    This item is easy to use & is of good quality. It is portable and has its own power source so it doesn't take up a usb drive.

    I bought this for my son's xbox. It stores things. I suppose it stores things... well? I mean, the data doesn't seem to be leaking out the sides or anything, so... 4 stars!

    Uses it as a backup for our main system. Easy to setup, but I use our own backup software over the stuff that comes on the drive.

    Installation was simple and quick. I am using it for backups but can be used for most any required storage. I would recommend using it with sub 3.0, noticeablly quicker than sub 2.0
