    Second one I bought. This is serving as a back-up for the first one, which is a fairly common practice I do on important data(my CD library)

    Easy install. Backup process was automatic. It took a little time for initial backup, I'm satisfied to know my data is backed up.

    So far so good!! Works as designed and expected. Nice form factor. The only thing I would change is to make it so it's not as smooth, it can slide off of any surface if not placed flat. Maybe put rubber bumpers on one side. So I like it and would purchase it again if the need arises. Devices like this are hard to rate early on because the reliability factor only comes into play over time and if it performs as expected when you really need it to. And if it doesn't, well, then it's crap. Right?

    Nice little drive. Good capacity, plug-and-play. Got it on sale, but if I needed a drive in a pinch, it's worth the retail price.

    This was a great buy! Easy to use! I had a different brand external hard drive that was giving me a lot of issues with automatically disconnecting itself. No issues with this one!
