That's about 233 4 GB Dvd. So, whether you're an author writing the next "War and Peace" or a shutterbug who needs a place to offload your photos, or whatever, this is a great product.

    Good price, good product. This spins up and stores data safely. Lasts a good long time. This is the second one I have, and never a problem.

    Very Good hard drive for a solid price!

    This hard drive is really good for the price. Upon initial setup, there are some software things that need to be installed on your Microsoft device before you can begin to use it (to help the hard drive work easier). Once the software installs on your device, its very easy to use. This hard drive was very easy to use and setup, so I bought one for my Xbox One S to use to expand the storage on it. For the price, it's well worth looking into buying. Highly recommend

    I needed a backup drive at the last minute so I flew up to Bestbuy and found this drive for under $50 for 1tb. Didn’t break the bank, is usb 3.0 and got the job done. I owned the older model of this drive where they used a different usb port that requires a flat flimsy usb plug that has so much play in it that the cord tension can cause flex on the plug and crash the drive. I’m glad they redesigned the usb port on these drives to use a chunkier and stronger port so this issue no longer exists.

    For product itself, Five Stars. It has excellent storage capacity for the cost and a nice & low physical profile. The caveat: Geek Squad support was needed to install it.

    Does exactly what it's supposed to do

    Full disclosure: I only used this to transfer data when I replaced my laptop. But it worked pretty well for that. Setting it up was as easy as plugging it in, just like using a common thumb drive. I think I remember it taking probably 2-5 hours to transfer 200-400GB of data? That's probably too big a range to be useful, but I do remember being pleased that it didn't take all night. So, transfer speeds not too bad...I think. I haven't really used a lot of other brands, or done many other high-capacity data transfers before. But anyway, overall, I had no issues, everything worked exactly as it should have. What more can you really ask for?
