    Ease to use, good reminders from the software on when to back up. I haven't had to restore yet, but you never know. Easy to take from office to office.

    I love this drive, but I can only use it on my Linux laptop - my Windows laptop will randomly disconnect and reconnect the drive. This has led to massive data loss on one of these drives. Interestingly enough, I've never had the problem happen on my Linux laptop. I hope no one else is experiencing this issue!

    We needed more storage, for both the wife and I. This works great, because it is SSD you can find the files you want in a flash. I have windows 7 and the wife has 10, it works great with either one, and for the cost I couldn't pass up the price. You get a lot for the price.

    This hard drive works as designed although I do hear a noise when running. Hope that does not mean it will go bad early. But overall it works, but transfer rate is slow.

    2 TB of portable memory for an excellent price. If you do not use the cloud (any service) and you prefer or feel more secure with having your files and/or photos with you, then this is the product for you. Easy and fast file transfer and password protected for enhanced security. Highly recommended.

    I bought this external hard drive to store important data, but unfortunately it didn’t work out for me. I thought I would be able to save the data from my laptop, but it was gone. Hard drive couldn't do anything. I ended up returning the hard drive. It might work for others, but based on my experience, it didn't help.
