    This drive was much quicker than I expected! Use it to backup data from my computer and the transition was smooth; no mechanical noises! Definitely worth its price.

    It is easy to say that I have space, but to run out of space is scary when you want to preserve your data. I saw this Easystore USB drive and said hello, this is it.
