    Fast portable hard drive

    This portable notebook 2.5” hard drive is way faster on USB3.0 than I ever expected. The drive’s sustained transfer speed sometimes is faster than my USB3.0 flash drive. I have observed the drive’s read/write speed depends upon the host computer’s bus speed. On faster computer USB3.0 busses Windows claims this drive is moving 150MB/sec. That would be fast compared to USB2.0 standards but average file sizes have ballooned in recent history so that tempers the speed boost.

    I love this item but I was mi-informed by someone at the Best Buy Geek Squad about how easy it wa to use this model with my Mac desktop. He told methat it would automatically recognize that the external hard drive was being used on a MAC system and then just ask if i wanted to do automatic backups. It was not that easy and I had to phone in and get step by step instructions on how t install id to work with my MAC.
