    Bought this for my Mediasonic - Digital to Analog TV Converter Box because, I was having some problems with the USB Memory Stick I have. After formatting it with the Converter Box it has been working like a charm. Make sure You formatted after connecting it to the Converter Box because I tried formatting it on the computer and it did not work at first but, after I formatted directly with the Converter Box, it works like a charm.

    Exactly what I needed to store my Lightroom and Photoshop photos. As a busy real estate photographer, I don’t have time to wait for slow sd card imports. Using this drive, I can upload my photos and use them instantly. I think this drive is even faster than the internal on my MacBook Pro. For the price, you won’t find a larger storage drive with this kind of speed. Very happy with this purchase.
